Whether about a friend, a customer, a brand, the family, or your pet; that's the question.
LinkedIn is rolling out a cool new feature to allow you do to polling (not on my browser yet…hint hint) I made a decision on what my first my poll question would be.
This posting addition will provide some interesting insights.
But some advice concerning polling:
“If you’re guided by opinion polls, you are not practicing leadership, you are practicing followership.” You can thank Margaret Thatcher for that quote.
A quick history lesson on baseball: the first televised game happened today back in 1939. Princeton beat Columbia 2-1. This was a test game for MLB, as the first major league game on TV was Cincinnati taking on the Brooklyn Dodgers in a double header in NYC. For you TV content production types: only 2 cameras. One behind home plate, the other at 3rd base.
So the question: Which would you enjoy more today?
If the answer is the second, check out MLB.COM. You’re covered…play ball.
Could have been created in 1921 London as the Buck Fizz. Or by bartender Frank Meier in Paris at the Ritz. He only used sparkling wine…no champagne. Or the refreshing fun started in San Francisco as an idea by a guy named Alfred Hitchcock…who made it popular for brunch!
Whoever you give the credit to; get your fav wine and orange juice ready to mix…it’s National Mimosa Day. And now you’re thirsty for one (or two) without showing you one. And that my friends…is marketing. (or is that advertising?)

Looking forward to June?
Yeah, me too.
No, this is not a post about restarting the economy, the virus, reopening or recovery.
Fact is You weigh less when there’s a full moon.
June 5th can’t come soon enough.
Nobody reads/watches/sees/listens to (did I cover them all?) or really cares about advertising.
They’re interested in and pay attention to what interests them.
And sometimes, THAT is an Ad.
And YES, I find racing possums (or American marsupial cousin the opossum) interesting…you?
Love these guys from Washington (state).
Pick a street corner; where do you want to be dropped off?

Welcome to the neighborhood.
Can you describe even one success story where YOU worrying helped the outcome?
It’s a fact.
The fewer the facts, the stronger the opinions.
California is west of Nevada. Always been my opinion, a good one right? Well, LA is actually further east than Reno Nevada. Don’t even get me started about Toronto being further south than Minneapolis
Marketing can tell a great story and alter your opinion. But
Facts are facts…even if you don’t believe them…and that’s my opinion.
Bonus Fact: Chicago was almost part of Wisconsin.
This week’s brilliant brand idea is a moving concept that comes from the minds at Apple.
When data can be displayed to tell a story and make a concept easy to understand…it’s advancement.
The question, how have our daily travels been impacted by the virus? Did we “stay in place”? Are we beginning to be “on the move” again. By auto, by Transit and by foot. The image below shows the mobility of the Philadelphia area. As you can see, Philly is stirring.

I’m no paid endorsement influcencer; just sharing things from people doing things…and doing them differently to make it better for us all.
Think it’s just another day in our virus hamster wheel?
Well, it IS a special day. It’s someone’s birthday…maybe an anniversary. Could be a special occasion to remember for some business, work or life event. Every day is a special day for someone. Remember it, celebrate it and what makes it a notable day for them.
What makes it extra special for them is that YOU remembered.
