Potty Marketing with Humor

Or, Potty Humor Marketing.  Whichever.  It is incredible what copywriters will do to snaz up a basic item. Poo-Pourri My bestie, being a conscientious individual and a person who loves to have guests over and throws house parties, has invested a lot in this product for his bathrooms.  And as the company has come out… Continue reading Potty Marketing with Humor

Things I have missed because I haven’t had time to sit in my attic

Some of you may know that I like to enjoy my attic as if it were a sauna (it's hot enough).

So I snuck into the OMMA conference…

...ok, so not really.  But they did stream it online and at that particular time at that particular day, there were no conference calls or feedback or research I had to do, and so I got to listen.  And while the panelists had great things to say, the conversation sparked a thought I had.  So,… Continue reading So I snuck into the OMMA conference…

SMS and Short Codes – Something I Whipped Up Last Week

In my endeavor to remember everything I used to do, when a colleague asked about short codes, I did a whole write up on SMS in general.  So, because it's very generic and doesn't reference any clients, I thought I'd share. 🙂 Overview of Short Codes for Mobile What is SMS?
