Getting tired of all the filming?
I’ve gone on so many rants, written and said aloud, about how I feel about the cameras. My deepest fear these days is ending up in the background of someone’s social media content, going viral for something embarrassing. A close second is having to fight my way out of a street interview. I am not…

Avoiding the virus
“Excuse me, do you have the [insert object] that’s all over my For You page?” The sales associate sighs and proceeds to locate the product. There will be 20 more people coming to look for the same product as well. They have to have it. Everyone, it seems, is driven by the trend cycle. Before,…

Just a little disparagement
I watched a video by Olivia Olfactory. It was a brief storytime about her experience with an unnamed brand.

An award-winning presidential campaign?
The 2008 Obama presidential campaign was historic. Some might think it so because it led to the election of the U.S.’s first Black president. But if you are into marketing, you will note it for another reason. It was the first political campaign to win honors at the Cannes Lions festival. Yes, that Cannes. The…

About that Pilates debate on social media.
Raven had problem. She hopped into a social media debate around the idea that Pilates, the exercise style, was not inclusive. As she pulled her video together, she said with full confidence that it was like a designer bag. A work of skilled craftspeople. You wouldn’t expect luxury goods to inclusive would you? And that…
