A couple of years ago, the Did You Know videos about media consumption and demographics became uber viral. I just found out at my last Leadership Orlando seminar that they updated the information for 2012. While not as mind-blowing as it was originally, this video provides a great look at the world's trends. Music is… Continue reading If you’re not in advertising, this will blow your mind; plus, Halloween pics

Mid-week Motivational Ad from Ogilvy Taiwan
This week's Leadership Orlando was very video heavy, so I'll be sprinkling them throughout my posts in the next coming weeks. This one was very motivational and brought tears to many eyes... mine included!
New form of media – LED scrolls on license plates
Has anyone seen one of these? I was driving on Colonial Drive with my parents and saw this in front of me. Of course, I had to get close to get a good image on my camera, but it was fairly easy to read. I wonder how many visits to his web site this guy… Continue reading New form of media – LED scrolls on license plates
Movement In The City
This past week I had a wonderful conversation with someone at the Florida Department of Transportation about their marketing and efforts on reducing the car load on our Orlando roads by encouraging carpooling, vanpooling, the upcoming SunRail, and the expansion of I-4. It sparked my interest enough that I have done a little homework on… Continue reading Movement In The City
Politics and Media
This past week was very politics-focused for me. Luckily, not the normal office or club politics of my life, but "real politics." I took a deep dive into what makes local politics tick in Orlando. And the consensus among everyone running: advertising and social media are super critical to their campaigns. In my Leadership Orlando class,… Continue reading Politics and Media
Old timey ads with scary consequences
In honor of the fact that Halloween and its advertisements are already upon us in Orlando (yes, next week I'll probably do this in honor of Christmas... just kidding), I found some vintage ads that might send shivers down your spine. I didn't know that stoves had so many troubles to need to be wrapped… Continue reading Old timey ads with scary consequences
Tips from Social Media Smarties
A couple of weeks ago I attended the Women In Television & Film meeting where they had panelists discuss best practices and offer advice on how to handle social media for your business, your passion, and yourself. Mark Baratelli, the founder of TheDailyCity.com and Food Truck Bazaar, spoke about how everything he uses social media… Continue reading Tips from Social Media Smarties
A Village, A Main Street – Orlando Rocks
So I'll get back to media in my next post, but for now I still have to crush on Orlando a little bit. Also during my last class at Leadership Orlando I learned about the upcoming Creative Village and the Orlando Main Street project. The Creative Village is a 15- to 20- year project that… Continue reading A Village, A Main Street – Orlando Rocks
Getting to know business in Orlando
I had no idea there were so many small companies with ten or less employees in Orlando. Did you know that this size company makes up 90% of Orlando's companies and contributes 40% of overall jobs? Six percent of all companies in Orlando are between the size of 11 and 50, and they make up… Continue reading Getting to know business in Orlando
Last Vacation of Summer – Media Nerd Style
This was my summer of traveling to visit friends who live in awesome places. July was New Orleans and August was Puerto Rico. Ah, Puerto Rico. I love the old world charm of Old San Juan, I love the waterfalls of el Yunque, and I love the beaches of Vieques. Vieques? It's an island east… Continue reading Last Vacation of Summer – Media Nerd Style
