When mixing marketing and social media you never really know what you’re going to get. The response look like just another drop in the ocean or as overwhelming as a tsunami.
I came across the video below at Jason Keath’s blog, the evolution of media, in a post that compared dancing to viral marketing. How does a dancing man at a concert relate to viral marketing? Well, you’ll just have to watch to find out.
It’s something we’ve all have to deal with at one point or another – a not-so-balanced vendor/client relationship. If you’ve ever struggled on either side of the equation, you’ll appreciate the sad but true scenarios played out in the video below. Enjoy!
Congratulations! It’s been a long and exciting week, but you’ve successfully made it to Friday.
Now all you have to do is keep busy for the rest of the afternoon and you’re home free. This week we discovered a great video demonstrating how to stay busy at the office with a simple package of sticky notes.
Because it’s Halloween, we would like to share with you one of the most entertaining safety training videos we’ve seen lately. Tokyo’s Ueno Zoo takes their safety training very seriously, so seriously that they will dress up in a rhino costume for the sake of employee education.
Many learn best by doing, but this experiential training may be offering more laughs than lessons learned. Wouldn’t it be great if all workplace emergency training was this much fun? Take a look for yourself …
If you’ve ever had your lunch stolen from the fridge then you’re familiar with the strong feelings of loss, anger and rage the crime may stir up.
Lunch-theft victims will have no reason to fear any future stolen snacks if they start packing their lunch in some expertly-designed sandwich bags.
The new “Anti-Theft Lunch Bag,” from designer Sherwood Forlee, are regular sandwich bags with green splotches printed on both sides. The printings make sandwiches look like they have been aging in the refrigerator for weeks, deterring sticky-fingered sandwich stealers.
“I looked in my refrigerator and saw all the rotting food,” he says, taking care to note that he has male roommates. “I left it there and thought: This would be perfect for an office environment.”
So, we know temps are taking our marketing jobs because the economy is lousy and budgets are so tight businesses can hardly pay to keep the lights on. Know the signs of an imminent pink slip before your employer makes the decision to make any job cuts in the marketing department.
We’ve done some research here at the Training Marketer and have put together the top 10 signs you’re about to get fired:
You get to work and have only one email from your boss with “Call me” as the subject line. Inside are instructions to report directly to HR.
You get to HR and they kindly ask you to shut the door behind you.
You’re told to hand in your company badge for the “annual security badge cleaning event.”
You return from lunch and the door code isn’t working.
Your boss keeps staring at you and it’s not because of the stain on your shirt.
Your name has mysteriously vanished off your office door.
Your coworkers start asking if they can have your stapler.
The janitor leaves an empty cardboard box at your desk and it’s not for archiving files.
A strange coworker comes by to look out your office window, “just to check out the view.”
You show up to work and there’s somebody new sitting at your desk.
Another sign you’re getting fired: Someone asks you “So, what would you say … you do here?”
Remember your people skills and have a happy Friday!
