Spoofed

  • 4 Comments

I had it to coming to me.

Someone spoofed my Marketing Masterpiece Theatre series of dramatic readings from influential business books. That someone is Jay Ehret from The Marketing Spot. Assuming the pompous persona of Sir Stamford Albert Winchester II, Jay reads from TRIBAL KNOWLEDGE.

I’m amused. Nice goin’ Jay. (Thanks.)

A Talkable Brand is…

Clearly my WOM Enthusiast hat is on with this post.


Picture 12

WOMMA recently announced its 2009 Summit in Las Vegas on Nov. 19 & 20. The conference theme is CREATING TALKABLE BRANDS using the original social media (word of mouth) and digital social media (online stuff).

The conference agenda is still being put together. If you have a case study that showcases how a brand uses WOM and Social Media to become talkable … submit a proposal to get on the agenda. Act now, the deadline is Aug. 31.

WOMMA wants to know what we think a talkable brand is.

WOMMA has their take (video). I have my take. No doubt you have a take. Share it, like this video shares my take…

Give your Speech, Change the World | a dramatic reading

  • 4 Comments

Has it really been three years since the last episode of Marketing Masterpiece Theatre? It has. In ’05 and ’06, I had some fun doing dramatic readings of business books such as … The Long Tail, Brand Hijack, and How to Become a Marketing Superstar.

Hopefully you’ll find the humor (and smart knowledge nuggets) in this go-round of Marketing Masterpiece Theatre. All new episodes all week long. Enjoy!

Today's episode is a short reading from GIVE YOUR SPEECH, CHANGE THE WORLD by Nick Morgan. A must-read book for anyone responsible for giving presentations.
