Wow – what another great day and awesome crowd in Charleston. Thank you to everyone who came out. Jeff, Skip, and I kept saying how much everyone’s interaction added to the overall experience. You learned more because of it, and frankly, so did we.
As promised, here is a link to the emotional archetypes slides Jeff had in his Sticky Stories presentation yesterday: Emotional Archetypes. The second slide was not included in the Huntington presentation, so you folks (thanks for all your suggestions, M.E.!) will want to check this out, too.
Jeff, in one of his common strokes of genius (dang your brilliance, Jeff James!) added in logos to show you examples of where well known brands fit in along the emotional archetype spectrum: Outlaw (Harley Davidson), Explorer (Land Rover), Regular Guy / Gal (Miller Lite), and so on.
So now we ask you – what archetype do other companies represent?
CAMC Chief Marketing Officer Elizabeth Pellegrin was our lunchtime marketing Rock Star. She spoke to the sold-out crowd at Next Generation Marketing in Charleston about a day in the life of a CMO and the high-level view of the fit for new marketing in the overall marketing mix. http://MarketingGenius.blogspot.com

Today was Tax Day in America. If you used Quicken, TurboTax or QuickBooks to help prepare your tax filing, you were not alone. You were joined by millions of Americans who use software created and produced by Inuit Corp. And you can thank the guy in the photo at the left.
Intuit’s President and CEO is West Virginia native, Brad Smith. He has graciously agreed to come and serve as the keynote speaker for the Charleston Area Alliance’s Annual Celebration on May 6th. This is a tremendous opportunity for us to hear from one of the nation’s technology leaders. We are so fortunate to have Brad coming to this great event, and I hope you will join me in attending and learning how Brad’s West Virginia roots have shaped his leadership style.
When it comes to leadership, Brad Smith is a highly accomplished and successful leader. Upon joining Intuit, he had a meteoric and battle-tested rise to the top. Serving in each of the company’s five business units over an intensive, five-year period, Brad became known as the leader within Intuit who could “sell” change to the employees. As many of you know, there are not many challenges tougher than getting several hundred employees to embrace and accept new programs, new ways of doing thing or new ideas. He did it, establishing himself as a true leader and change agent.
It never ceases to amaze me how many corporate leaders come from West Virginia! Brad Smith is a native of Kenova, West Virginia. After attending Marshall University, Brad went on to graduate studies at Aquinas College in Michigan. His prior corporate experience includes Pepsi, ADP and Advo. Brad’s full bio is here.
Please register now to attend. Don’t miss this tremendous learning opportunity!

For those readers that attended Online Marketing: Innovations that Work outside of Pittsburgh (I would say Pittsburgh, PA, but apparently it’s not necessarily to mention Pennsylvania because of the “h”) last fall, you will remember Jose Mallabo from eBay Inc. presenting about online pr.
Since that time, I’ve had a lot of interesting conversations with Jose about the steps eBay is taking to join the conversation. Earlier this week, I even had the opportunity to visit Jose on eBay’s main campus (you know a company is large when it has any campus, let alone multiple ones). During that time, I was able to meet Richard Brewer-Hay and get a sneak peek at eBay’s new corporate blog: eBayInk. Pretty good stuff. I was talking with Paul yesterday and said they seemed to have hit everything I think we would have recommended (except for the fact that I can’t seem to easily pull the logo – sorry, but I’m way too tired to open up photoshop).
