Putting and Advertising Both Can Drive You Nuts
Many life comparisons can be drawn to golf; advertising is one. I am happy with most of my golf game; my ball striking has never been better, and lessons from our pro certainly helped with that. Last year, I began to lose confidence in my putter. It started with the club championship last fall and…

Television vs Social Media
In part one of my comparisons of traditional media marketing comparisons, we looked at Radio vs. Twitter. In Part Two, we’re going to compare Television and YouTube.

Radio vs Social Media
The title is a little misleading, as it’s not pitting one against the other as much as trying to point out more similarities. Many small business owners invest in radio every month.

Starbucks Without Limitations: A Bold Brand Evolution Strategy
By now, you’ve probably heard that Starbucks has introduced a new logo, moving into the realm of iconic brands like Apple and Nike—a logo without words.
