Hasta La Creative!

I’d like to publicly thank John Gross, Account Director at HMH/Portland for meeting with me on Sunday. HMH has a great tagline: “preconceptions kill great ideas.” John also told me a story that revealed how he, and the people at HMH, value honesty and doing what’s right. That’s a unique attribute in this business.

I also want to thank freelance copywriter, Todd Davidson, for his time yesterday, his advice and the sweet introductions he made via email to some key contacts.

I’d like to introduce you to David Burn, editor of AdPulp (adpulp.com). He’s a writer/content director, just moved to Portland and is specifically interested in bridging social media with experiential (in-person) marketing. He might have some great ideas for growing your interactive biz.

Buy the right man a 16-ounce latte and good things can happen.

Finally, thanks to Rob Nissen at Grand Central Publishing for sending me an advance copy of Branding Only Works On Cattle by Jonathan Salem Baskin.
