Random Friday thoughts, snarky and unsnarky

It’s summer, it’s a Friday, it’s time for random thoughts…

  • Sat down with a long-time client and friends this week and as a result I’m pledging to become more of a “partner” with my clients moving forward.  It is something we have to remind ourselves about from time to time but at the end of the day their success is our success.
  • I’m hoping that Richmond’s wildly successful Social Media Club is not becoming just another group that just enjoys hearing more about each other than from others who can truly help social and digital grow and evolve.
  • Wondering why the Mets can’t diagnose their star players injuries.
  • I’m very intrigued by the intersection of sports and social/digital and why sports teams and school are leaving a considerable amount of money on the table and not truly engaging their fan base.
  • How many groups and organizations need to be created to try to get Richmond to embrace its creativity.  Why can’t all those groups get together and focus their energies?  That would be truly creative.  (Full disclosure, THP is working with one of those groups)

Time to “clear the mechanism.”

What move is that line from?
