  • “Other Spaces” for Marketing: Merlins Rest, Guiness Stout and Big Top Liquors

    Continuing on the theme I started with 3M at the Minnesota Children’s Museum, here are some other places I’ve experienced someone’s message… Merlins Rest Menu Why I like it? An unobstrusive plug to be social and find them on Facebook and on Twitter @Merlinsrest. Besides I’ve always loved their name. It’s ambiguous and reflective of…

  • Great Corporate Sponsorships Make Sense: 3M and the Minnesota Children’s Museum Warehouse

    Everywhere I turn, places are named. My local hockey arena, thanks Xcel. My baseball stadium, thanks Target. Corporate support can add a lot to a community. Does it make me feel warm and fuzzy about the corporation? Not really. Does it better position the corporation in my mind’s eye? Not usually. Do I understand what…

  • Two Favorites: RC Royal Crown Cola and St. Paul’s Neighborhood Grocers

    There are many favorite beverages at my house. Some are really easy to find even if they come across oceans. Another is next to impossible. It’s RC or Royal Crown Cola. I was trying to find some pithy industry news or blog about product placement techniques in grocery stores, but apparently few people in the…

  • My Favorite Realtor: Shawn Korby @HKhometeam

    I’ve known my favorite realtor for 17 years, selling 2 houses and buying 1 with him. I tried to import him with me to North Carolina, but no dice, we had to go it on our own. I’m blogging about him today because he graciously let me interview him this week for my #unsummit5 presentation.…

  • A Student Perspective: Promotional Communications – a relevant course

    When we met for the first time the thought of writing an IMC plan was a daunting thought for me, but Sara (Sara Kerr), breaks up the process in several manageable steps so, at the end, you are impressed and surprised with what you have created… Prior to taking this course, I was aware of…

  • @WAFrostCompany – Wine in Two Views

    W.A. Frost – Gorgeous Patio, Port + Chocolate, Awesome Mussels, Thoughtful Beer List That’s what comes to mind when I think of W.A. Frost. Yesterday, we celebrated our anniversary on the patio with a garlicky, spicy, delicious lunch of mussels and Muscadet. Mmmmm, except only the manager had the keys to the cellar and our…

  • Apple: Merci, Tak, Grazie, Obrigado, Kiitos

    Something weird was going on with my Mac a few months back. I called support and they fixed my problem. It took a while, but the technician was fabulous. I was extremely impressed. Not impressed enough to Tweet about it, but impressed. A few days after that Apple emailed me a customer service survey. I…
