Oops, wrong person
Sigh, I just made a major email mistake at work today. I mixed up the email message and senders, so that I sent the absolutely wrong message to the person I was trying to reach. As work mistakes go, it was pretty minor, but nervewracking nonetheless. I think there are some marketers who feel that…

Well, who put a Sephora ad in my MMA show?
As the coverage came to a conclusion on the Perez/Smith MMA bout, an ad started playing. “The biggest Sephora sale of the year is here!” And then it was closely followed by a Macy’s ad. Well, that’s weird. Fashion and beauty are not your typically brands seeking to reach the typical MMA content consumer. This…
