The Power of YOU



Today marks a historic moment in America's history.

From a marketing perspective, there are several successful examples to use for future campaigns. The 2008 presidential election showed marketers that large groups of people can successfully come together to share ideas, network, and donate through new media, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Obama was the first presidential candidate to successfully leverage new media to connect ideas with the people.

While other candidates tried to implement similar new media marketing campaigns, Obama's charisma was the bridge that successfully connected his ideas with the mainstream. America embraced the power of hope and exponentially shared its passion for change throughout the world.

From their grassroots efforts to the new and improved Whitehouse.gov, the Obama campaign can teach all of us a little something about how to improve our marketing. It will be a campaign we'll be studying for years.

Don't be afraid, if you are not "qualified."

You'll never know when you're big break will happen.  The secret is to be ready at all times. Last weekend, Matt Williams, a Texas Tech sophomore, won a month of free rent by kicking a 30-yard field goal during a contest at his school's football game. Although Texas Tech is currently ranked #8 in the country, the team has missed six extra point attempts and half of its field goal attempts. Following the contest, Mike Leach, Texas Tech's football coach, approached Williams and asked him to be the team's extra point kicker. Tomorrow, Williams receives his big break and will kick extra points against #19 Kansas. If you have a talent, don't be afraid to share it.  You'll never know who is watching and where it will take you.
