They say the best ideas are the simple ones! I’ve worked for over 20 years now and across all the marketing disciplines I’ve been involved with I must have come up with or shared thousands of ideas for products, services, events, brands, concepts and communications.

None of them have made me rich (Yet! but my day is coming) or provided me with as much pleasure as what happened when a friend and colleague of mine (the legend that is Mark Jennings from D8 in Glasgow) and I came up with something.

Hilarious….but true

Living in 2009

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 when…

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2 You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )
12 You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

Go on, forward this to your friends. You know you want to.

I’m a social media addict – get me out of here!!!!), or not…

As social media grows at a rate unseen even in ‘online’ terms many are asking the question what is the value of social media and is it all worth it?
