When Social Media Specials Break a Brand Experience
by Nan Palmero on Wednesday, May 31, 2010 in Uncategorized
Recently, my wife, my dad and I visited an ice cream shop on the Riverwalk. As I checked in on Foursquare, the location based service, it notified me that there was a special at the location. I was pleasantly surprised. According to my BlackBerry, it said “While you’re in the hood, you should hit up [...]
‘Best Seller’ Marketing Team Winick & Whitlock To Help Authors Build a Platform
by Nan Palmero on Tuesday, May 31, 2010 in Making It Happen, Marketing
Peter Winick is a friend of mine. I met him a few years back in Vegas when he was working with Keith Ferrazzi, author of Never Eat Alone and Who’s Got Your Back (amazon affiliate links).

My View on the Burns, Bacsik, Bowen Issue
by Nan Palmero on Tuesday, May 31, 2010 in Leadership, Life Insights
During a recent Spurs game, Mike Bacsik (@mikebacsik) wrote despicable tweets that would make most people cringe. Today, Peter Burns (@peterburnsradio) and Bruce Bowen (@bowen12) hosted Mike to talk about the situation. Unfortunately, the discussion between Bruce and Peter turned sour. Each was passionate about their position. Mike was wrong, undoubtedly, and some suggest that [...]

You’re the Worst, I Have Proof
by Nan Palmero on Thursday, April 30, 2010 in Leadership, Life Insights
Have you ever been told “that person can do no wrong in your eyes” or “give the guy another chance, he’s a really nice person”? This past week I found out that those preconceived notions have a name: Hypothesis Bias or Confirmation Bias. In the case of someone you may not like, you’ll look for [...]
Jesus and the iPad
by Nan Palmero on Wednesday, April 30, 2010 in Life Insights, Marketing
The past few weekends have been brilliant in proving that audiences vary all over the world. Two different events with which I had a personal experience painted a vivid picture. First, the iPad launch. I’ve read a number of tweets, blogs and even a clip on Modern Family asking why someone needs an iPad. It’s [...]
The Best Annual Reviews
by Nan Palmero on Tuesday, April 30, 2010 in Leadership
I received a call this week from a close friend regarding her annual review. She described how her boss explained to her that they really liked how dependable and trustworthy she was in her position. The quality of her work is of the highest caliber. Her boss then explained that he felt that she needed [...]
