Olivier Blanchard asked…well he answered some pretty interesting questions over on his The Brand Builder blog. In an effort to get to know a little more about his readership, he asked if some of us might consider answering them as well. I thought it was a grand idea and I am participating here. If this line of Q& A interests you, consider clicking through the link to Olivier’s blog above and play along! Here goes:

Widget.

Seriously? No, that’s really what I say…seriously.
What sound or noise do marketers/business people make that you love?
The “uh, uh, uh, uhuh, uh uuuuuh” sound we make when we do the happy dance. (we DO all do the happy dance, ya’?)
What sound or noise do marketers/business people make that you hate?
Condescending sigh. Big red flag.
What profession other than marketing should marketers attempt – to become better at marketing?
Orchid farming.
What profession should marketers never try?
Just stay away from horses and boats.

“I follow you on Twitter; I like your work there.” #wishfulthinking
