As the year winds to an end, I thought I'd share with you the top 10 KPS3 articles in 2012 (sorted by views). When you reach the end of this countdown, feel free to pop some champagne and kiss the person nearest to you (maybe clear that with HR first).
10....
KPS3’s banana-loving web and digital media expert Mike McDowell spoke at the last Western Industrial Nevada (WIN) power breakfast and shared his insights about the lessons bananas have to teach us in the world of marketing. He also shared some fun facts about bananas - did you know they are actually classified as a berry!? As I get to know this business more and more, the truth of this metaphor couldn’t be more real. When we peel back the...
Let's get rid of email blasts (or e-blasts). That's right - I said it. No more email blasts. But it's not the practice of sending email marketing that I'm opposed to, it's the concept of an email blast. You see, "email blast" alludes to a completely untargeted email that gets "blasted" out to everybody who is unfortunate enough to find themselves on a massive, spammy list. It's shotgun style, for sure. This practice is killing what can be a...
I just returned from a trip to Iowa, so farm land, corn prices, the drought, $125,000 tractors, and childhood memories are on my mind. So, what better time for another in the series of blogs on business and life lessons learned from my father?
My dad was raised in the depression; hence, his frugal nature and hyper-attention to business detail (all the better to drive success and profits to the bottom line of his business, which...
The Project Management Institute Northern Nevada Chapter asked me (yeah, the Creative Director) to speak to their members yesterday about managing the 24-hour build of GoOutsi.de during the Hack4Reno event hosted last year. Though I have only ever held the title of "Project...
My dad was uber pragmatic. Even his hobbies that seemed to pursue beauty (antique crystal collecting, rare coin collecting) had a practical, investment-oriented element to them.
My mother was also practical, but definitely had an eye and a longing for fashion, even as an Iowa 'farm wife.'
She and I would head to a big nearby town for some shopping (yes, there WERE places to shop in Iowa), and often come home with a few shopping...
Dignity and grace — two words no one can use to describe CBS’s reaction to ABC’s decision to air a new show, “Glass House,” which CBS claims is a “Big Brother” rip-off. ABC was given the go-ahead to air the show after a judge dismissed CBS’ lawsuit to stop the show from airing.
“Glass House” premiered on Monday night to low Nielsen...
Radical new concepts or simply a mixture of old ideas? Can a simple argument or an incorrect answer spark more ideas then the fluffy, everyone contributes brainstorm session? Are people who travel inherently more creative? These are the types of situations that Jonah Lehrer examines in his latest book Imagine. A book that...
Am channeling my Dad again today with memories that spill over into life and business lessons to ponder. This one revolves around a memory of me at an early driving age, backing out of the garage, SOOOO very carefully (wouldn't want to scrape the Chrysler). All of a sudden he yells from the passenger seat... "Don't back over the pitcher's mound!!"
Let me explain. My dad loved baseball. But he loved just about any sport either of his...
There’s a new Sheriff's website in town… and we created it! The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office has launched their newly designed and enhanced website. The website, which was restructured and redesigned by KPS3 Marketing, will allow Washoe County residents to be just a click away from important, accurate and timely public safety information.
In addition to the new design, the new...
