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 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 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 May 28, 2010, 1:41 pm
Originally posted on eurorscgpr.com/blog. Lately I’ve been encountering more and more gestures that feel anti-consumer. The worst offenders include, unsurprisingly, the airlines. Anyone who has been on a plane in the past decade knows that flying isn’t what it used to be, but recently it seems as if it has turned into nothing less than a [...] Comments: 3 comments May 26, 2010, 3:43 pm
Originally posted on eurorscgpr.com/blog. The European financial headlines have been nothing but bleak: defaults, a $1 trillion bailout, speculation that the euro might disappear, and discontent and strife in countries from Greece to Germany. The news is definitely not good, but the tone of the media messaging might be making it seem even worse. SmartMoney warned investors [...] 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 |
