I had a nightmare. Not one of those appearing-naked-in-public dreams, but almost as bad. I had been cast in some sort of musical theatre production. That should be hellish enough…but it was the first day of rehearsals, and I hadn’t learned any of my songs or dance steps. I had to go to the director […]

I’m a marketer, not a sports fan. So for me, the Super Bowl is all about the ads. AdWeek has compiled all the ads from the big game (along with some classics from the past) right here. I loved the storytelling aspect of the Google “Parisian Love” spot, but the animal lover in me also […]
