Kootenay Rockies Tourism Kills It

I’ve never been to the Kootenay Rockies – but they are the ones funding this amazing adventure and opportunity. It’s definitely a little out there … but for skiing – this is a godsend of needed creativity to the industry.

The Cult of Speed

If anybody wants to understand my thoughts exactly on where we sit in this crazy world – as human beings… at this exact moment. Erik Hauser writes it here best.

“The world is moving incredibly fast, and we all seem to have allocated less time for the things that mean the most to us.”

Noise is everywhere. So how do you reach this “end of the rope” audience?
As Erik states…

“Brands need to agile and learn to connect using experimental marketing methodology on both traditional medias and new medias.”

I couldn’t agree more. Read the full article.

New “Milk” Campaign

Question to DDB, Vancouver:
Why does the 1-877-WEAK-111 number NOT work. Would have been genius … but instead, just weak.

The website is genius.
The ebay shop is genius.
The flickr photostream is genius.
Even the fact you are using both vimeo and YouTube to distribute video is genius.

But without the working phone number … leaves this campaign Almost Genius.

Bachelor Mark Strikes Again

101409_BachelorMark_Westword

Bachelor Mark strikes again in the local scene. He comes in at number nine on Westword’s top ten Denver reality TV stars list.  It’s a fun read but makes me ask the question… who really cares – and is the pizza really that good?  The answers are yes.

Another good friend and former bachelor Ryan Sutter comes in at number 4.
