Category listing: April, 2009
20 years ago on April 16th, the world was introduced to this unique comic strip. Perhaps never before had the world witnessed one guy interact so openly about his workplace . . . something that resonates with the large majority of our population. His frustrations, the crazy antics of co-workers, and the oddities of his employers rang true for many. Dilbert has made us laugh all these years because we see in Dilbert’s mundanity something that resonates with everyone.
Almost two decades later comes “The Office” – a Thursday night NBC hit that epitomizes the workplace with such humor and exaggeration (well, gosh, let’s hope most offices are not like that!) – somehow making every employee out there feel better about his workplace! Plus it offers a host of YouTube clips that employees have circulated around the internet with a likely simple message about someone in their workplace, “Does this remind you of anyone?” The recipients cackle and all know who you are talking about.
Happy Anniversary Dilbert! (read FastCompany’s article here)

ARE YOU DUMBFOUNDED BY MARKETING?
We have spoken to many of you at various venues in the DFW area – and hopefully you are considering joining our upcoming marketing coaching program that begins 4/28!
We limit participation to 10 participants so that the group discussion can be both relevant but also agreeable for everyone (ever tried conducting a small group meeting with more than 20 people???) So are you going to be one of the 10? Or just let your competition win again?
Join us for 4 sessions that begin Tuesday, April 28th at NOON CST. We’ll be on conference call for the first session and perhaps a live interactive webinar for some of the other sessions. You’ll learn:
- the key to ENJOYING marketing (not dreading as much as you do paying your taxes!) and when to give your marketing department the boot!
- how to implement a systematic and comprehensive marketing system that is SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE and AFFORDABLE!
- where all this social media craze came from and why it’s important to understand it!
