Today was especially good because we had a Brown Bag Lunch. Basically, everyone gathers for an hour during lunch every other Wednesday to talk about brand culture in a constructive and educational manor. Conversation today was about the brand culture of Wal-Mart. We talked about would it mean to us as an agency, what it means to us as individuals and what it means to the Wal-Mart audience. We also talked about the original Wal-Mart vision and as we discussed we got off on some tangents, but I felt that was where it started to get really good. I loved that everyone came together to share their insights, ask questions and think as a community. How refreshing! I am so glad that this happens in the real world- Deb would love it.
At one point, we started talking about the quality of living and our cultural standards, which brings me to my next topic. On Monday I ate lunch at Pizza Schmizza, where I found this 1962 educational pull-down which visualizes economic standards of living... based on our choices.
Wow 1962, you're hilarious!

That sounds like it is right up your alley! I'm glad that things are going well with the internship... and I love the picture and the video.
That's great! ...but I'm curious...what were the thoughts regarding the Wal-Mart conversation?? I read a book about Wal-Mart and the making of the brand...what an interesting story and culture Wal-Mart has created.
Do you get to suggest topics?? I just read a magazine yesterday about the brand culture at Zappos - it sounds amazing - the brains behind the idea Tony Hsieh - genius. Small example - each year they publish a Zappos culture book - comprising a year's worth of mini Zappos employee manifestos for what they think of the Zappos culture (uhh amazing research tool as well!)
Anyway, we should chat about this - I've been super intrigued these past few days.
Glad to hear all is going well!
dammmn, that video hit my mood perfect. And, on a more serious note, what's up with your vimeo? I wanted to watch process.
