You have people contacting you to see if they can join When your "unintentional" employee turnover is significantly lower than the competition. When you have a waiting list of potential recruits. When your employees recommend you as an employer to friends and family. When your employees are proud to say who they work for... When people choose to stay despite a better financial offer. When employees do not focus on what they are being paid. ...

I’ve been tagged by Mark Blevis to share six random things about me with the world. I considered ignoring the tag since I am trying to make this a more focused blog but someone told me that if you don't act on these meme things, bad things happen to your friends and family and I don't want that....also I have shared so much in the past 398 posts that coming up with six new things ...

No, it’s not the beginning of a bad joke. It’s a great story involving two of my favorite things, gaming and marketing, and could teach us all a thing of two. Here’s the details. A little while back, a user named Levinator25 posted a video from the EA game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008. The video depicted a glitch in which Tiger Woods hit a miraculous shot, dubbed “The Jesus Shot” …from the middle of ...

Recently I met a pretty awesome lady and she told me that she had a feeling that there was a lot going on in my head....between you and me, She has no idea how true that is. One of the strange things about me is that I am pretty much unable to "turn off" my mind and I am always working on things. I am sort of a genius with a super computer for a ...

So here I am on Monday, flying home from Chicago, and I peek into the Business Class cabin in the Embraer 190 jet I am ensconced within, and I see that of the nine available seats, only one is being used. Eight gaping holes. Now the economies of air travel are frightening, and as an outsider I don't know all the reasons why, but here's what I do know:Air Canada wasted eight golden opportunities to ...

We really can’t deny the fact that businesses are testing out Twitter as part of their steps into the social media landscape. You can say it’s a stupid application, that no business gets done there, but there are too many of us (including me) that can disagree and point out business value. I’m not going to address the naysayers much with this. Instead, I’m going to offer 50 thoughts for people looking to use Twitter ...

I have met and talked with a number of free agents and entrepreneurs over the years. Partly through association with colleges like Temple and Drexel University. Partly thanks to the connections forged when working for a start up company a few years ago. We had conversations about business with Fast Company's network, and on occasion we helped a new business kick things in first or second gear. Those are exciting times, when you think about ...

I'm thrilled to announce that Maddie Grant and I have launched our own company, SocialFish, LLC. SocialFish helps associations make the most out of social media. We bridge the gap between technology and implementation. That's fancy talk for "we'll show you how to make your shiny new tools work for your audience."Why are we doing it? Because "if you build it, they will come" only works in the movies. Because we live and breathe social ...

I don’t need to go to concerts much any more. I don’t like waiting in line. I don’t like standing around. My ears hurt if it’s too loud (too much heavy metal as a high school kid). And honestly, I don’t connect the same way with a big concert hall full of people. But a guy playing guitar in the bathroom? I’m right there with him: What if YOUR media was that personal?

1) Learn about blogging Before you even start a blog around your brand, introduce yourself to the concept.

Great Surprise marketing, but I tend to wonder if ESPN, in sucking up to fans in LaLaLand, isn't pissing off a whole bunch more in Beantown.Their worry, I suppose, but a bright and bold move nonetheless. To welcome off-beat slugger Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers, ESPN--via their agency Ground Zero--sockbombed Laundromats across L.A. with hundreds of single red socks, like these: Perfect metaphor for a guy who's always been a solo type of player in ...
