Originally posted on the Huffington Post. When Wyclef Jean hired my agency about six months ago, I knew that our mission would be to help him pursue his mission: tirelessly working toward Haiti’s recovery. I and my team were to take care of the details so Wyclef could look to the bigger picture—that of making [...]  Comments: Leave a comment July 23, 2010, 12:03 am
Originally posted on the Huffington Post. If you’ve seen my recent posts, you know I’ve been thinking about the brain lately. I’m coming up on the three-year anniversary of my craniotomy—for brain tumor surgery—and the milestone has made me think about the brain, how it works, how fragile it is and how digital technology has reshaped [...] Comments: Leave a comment July 22, 2010, 12:20 am
Originally posted on the Huffington Post. I’ve been posting here about my adventures with a brain tumor in 2007, the ways it has changed me and the importance of brain health for all of us. Talking about brain health is part of what comes with 50 being the new 30: We’re all desperate to be young [...] Comments: Leave a comment July 21, 2010, 12:21 am
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. I wrote in my last post about my life-changing experience of being diagnosed with a brain tumor and having a craniotomy three years ago to remove it. I was incredibly lucky—my tumor, a meningioma, was in a place the surgeons could reach without disrupting other areas, it was basically benign [...] Comments: Leave a comment July 20, 2010, 1:00 am
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. A little over three years ago, I was flying high. I was chief marketing officer at the ad agency JWT Worldwide. I’d been credited with popularizing the word metrosexual (and spent countless hours obsessing on the next big thing so my tombstone didn’t say “commercialized metrosexual man”), and my annual [...] Comments: Leave a comment July 19, 2010, 10:53 pm
Originally posted on eurorscgpr.com/blog. I’ve been spotting trends for almost two decades. Trends are hard to figure and harder to tease out. Doing it right means tracking people, social momentum, brands, economies, companies—all in constant motion. But trends also mean business, especially for people in PR; we’ve got to be in and of the culture if [...] Comments: Leave a comment July 9, 2010, 1:30 pm
It’s a truism that hardly bears repeating that technology and the infinite choices it has fostered have turned the old one-to-many communications model on its head. That’s a fact for advertising, where it’s laughable to imagine businesses being able to survive simply by broadcasting their brand messages to captive audiences. It’s a fact for pop [...] Comments: One comment June 23, 2010, 9:12 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. I don’t need to tell you that the world has seen its share of change lately. We used to embrace change and make it happen (which entails pretty much everything before Sept. 11, 2001). Then we watched it from the sidelines (the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the various financial crises), [...] Comments: Leave a comment June 4, 2010, 8:08 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. For the past 40-plus days, BP’s devastated oil well has been gushing cautionary tales almost as fast as it’s been spewing oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Executives should have listened to engineers who expressed misgivings about drilling technology. Corners should not have been cut. Regulators should have paid more [...] Comments: 4 comments June 1, 2010, 9:31 am
Originally posted on huffingtonpost.com. “You can’t make this stuff up” has become a clichéd refrain in our reality-TV-obsessed, out-to-shock world, but sometimes life is so outrageous that there’s really no other response. I had one of those moments when I picked up my morning paper on Saturday. The Stamford Advocate’s cover story was about a Stamford [...] Comments: Leave a comment |
