  1. @Gennefer I'll stand by my point: stories are all well and good...but stories alone are not enough. Not if people remember only the story.
  2. @Gennefer Historically, cereals have always done well in economic downturns. What part of the Post "uptick" was due to the spots?
  3. @Gennefer "And don't tell me Shredded Wheat's..." <Did I mention them? No. I have no idea what their sales are (sales attr. to those spots)
  4. @Gennefer Re: Nescafe Gold Blend. Spots certainly captured the UK's attention. No idea how well it sold here in the U.S.
  5. @Gennefer I know what you're saying. But it's not "message resonance v. hard sell". Not that stark. Lots of gray area. Don't forget to sell.
  6. @Gennefer Wasn't talking emotional/rational. Was noting that too many spots entertain...and fail to sell (or even register the name).
  7. @Gennefer "Why advertise when you can entertain?" Did you see my blog post? http://bit.ly/T1KDY Storytelling is not enough.
  8. Just curious to know...what's the general reaction to a Twitter user (who you follow) dumping 6-8 tweets into the stream in one blast?
  9. @word_czar Err, if you slept through the speech and need Rachel to tell you what you missed, how could you have been "whelmed" by it?
  10. For the evening Twitter crowd, 2nd post: Why storytelling is not enough (at least for TV spots). My thoughts > http://bit.ly/D9yhe
  11. MSNBC banners as "Breaking News" the fact that the FHP will cite Tiger Woods for "careless driving." Yeah, stop the presses.
  12. Isn't the concept of "micropayments" just a 21st century way to nickel and dime yourself to death?
  13. Why on earth would an online retailer specializing in maternity clothing want to follow me?
  14. RT @AshDHart: Former Miss Argentina dies after injecting liquid in her buttocks. http://ow.ly/HvKn <You can't make this stuff up.
  15. Whenever we drive into the mountains of NM or CO I think "Man, I'd sure love to have the Jeep or Subaru dealerships here!"
  16. Storytelling is the current "must do." And it's not enough (at least with TV spots). My thoughts here > http://bit.ly/D9yhe
  17. Creating content for a children's museum reminds me (again) of what a great exercise it is in distilling concepts.
  18. What a relief to finally have my TweetDeck notification bar in another corner instead of upper right.
  19. Tried buying shoes online recently...twice. Vendor (L.L. Bean) was OK but bad fit w/each. Went to store. Diff shoe, same money, good fit.
  20. RT @bodiegroup: it's black friday! which of course means that my finances are staying the black cause I'm not shopping.<< Same here!
