This is a re-post from something I wrote for the Femfessionals Orlando group that I belong to. If you live in Orlando and are a lady, you should think about joining the private Facebook group and maybe even becoming a member! It's my most favorite organization I'm a part of (and I'm a part of… Continue reading Two Juxtapositions of a Woman

Whirlwind Paris Ad Tour, Part 1
My Partner-In-Crime and I spent Memorial Day weekend on a whirl-wind tour of Paris. And while he was snapping photos of iconic landscapes and architectural structures, of course, in Media Nerd fashion, I took pics of interesting ads and media. I wanted to see what kinds of commercials I'd see so while he was in… Continue reading Whirlwind Paris Ad Tour, Part 1

Reaping Rewards with Waze
Having ridden around with Lyft drivers, you pick up a few things about how to get around town quickly. They have all been using the Waze app to figure out the best ways to get places (ways, waze, right?). But the app is so much more. As their tagline states, they're It has taught… Continue reading Reaping Rewards with Waze
Ads on the Road to Rishikesh
From Delhi we traveled four hours to Rishikesh, and along the way, we saw interesting transportation and interesting ads. 🙂 Here are some pictures of the kinds of transportation we came across while driving the highways and inside of the small towns: As we were taking pictures of all of the billboards we started to wonder how… Continue reading Ads on the Road to Rishikesh
London! Part Two: Really Neat Ads, Of Course
So back to London! Here were some really out of the box ads that creative directors had to put their thinking caps on for. How do you use all that space, or not a whole lot of space, to get your message across? And is it memorable enough to stick out? How do you get… Continue reading London!

Pints, Politics, and the Upcoming Not-so Positive Campaigns

Kevin Cate, President of Cate Communications was interviewed by Joe Culotta, political professional and beer lover.

London! Part One: Neat ads, of course
Of course I was going to start posting some of the ads I took while traveling around the world, wasn't I? After landing in Gatwick, we had hired a driver to pick us up and give us a whirlwind tour of London for the day, and then he would drop us off at Heathrow. We… Continue reading London! Part One: Neat ads, of course
Kung Hei Fat Choy and Community/Brand Involvement
Today was the third annual Lunar New Year Festival in Orlando, FL. It was a great time with a parade, exhibitions, and companies/organizations supporting the Asian culture in the Mills50 District. Some companies/organizations make total sense. Others seemed, not like a stretch, but like an interesting way for them to support niche communities and build… Continue reading Kung Hei Fat Choy and Community/Brand Involvement
Advertising that helps and advertising that made me “SMH”
Random post. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I volunteered with the United Way to pass out door tags to lower income apartment communities in south Orlando. All in all, the organization passed out 10,000 of these tags which will hopefully help put money back in families pockets. I'm really glad we did it that… Continue reading Advertising that helps and advertising that made me “SMH”
