I love this video! This is truly cognitive communication at its best. Oh, and the subject matter is truly eye opening as well. Some very interesting research about what motivates people. It’s worth the 10 minutes to watch this.

I love fireworks. Always have. Hence the name of our digital marketing agency. Fireworks always inspire. They exhilarate. They can’t be missed. This animation by PES is a creative take on fireworks. I had to post it!

I had to share this video. I am fast becoming an iPad fan. I hear all the objections…it’s just a giant iPhone, it doesn’t play Flash, it doesn’t have a camera, you can’t combine ATT  3G accounts with your iPhone, etc, etc. But all that aside, this may simply be the most “business-lifestyle-marketing-sales-productivity-daily-task-altering-object-of-desire” the common man has ever seen.  This little video shows iPad’s awesome versatility using an inexpensive velcro strip.

I’ve heard it said that failure equals growth. Well, if that is truly the case, then a lot of growing’s been going on in 2009! How do you handle failure in your life? What is your attitude when the bottom is dropping out of your industry, your project, your business, your life?

According to John C. Maxwell, author of  Failing Forward: Turning Mistakes into Stepping Stones for Success we either panic and repeat failure over and over again, or we learn from our failures and grow.

Here are The Five Rules of Life
1. You will learn lessons
2. There are no mistakes, just lessons
3. A lesson is repeated until it is learned
4. If you don’t learn the easy lessons they get harder
5. You’ll know you’ve learned a lesson when your actions change

My wife and I saw this video this morning and were reminded again how failure is part of life and a stepping stone to success if handled properly. So let’s all learn our lessons and fail as achievers!

We live in a world where interruption marketing continues to slide into oblivion. Our lives are busier than ever and the clutter around us is deafening. How do we reach our target audience in this changing marketplace without interrupting them? Are Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and social bookmarking just a fad?

I challenge you to watch this video and consider if social media has a place in your marketing budget. Yes, it’s time-consuming, takes a big commitment to stick with it, and it’s hard to track ROI, but the fact is, social media is here to stay and it’s changing the way we market all products and services to consumers and to other businesses.

We’d love to talk with you about your social media marketing challenges. Give us a call if you’d like to discuss the possibilities for your business.
