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 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 May 24, 2010, 10:35 pm
Originally posted on eurorscgpr.com/blog. When I attended the Connecticut Democratic State Convention last week, two major things struck me. The first is the degree to which politicians and political organizers are using the same analogies as marketers—everyone is going grassroots. Just as those of us in the communications business are striving to create homegrown movements [...] Comments: One comment May 20, 2010, 8:18 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. Look at the American political landscape today and you might begin to get the sinking feeling that the red state/blue state dichotomy is, on the one hand, just a bit of political show and, on the other, a pitiable piece of naiveté. We have to admit that if we want [...] Comments: Leave a comment April 15, 2010, 4:38 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. “Keep the younger generation in the state, provide jobs for the population, send the illegal immigrants back to their countries. We need jobs to provide services to our citizens. With jobs, we can also sustain our present level of living, keep our roads in good repair. Stop the politics. Most [...] Comments: Leave a comment April 5, 2010, 10:20 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. Ten years ago, I predicted that blue would be the new green. When I released my annual trends forecast for 2000, I pointed to the power of Millennium Blue. I meant it figuratively—our concern with all things environmental would morph into heightened awareness about the world’s water supply (and, sure [...] Comments: 4 comments March 23, 2010, 1:54 pm
Originally posted on eurorscgpr.com/blog. If you google “teenage rebellion,” you get a gazillion sites that explain how to cope with, prevent or quash it. You even get advice about how to medicate it—a couple of years ago, bloggers began talking about “oppositional defiant disorder,” though most of the response to that diagnosis was highly critical. What seems [...] Comments: Leave a comment February 16, 2010, 9:15 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. President Obama’s latest poll numbers may be decent—a New York Times/CBS News poll found that he has higher approval ratings than the GOP, and that more Americans blame Congress, George W. Bush and Wall Street for our problems than they do him—but we hoped for better than decent from this [...] Comments: Leave a comment February 15, 2010, 11:38 am
Originally posted on eurorscgpr.com/blog. Forget about the Hiltons (Paris and Perez, that is). Americans don’t have time anymore. They’re too busy looking closely and critically at public issues that affect them. A new study from Euro RSCG Worldwide reveals that people are losing interest in celebrities and paying more attention to serious matters such as the [...] Comments: Leave a comment February 5, 2010, 12:20 pm
Originally posted on The Huffington Post. Remember how in the 1990s, everyone was talking about globalization? Protesters railed against the World Trade Organization in Seattle, angry about treatment of Third World workers and homogenization of cultures. Thomas Friedman published The Lexus and the Olive Tree, his best-selling paean to globalization, which argued that wherever Big Macs [...] Comments: One comment |
