There are few things I’d rather do than photograph dogs. It’s the perfect mix of so many of the things I enjoy; not only do I get to spend time with dogs, I get to spend time behind the camera, and I get to see the dogs’ owners’ faces when I show them the results. (more…)
When we’re not marketing food, we’re discussing, praising, preparing, or consuming it. Does this qualify us to discuss the holidays? You bet your fruitcake. No matter who, where, or how you are, your holiday memories involve food. The holidays don’t exist because of food, but they probably wouldn’t exist without it. I could recommend trying to imagine the holiday season without food, but I won’t—the thought is very, very terrible.

If you were of drinking age in the 80’s and 90’s, you probably know that a beer drinker had few options back then (in America, at least, and especially in the AB-dominated Midwest).

Typically, I pay more notice to my VHS collection of MacGyver episodes than to political conventions, but in 2004, even I cared about politics, as a handful of bloggers was issued press credentials for the Democratic and Republican conventions. This small act of validation signaled a large-scale shift in the way that Americans consume media. (more…)
You look out the window and spot a ticket tucked under your windshield wiper. Apparently, you can’t park on the 33rd% of the north corner of the block between 1:47 and 3:43 PM on the seventeenth cloudy day of the summer equinox as defined by the City Planning Commission’s Tertiary Regulations Committee. You’re in no mood to hear about someone else’s success. No thank you, e-blast. Delete. (more…)
Speechless. Sad. Uplifted. Inspired. Hopeless. Hopeful. These are just some of the rollercoaster of emotions I felt while I was working on a video loop for the Gateway 180 homeless shelter Open Your Heart Gala event. (more…)
If you don’t already know The Nutrition Education People, I hope you’ll get to know them soon. They’re the heart behind the St. Louis District Dairy Council (SLDDC), a nonprofit nutrition education organization whose mission, since 1932, has been to communicate the role and necessity of dairy as part of a healthy diet. The SLDDC has worked with key leaders in education, health, consumer groups and media.
Store brands, over the last two years, have protected or increased their market share in 75% of the top 100 consumer packaged goods categories* (more…)
