    That was a fun exercise! Ā šŸ™‚

    Wisdom:

    I love seeing local flyers like this in the wild because :
    $2 worth of printing
    +
    $2 worth of tape
    =
    Thousands of eyeballs and thousands of dollars in revenue.

    It's interesting that each one is from a specific individual:

    Essay:

    Jay Leno accidentally gives some great marketing advice when talking about the CyberTruck's controversial design.

    Reminds me of the quote: "Dare to polarize; it's better to be loved by some and hated by others, than to be forgotten by all."

    jay-leno-animation.gif

    Jay Leno says: ā€œI just watch people get angry and either hate it, or love it. Bob Lutz told me when the Viper came out, half the people hated it an half the people loved it. But weā€™re not selling cars to the half that hate it. If you have 100 people that means 50 of them are buying it.ā€

    It reminds me of this quote: ā€œIn a world full of ā€˜meh,ā€™ be a ā€˜wowā€™. Blandness gets lost in the noise, but boldness has a chance to be heard.ā€

    And also this quote: ā€œIf you try to be everything to everyone, youā€™ll be nothing to no one. Dare to polarize; itā€™s better to be loved by some and hated by others than to be forgotten by all.ā€

    The re-do of the classic 1950s David Ogilvy ad was a really
    fascinating touch in your newsletter. It surely added an entertaining
    perspective to how modernization could reshape vintage advertisements
    in amusing ways. Keeps the content original and captivating. Nicely
    done!

    Happy Holidays! Only one of those agency names I like: BuildUp. Itā€™s clearly positive, projects what business owner/clients want.Ā 

    Definitely do not go with ConGen. Sounds shady and nebulous. The rest are meh. Except BigCheck, which sounds weird.

    Thanks for asking. And thanks for your lovely SWIPES every week.

    To 2024!

    ā€œIf you try to be everything to everyone, youā€™ll be nothing to no one. Dare to polarize; itā€™s better to be loved by some and hated by others than to be forgotten by all.ā€

    This makes no sense.

    Splurge: Really digging Kontent for agency name. Ā B2B agency name doesnā€™t make a huge difference. Ā Itā€™ll succeed because of your drive, talent, and savvy connections.Ā
