Commercials so Good, We Have to Take Them Off the Air...

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the social media end of things, I forget to mention the core competencies of The Association.  We're not just Facebook and Twitter!  The real strength behind our work is in the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. Our last 3 TV commercials were so effective, we had to take them off the air.

In other words, we make the phone ring.  You may have heard of some of our clients:

"Google Me" Filmmaker Jim Killeen on Oprah Jim Killeen's 90-minute documentary, "Google Me", was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show April 20th. The Association is proud of Jim's stunning achievement in a genre which usually focuses on what's wrong with the world. Jim's documentary shows a different view of the world....a world which is not a dangerous place. A world where people will extend the hand of trust and friendship and invite a stranger into their home just because they have the same last name. Jim googled his name to find six Jim Killeens, including an Irish priest, an Aussie CEO, a wife-swapping swinger and a New York cop. He visited Google headquarters to see the powerful search technology in action, and visited his namesakes in four countries to learn how these very different people are actually quite similar. If you'd like to restore your faith in mankind, or you'd like to cheer up a friend who's down in the dumps, check out "Google Me". It's about the world we believed in as kids. It's a world that's still there, it's just covered up by lots and lots of bad news we're deluged with every day. After you watch "Google Me" and you'll see things in a whole different light. It's available on Amazon. Google Me was produced by The Association. (Producer - Jeannie Roshar, Associate Producer- Snehal Patel, Director - Jim Killeen, DP - Jeff Murphy, Co-Executive Producers - Jim Killeen & Fletcher Murray.)

Seminar/Workshop: Marketing from the Heart

Probably one of the hardest aspects of owning your own business is having to promote yourself.  Not only does it feel weird sometimes to say how great you are to others, but figuring what to say can be even harder!

But when it comes down to it, everyone is selling something, all the time.  The way a person looks, how they speak, the passion they possess for what they do - all of it communicates a message.  Do you know what your message is?

I have the fortune to work with The Association, an award-winning advertising and marketing firm that is also very "un-agency" (is that a real word?).  Ok, let me be more specific.  Fun and easy to work with AND effective.  The very beginning of every Association campaign is Tracy Locke.  She is the reason our OMR (Optimized Market Research) services are so successful, which result in very successful client campaigns.

Tracy has graciously agreed to conduct some seminars and workshops on how to develop your own message and brand.  This is the kind of information company's will pay thousands of dollars to obtain - we are making it available for a short time in a compact seminar and workshop.

Class size is very limited!  Don't put off signing up til the day before (besides, the early registration prices is a good deal!).  I don't know how long The Association is going to share Tracy with the rest of the world - she's kind of a secret....
