Ever get frustrated keeping track of each individual charger for your computer, phone, iPod, portable speakers, etc.? Well that frustration has ended because there is a solution and it’s called the Bank Solar Charger. Instead of stuffing all 10 chargers in your backpack, briefcase, purse, or luggage, you only need one little pocket to hold this thin, eco-friendly charger.

Versatile. This is the word that I think of when I was first introduced to the Bank Solar Charger. Going on a vacation or a business trip? No need to bring all 10 different chargers you have- all you need is this easily portable solar charger that is capable of charging 6 brands of cell phones (including the iPhone) and MP3 or MP4 player. It also comes with a USB cable, provides standby time for 20 hours and it doesn’t need daylight to charge. Not only is this simple charger a great gift for you, but it is also a great gift for family, coworkers, and new employees! Stop stressing over the pile of chargers you have in the corner of your room- cut down and have one for all your technology needs. So, if you need a functional gift for clients or employees, the Bank Solar Charger is the gift to give!

And the Password is… [INVALID]

Once upon a time, the word Password was the brand name of a popular television game show from the 1960’s. Two teams, each composed of a celebrity guest and a contestant, competed in a game to guess words from one-word clues. One member of each team was given the “password” and tried to get his partner to say the word using a one-word clue. If he or she could not, the opposing team received a chance to try. The point value started at ten and decreased by one until the word was guessed. The first team to score twenty five points won the game and played the “Lightning Round,” where one player tried to convey five words to their partner in one minute (at $50 per word). Watch a clip of the game show below.

Preparing for AMA Crystal Awards

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

This is the time of year that we take inventory of our projects from 2007 and choose which ones to enter American Marketing Association’s Crystal Awards (Houston Chapter). In the wake of last year’s success, we are trying to pick the best of the best. In 2007, we submitted two projects – Logo Design and Individual Promotional Product. Both submissions received Crystals.

  • Logo Design – We entered our redesign of St. Pius X High School’s panther logo. The original logo was outdated and plain. The new logo better reflected the school’s personality and received student buy-in before roll-out
  • Individual Promotional Product – Our pen-turned-USB-drive project for AMA’s M.planet Conference was a big hit. The USB drive was pre-loaded with all conference materials and fit inside the cap of the pen. Marketers received the pen in a silver-and-black alloy case when they arrived at the conference.

Each entry must have a detailed work plan that outlines the challenges, strategies/tactics and results of the project. Entries are judged on their marketing effectiveness. As AMA says, “It’s not a beauty contest.”

Winners and contestants will be celebrated at the InterContinental Houston Hotel, Thursday, May 22, 2008 from 6p.m. – 9:30p.m.
