Why Vintage Advertising will always have my heart
There are times I think I should have been born 50 years ago…
Despite my love for technology, my dorkiness with gadgets, my borderline obsession with social media, I’ve always loved vintage advertisements.
There is something so real and raw about them. The fact that I can look at something, know what it is, and say “I can haz that!” is comforting.
There are some super clever ads and new methods these days (some in my Flickr), but for me, clarity is key.
As we all evolve and update our marketing collateral and ads, please pay homage to vintage ads and be clear. Don’t lose your message by pushing the envelope.
Remember your message and be clear!
With that, PLEASE check out Vintage Ad Browser and let me know what you think!

It is amazing to me that @erichutchinson isn’t huge by now. He has incredible music. He is hilarious live. He has great stage presence. He has amazing music videos. Watch this video to see how powerful well used typography can be.
Business card on the phone, what’s that you say?
Go green, use SMS.
Contxts.com is awesome. Personally, I love my business card. For the consulting that I do, I have a nice stamped business card on recycled cardboard that really stands out. It’s simple, classy, and different. Times are a changing though.
Many people don’t want piles of business cards. Most scan them or input them into their computer to manage anyway. And now there is Contxts…
In less than 3 minutes, you can have a profile setup and automatically send your business card to anyone that requests it via text message. It’s simple, effective, and genius.
From there, you could choose to input the information to your phone as a contact, or just leave it in your Inbox and search for the information later in a convenient fashion.
Try it out.
- Text daniel to 50500 for a sample business card, message me if you’d like mine.
Mashable has another great writeup on contxts.

Carolina Cinemas has a new logo!
As Carolina Cinemas grows in the Carolinas and has started in NC, a “Carolina” theme was desired. Using the state flower, the dogwood, this logo was created and will now be phased in to all marketing collateral.  Be sure to check out a movie at Carolina Cinemas if you are in Raleigh, Charlotte, or Asheville.  These folks are really doing some great things.
