The Big Shift Business Can’t Afford to Miss

Shortly after Denise Morrison became CEO of Campbell Soup, she had lunch with former IBM CEO Sam Palmisano to get his advice.

Morrison, 60, is one of only 25 female CEOs in the Fortune 500. Her goal was to do what Palmisano had done for IBM – turn the 145-year-old food company into a “great company,” Morrison told a crowd of more than 2,500 sustainability and marketing leaders in San Diego for the annual Sustainable Brands conference earlier this month.

The Boston Marathon: A Tragedy and Showcase about the Power of Social Media

I am a Qorvis MSLGROUP transplant from Boston and like all other Bostonians, I was thrilled for Marathon Monday. It is a day that always makes me reflect back on my childhood when my family would plant ourselves on Beacon Street, order subs and set up a table to pass out water to the thousands of runners going by.

This Marathon Monday was different. As I was in a meeting, I heard my co-worker say “There was an explosion at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.”

My heart dropped.

Internet Lies and Truth—Can Anybody Really Tell the Difference These Days?

Did you hear the news about the evangelical preacher who decided to abandon his church? I know it’s true because I saw screen shots of major network sites reporting it!

Did you see the pic of how Justin Bieber has gone from scrawny to brawny by using a new steroid? The pictures were all over the blogs, though I must say his face looked a little weird somehow.

Rand Paul's Filibuster Sparks Debate

It is hard to admit that Sen. Rand Paul, a darling of the Tea Party, had something important to say when he held the Senate floor in a 13-hour filibuster demanding to know whether the federal government had the authority to direct a drone strike to kill an American citizen on American soil without benefit of trial.

The State of the Union

It would be fun if a president stood before the Joint Session of Congress and announced, “The State of the Union is terrible!” That, of course, isn’t what happens. Presidents declare to Congress and the nation that “the State of the Union is strong!” and then go on to assert all the things that need to be accomplished.

Fat Tuesday and the State of the Union have a LOT in Common

As President Barrack Obama’s motorcade rolls down Pennsylvania Avenue tomorrow in the annual ritual to Capitol Hill for the State of the Union message, thousands will be gathered along St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans for the even older ritual of Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. I think this year in particular, the irony of the two events occurring simultaneously is striking.

More Than Just "Cool Stuff"

“I see the coolest [stuff] in the ad industry,” was a recent quote from Brain Grazer in FORTUNE Magazine to explain why he and Ron Howard want to move beyond Hollywood blockbusters and venture into the world of advertising. I felt it was one of the worst—and scarily one of the most common—reasons to get into the agency world.

Do I fault Grazer? Absolutely not.

5 brands that took advantage of the Super Bowl, and 5 that flopped

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest advertising events of the year. I know people who look forward to strictly the ads, rather than football. The Super Bowl is the opportunity for brands to show off their best branding skills. This year, there were several that stood out, but many that I was left disappointed with.

Hagel's Senate Confirmation Hearing: A Tense Five Hours

On Jan. 31, 2013, I attended the Secretary of Defense nomination hearing of former Sen. Chuck Hagel. Lines were out the doors for security check-ins at the Dirksen Senate building. The hearing room was packed to the limit, with every chair full by 9 a.m. and many people standing along the sides by the time it started a half hour later.

Supporting the Inaugural in D.C.

The recent presidential Inauguration posed some interesting questions for companies and groups that have work that intersects with government relations and public relations.

Secretary Clinton, a Formidable Force

In the end, Hillary Clinton may decide she will not seek the Democratic Party’s nomination to run for president in 2016. But, if she does, her appearance on Capitol Hill this week proved that she would be a formidable candidate.
