We’re Thankful For You and…

Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, fond memories (and making new ones!), giving thanks, and more. Personally, I have a lot to be thankful for and will enjoy the upcoming holidays to reflect and appreciate. I am particularly thankful for my God-given talents and passion I have for marketing, the love I have for being an entrepreneur and the freedom to live in a country where I can run a business and provide employment for others and help clients do the same.

I asked our team what they are most thankful for (personally or professionally), but with a caveat: They couldn’t say family, friends, health, or their job, because I already know we’re all thankful for those. Here’s what they shared:

I’m thankful for strong coffee, whipped cream, and ice cream keto bars. I’m thankful for family dinners and good yummy food.

I’m thankful for YouTube and online training resources (and patience!) while I try to train my brand new puppy, Valkyrie.

I’m thankful for Amazon Prime & streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc.

I am thankful for all those who have made sacrifices to defend and uphold our Constitution so that I may live my life and enjoy freedom.

I am thankful to live in the greatest country in the history of the world.

I’m thankful for my puppy, Whiskey. And the beverage, wine.

I am thankful for snuggles with my son, sunshine and cooler weather, great podcasts like Armchair Expert and How I Built This to entertain me and open my mind as I cycle through the Red Rocks.

I am thankful for my pup, Hudson, a good latte, and Crumbl Cookies.

I am thankful for HOPE, knowing that tomorrow is a new day and anything is possible.

I am thankful for diversity, without it the world would be pretty boring.

I am thankful for my health and my three pups, Butkus, Leo & Sugar.

A wife that keeps me challenged and who lives on the edge each and every day!

I am thankful for the show called “The Masked Singer” with the judge, Ken Jeong, who always makes me laugh, and for music and a cup of green tea!

A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family…

The Tale of Two Marketing Committees

Committees. Depending on your experience with one, you may think they’re great, or maybe a total waste of time. In a nutshell, some get results, some don’t. Here’s the tale of two types of committees. Both are real examples spanning years. Marketing Committee #1: Twelve years ago, we met with a sizeable law firm’s marketing committee to assess their situation and make recommendations to position and grow their firm. There were 12 committee members present. During

Don’t Let Analysis Paralysis Take Over Your Marketing

Do we need some PR? Someone asked me why she couldn’t find us on Facebook. I feel like we’re being left behind in social media. Should we do that sponsorship? Maybe we should do something. Maybe we need a plan. It’s time to move the dial on our business plan…wait, we haven’t updated “the plan” since 2009. The New Year may be a good time to start. Let’s set a meeting to talk about our marketing. We

The Hollywood Remake, the Everyday Company Way

We see it every day: the revamp, refresh, reimagine or relaunch of movies and TV shows from 10, 20 and 30+ years ago. Oftentimes, these new versions are met with protests from a fan base unwilling to allow the update or alteration of the classic worlds and beloved characters the fans have come to know. Similarly, refreshing a corporate brand, while necessary from time to time, may bring resistance and protest from supporters, both internal
