I can only imagine the debates that took place inside State Farm and its agencies over creating a TV commercial to run during the coverage of the 911 tenth anniversary. Frankly, if I were in an advisory role, I would … Continue reading
Video short: Change for a Dollar

I’m not suggesting you watch the entire South Park “recession” episode (Margaritaville) because, well, it’s entirely unsuitable for viewing at work or home, it’s offensive and gross. However, if those things don’t bother you, there are some classic scenes that … Continue reading
You failed. It sucks. Now learn from it.
Honda is distributing a series of mini-documentaries via a special website and simultaneously, YouTube. I strongly recommend watching the video embedded below, an 8-minute video Honda describes as “an inside look at the mishaps of Honda racers, designers and engineers … Continue reading
