The Best Advertising Slogans of All Time According to Digg Users:  This is a fun article that should remind us all about the power of mass messaging.  How often have you walked around with a jingle in your head after an evening of TV watching?  I admit that I do this all the time (OK, I work in marketing, so I am probably more susceptible to this).   My personal favorite on this list is: RICE-A-RONI, THE SAN FRANCISCO TREAT.  Though I don’t remember eating tons of Rice a Roni as a kid, I always loved this jingle for some reason.

What would Stuttgart look like after Global Warming? My Canadian brother-in-law is very creative, and as a Canadian I think he fully understands the weight of his national obligation to follow in the proud Canadian comedic tradition.  Aren’t the funniest North Americans secretly Canadian? I can think of a few…Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, the list goes on & on.   In this funny post, Fraser attempts to weave in Elvis, Elephants & Flamigos into a montage of what the future would look in Stuttgart after Global warming.

A Job for the Future: Kevin Roberts (ex P&Ger & now Saatchi & Saatchi CEO) puts together his list of some ad/marketing career titles for the future.  My personal favorites from this list are the Creative Connector and the Professional Optimist.  The Creative connector is going to have to “Connect people with people, ideas with ideas, images with images, insight with foresight”. Kevin was probably joking about the professional optimist title (would you be fired for frowning?)  But, what a great thought…indeed, the world needs more positive thinkers.  Positive thoughts, expressions and words can do so much for a company culture.
