No Cowboys
Came across this cool little site. No Cowboys allows you to recommend or check recommendations of tradespeople across New Zealand.
In the internet age, your brand has to be more that nice ads and pretty design. Customer service and (gasp) actual performance is now even more essential than ever. People talk. People rate. Beware the cowboys.

Tokyo subway flicker book
This is an amazing campaign from Japan. Thousands of snapshots are taken from a TV advertising campaign, each one is put up on the subway wall in the order the ad plays out on TV, and guess what happens? That subway wall becomes a flicker book.

The Consumer is King ... Circa 1776
My old boss Kevin Roberts quotes Adam Smith in his From the Edge blog
"Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production; and the interests of the producer ought to be attended to, only in so far as it may be necessary for promoting that of the consumer."
All selling and communication must be based on filling the needs of your consumer, whether they be physical or emotional.
