How many of you have a sticker like this in the upper left corner of the windshield in your car? How many of you aren’t sure and have to go look now that I’ve asked you? (feel free, it’s okay, I won’t judge you ) For those who don’t have one or have zero idea what this is, it is a sticker (easily removable) that...
Magicians have amazing tricks – from slight of hand and floating objects to impressive visualization and dangerous tricks. No matter what they are doing, they always know how to capture an audience. But how can their style and tricks help your marketing? When a magician comes on stage, he doesn’t just walk…he appears, comes in a cloud of smoke, or flies through the air. From...
Over the next 25 posts, ending on my birthday, I will be covering an incredibly creative moment or idea from a year of my life AND one creative moment in either the marketing, advertising, technology or media world.

For example, I have talked about my experience with Portola Coffee, which in turn, led others to find them and test them out. They didn’t pay me. They didn’t ask me to write about them.

If you live in Orange County and haven’t attended the OC Fair…what are you waiting for? Definitely a great night whether you have kids or not (my hubby and I love it and never miss a year).
