A Taste of the Good Life

I want to share this link with you (sent to my office by one of our clients who knows what’s up) to give you a taste of what I get to deal with on a daily basis.

While at times it can be very frustrating (and humorous) to provide client services to people who do not understand web design and development, I really do enjoy educating people about the process.

Now if only they would trust me to provide them with good counsel!

Island Reef Job – Vote for Nikki

colleenjaycox — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 17:00:25 +0000

Have you heard about the Best Job in the World yet?

Queensland Australia is accepting applications for an Island Caretaker. The six-month contract is based on luxurious Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef. It’s a live-in position and key responsibilities include exploring the islands of the Great Barrier Reef to discover what the area has to offer. The caretaker will be required to report back on adventures to Tourism Queensland headquarters in Brisbane (and the rest of the world) via weekly blogs, photo diary, video updates and ongoing media interviews to help promote the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef.

The caretaker will also be paid a salary package of AUD $150,000 for the six-month contract, return airfares from home, accommodation and transport on Hamilton Island, travel insurance for the contract period, computer, internet, digital video and stills cameras access, plus travel to a number of the other Islands of the Great Barrier Reef.

I would LOVE this job. But of course I’ve been to busy to put anything together for it. Then… last night at a Superbowl party, I met someone who put together a video application!

If you want her to win, you need to rate her video 5 stars at: http://www.islandreefjob.com/#/applicants/watch/duE3zJpV1uA.

Awkward campaign of the day

colleenjaycox — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:59:30 +0000

As if the Kotex U Beaver wasn’t unsettling enough, now I find out that Burger King is launching their Whopper Virgins campaign in 5 days.

No, you are not mistaken. It’s called Whopper Virgins.

They’ve travelled to the ends of the earth to find people who have never before eaten a Whopper… or a Big Mac. Then they did a taste test to see which burger the “virgins” liked best.

Visit the official site here: http://www.whoppervirgins.com/

Since I haven’t seen the actual “documentary” yet, I can’t say whether or not it’s that great. But they are getting tons of publicity before the video even drops!

PS – I did not plan on posting about McDonald’s one day and Burger King the next. It just happened that way!

Change is inevitable

I haven’t posted lately. Mainly because of the impending presidential election and my desire not to blog about it all the time.

I’ve been trying to keep my political posts focused on marketing and the Internet, in particular.

That being said, I just read a CNN article about the new web site that Obama & Biden set up to keep people informed of the transition.

The articles talks about how the Obama/Biden campaign used new media to reach out to voters – text messaging, e-mails and social networking.

Now they’ve launched http://change.gov/ where you can read a blog, get contact info and even apply for jobs with the new administration.

Very cool.
