Your Marketing is to “Grown Up”
“For the first time in history, the graffiti on the wall has more power than the official version coming from an organization (even yours)”
Blogs, YouTube, etc. is THE WALL.
Embrace + help Enable conversations among your fans.
Don’t take your marketing so seriously.
Stop acting so “Grown Up”
Have some FUN.
The other Hilton
Before Paris came along,.. when someone said Hilton you probably thought about Hotels,.. not a blond Hotel Heiress. Well today I want you to forget about Paris and introduce you to Barron. Not because he’s a socialite and not because he’s in all the gossip magazines,.. but because he’s a philanthropist. >
“The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation has announced that its Chairman, Barron Hilton, is building on the philanthropic legacy of his father by contributing approximately $1.2 billion of proceeds from the sale of Hilton Hotels Corporation and the pending sale of Harrah’s Entertainment into a charitable remainder unitrust that will eventually benefit the foundation. This brings the total value of the Hilton Foundation and its related charitable entities to approximately $4.5 billion.”
I should also mention that Barron plans to follow in his father’s footsteps by contributing 97% of his entire net worth, estimated today at $2.3 billion, including the created trusts, at whatever value it is at the time of his passing. Well done Sir.

Shoes that Kick Ass
Not literally,.. but the business model at TOMS shoes really does kick ass. That’s because everytime you buy a pair of TOMS shoes (USD $38) Blake Mycoskie (designer/chief shoe giver) gives a pair to a disadvantaged child in South America! How powerful and cool is that? Imagine the thousands of pairs being bought all around the world and what a huge impact it’s making in the lives of these children. The shoes are available online and at a limited number of boutiques across the United States,.. so grab a pair and make your feet (and a child) happy!
