A couple weeks ago I attended the fall conference of the Carolinas Healthcare Public Relations & Marketing Society at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. For those of you who have never been to the Grove Park Inn, it is spectacular. It’s the kind of majestic inn where you’d expect to find Teddy Roosevelt [...]

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending some time in a recording studio with Dr. Bill Chameides, Dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University. I’m fortunate to have some video clips from my conversation with Bill and will share them with you here. Bill has spent more than 30 years in [...]

If you haven’t seen Dawn’s TV commercial “Wash Away,” then check it out below. This spot is terrific and makes a statement without really saying much. It says a lot about the Dawn brand and made a connection with me. I love their use of music to create mood.
Not only is the commercial great, but [...]

Are you familiar with Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps? I’ve been loyal to this brand since the late 70’s – when it was a counterculture staple. It amazes me that it has maintained its relevance and popularity over the years. It is perhaps best known for its cluttered labels that feature the most minute lines of [...]

I’ve vanished for the last week or so. The reason: I’ve been attending the 14th National Forum on Customer Based Marketing Strategies. Last Thursday I gave a presentation at the conference about green marketing in the healthcare industry. It was a terrific conference and I did my best to write posts after attending particularly interesting [...]

Not only are kids today growing up with enhanced computer literacy and a fondness for social media, they are also being immersed in the philosophy of being green. I see this almost daily with my 10-year-old daughter. Green messaging is everywhere, in almost everything she reads. Often in her weekly reading assignments in “Time (Magazine) [...]

It’s the holiday season and holiday cards are arriving at my office daily. I love receiving cards, in many cases reconnecting with old friends and colleagues. What I don’t like in the least is receiving company holiday cards with no signatures! This practice is just thoughtless and lazy. Why even go to the trouble of [...]

On a recent flight to San Diego, I stumbled upon an article in the American Way magazine titled “The Wind Beneath the Power.” It tells the story of tiny Rock Port, Missouri’s $10 million investment in wind power. The town of Rock Port, with the help of John Deere Wind Energy and Wind Capital Management, [...]
