Being A Student In The Wild World Of Marketing

Posted by: Jessie Power


Starting with my very first marketing course, I have been told to prepare for the “real world.” I considered myself a fairly well-rounded student, and figured I had a pretty good handle on what was to come.

Pulling at Your Heart Strings… or Not?

Posted by: Kate Garibaldi

Heavenly Creatures is a local no-kill animal rescue organization. I’ve been fostering kittens for them for over two years now. It’s an incredibly rewarding experience to help an animal in need, but it can also be hard not to become too attached and be able to say goodbye when the animal finally gets its forever home. I’ve gotten used to this routine; the goodbyes are always tough but the reward in helping raise a wonderful animal is the best feeling in the world.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for the people that run Heavenly Creatures and similar rescues. They are truly dedicated to the animals, and the team they have behind them is incredible. They maintain a great website and, as I’ve newly discovered, a Facebook page! Having these kinds of tools is essential nowadays if you want to get people’s attention quickly, even when you’re just trying to find a new home for a kitty…

The Things You Think

Posted by: Sid Williams


I, like most everyone (I hope), have my good days and my bad days. Not bad in a self destructive way but bad in a “What the hell am I doing” sort of way. Now, I’m not going to get into personal details, I just wanted to share a few things that tend to put things in perspective for me.

What Goes Up, Doesn’t Have To Come Down

Posted by: Geri Coady

Admittedly, I’m a bit of a pack rat. I’m not talking hoarders-style, but I do have trouble parting with little things that are memorable for me. Not just the special toys, books, and photos — I’m that person who keeps every movie ticket stub, boarding pass, and concert ticket neatly in a scrapbook to reflect on every now and then.

My tendency to hold on to memories has naturally crossed over into the digital world. I keep all e-mail conversations, I rarely delete tweets, and I have extensive archives of photography and artwork. Even MP3s of songs I’ve grown sick of are more likely to end up backed up on a CD than thrown in the Trash.

The physical scrapbook of travel memories sits on my bookshelf and belongs to me — it’s in my control. But what happens when we entrust our memories to a service on the Internet?

Boomp Us On Bingbong

Posted by: Jed Baker


You see, or hear, it everywhere these days. “Like us on Facebook!” “Follow us on Twitter!” “Add us to your Circles on Google+?” We hear it so much that I imagine most people stop hearing it altogether.

Flabbergasted by Febreeze

Posted by: Sean Cadigan


Amazed. Surprised. Disappointed. These are just a few of the feelings that are rolling around my mind at the moment. Why you ask? Well, as I am driving home from work the other day I hear on the radio that LL Cool J has an opinion on the young boy that has been “Febreezed” because he smelled like capelin.

The Many Faces of Funny

Posted by: David Newman


A funny thing, humour. When used in advertising correctly, it can be like a surgical tool, cutting through the walls of boring, forgettable messaging and making a precise incision into somebody’s attention span.

I’ve Got Mail

Posted by: Christine Howse


I love getting mail. Sales brochures from the newest hair salon in town, a letter from my local real estate agent telling me the market is on an upswing, coupons from the pizza restaurant down the street, a fun burger-shaped flyer offering me $2 off my next meal… I love ‘em all.
