  1. @Carann @EricHennig Thx! Ep 1 of our vid series now in amazing hands of @MercuryLabs. I'm writing Ep 2, and it's even darker and weirder :-)
  2. Sure, I love being a Copywriter and Brand Strategist, but on a gorgeous day like today, I think I'd also make a very good shepherd.
  3. The Large Idea is a cross-platform brand message that works everywhere: in apps or in print, on TV or tattoos (but, hey, let's not go nuts.)
  4. @Carann @MercuryLabs "TBS, Adult Swim partner w/ Funny or Die." Good news for OUR video, which could be sub-titled, "Funny AND Die." #teaser
  5. Tip! Hiring a brainstorm leader (*ahem*) can combat deadly meeting killers. You know 'em: on.wsj.com/JaBDcV via @WSJ (also my initials)
  6. I now follow @JerrySeinfeld because (a) we're the same age (b) we have the same amount of sneakers and (c) oh, good grief, he's a comedy god
  7. W/ @lockerdome CEO @gabelozano & @obsessedwithlife @ "opening day" for #STL start-up! Rah! bitly.com/KOqFWe twitter.com/WaltNow/status…
  8. @itsjuststarla Sorry, Starla, no pity until you have great writing portfolio you show with confidence. How to win the lottery? Buy a ticket.
  9. Moment of temporary insanity: I just read that the CEO of Foursquare is 35 years old, and I thought, "Gee, that seems kind of old." #sorry
  10. Morning sun this week hits a mirror, refracts rainbow on words by Anonymous. Gotta love that wise copywriter Anonymous! twitter.com/WaltNow/status…
  11. Now shooting "How to Kill a Pitch", a vid i wrote 4 @FunnyOrDie, with @mercurylabs, @ktkmua & great actors. Crazy fun! twitter.com/WaltNow/status…
  12. @sjhammack lol, as a fan, I have no objectivity: if this the kind of thing you like, this is the kind of thing you'll love. #TheAvengers
  13. Guess who beat sold-out crowds and saw #TheAvengers. Guess who just stumbled out awestruck, trying not to post spoilers. Did you guess me?
  14. @AMBabka Yes, our @AdSaint video w/ @MercuryLabs is coming together with great #STL comedy actors. See your email for secret details. Shhhh!
  15. ONLY problem w/ today's fun rehearsal @MercuryLabs for our new comedy video: it makes the rest of my life seem so comparatively not-as-fun.
  16. If your brainstorm or strategy session is to go 2 hours +, pick your leader carefully. Good news: there ARE ways to keep eyes from bleeding!
  17. "Because we demanded it," as many did, in funny, cranky tweets, there's now a free LinkedIn app for the iPad. Snark, and ye shall be heard!
  18. Today's @WSJ says company "whiteboarding" is "in." on.wsj.com/ICy6kk To which I say, "Hooray! Hand me a marker!" See bit.ly/Ib87UX
