Chick-fil-A released a 2 minute animated ad that is a mini story on our busy lifestyle and not taking time for our family. But it's only branded in the last few seconds. The ad falls within the their mission to have a positive impact on anyone they interact with and a great reminder to spend time together building memories with family not just during the holiday season, but throughout life. Sure you can sign up for their email program to send / get Family Time reminders and they get a little info about you, but this is more about a company doing someting positive for everyone over just trying to sell is a chicken sandwich. Way to go Chick-fil-A.

While the new Chick-fil-A commercial runs for 2 minutes and only mentions the brand for 3 seconds, it's brilliant marketing

Another example of a headline that needed a little proofing before it went to press.

Most of the general public types all day in very informal writing styles through text messages, social medial posts and email. Does this effect our general knowledge of grammar and spelling?

A great reminder to purchase your Domain Name(s) BEFORE you start a marketing campaign.

Also, do you know when your Domain Names expire? Even Google and Sony have forgotten to renew their domain names, but both were lucky to get them before someone else did.

Great Strategies are necessary for a successful organizations, but a great strategy without ex*****on and measurement is pointless.

So many companies fall in love with their strategies. They get excited about their creativity, and they declare success as soon as they think they have crafted the “perfect” strategy. A lot of high-fives and then the team goes back to doing whatever it was doing. The new, beautiful strategy has no impact because no one does anything differently.

If a strategy does not change things in your organization, that strategy cannot, will not produce any results.
