Why Your Business Needs to be on Pinterest
Your business is already on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+, so why do you need to be on Pinterest, too? Isn’t it just a place for people to “pin” things they like or want to make, or how they want to plan their wedding? Well, the answer is partially yes, but it can actually help bring success to your business …
Product Placement in TV Shows
Have you ever noticed that a lot of TV shows will cover up the brand names on things or turn them around in a shot so those names aren’t visible? Or just use things that are very obviously just props in place of those brand name products? On the other hand, a lot of shows will keep those brands in …
Creating Logos & Brands.
Logos are all around us. If you pay attention while you’re walking, driving, or just sitting around you will see how everything has a logo or brand that you recognize.

One day at a time.

Sometimes it’s best to just walk away from the project …
Does Supporting a Cause Hurt Your Business?
Today I came across an awesome viral ad for Burger King. In San Francisco for Pride Week, Burger King added a new burger to their menu, the Proud Whopper. Every customer, of every orientation, looked so baffled by the new addition and would repeatedly ask, “What’s different about it?” Eventually when unwrapping their burger and tasting it, they come across …
Commercials That Don’t Make You Want to Change the Channel? No Way!
When your favorite show goes to a commercial break, do you change the channel until it comes back? Mute your TV? Make yourself a snack?
