Big Growth In The Hard Cider Market: A Report From NPR
As I made my rounds to procure the vital pieces for the holiday dinner (read – liquor and desserts), I heard an interesting piece on NPR that just seemed so appropriate.

Chicago Blackhawks Ice Sells Out At $99 Per Vial
I love marketing. I love products that incorporate team logos and try to inspire and fuel a fan base. The Chicago Blackhawks put out a product that was the target of much derision, ridicule and scorn at the beginning of the week. “It’s just water.” “They won the Cup in Boston!” It sold out in […]
Was “Royals” By Lorde Inspired By Billy Butler?
I came across an interesting blog on MLB.com that discussed the infectious hit “Royals” by Lorde. Evidently, the Kansas City Royals are an inspiring bunch – straight to the top! – by signing baseballs. “Royals” as a buzzword to inspire art.

Sometimes, the children are in on […]
