Thoughts at xmas.

It ain’t easy making a funny video, and this season I’ve been sent lots of agency produced holiday ecards that invariably fall short (no offense). The ideas always seem better in the office than in the clients’ inbox.

And yet here’s one from The Loomis Agency in Dallas. I don’t know them, but they’ve got a winner here:

Always helps to mix disco lights and sock puppets (and be topical)…

Enjoy and happy xmas.

An invitation and special discount for Finance 2.0

The Finance 2.0 SummitI am pleased to invite you to the upcoming Finance 2.0 Summit: January 26th & 27th in New York City.

When we started planning the Finance 2.0 Summit in New York a few months ago, who could have guessed where our industry would go. I believe that the market turmoil of the last few weeks means that the Summit is perfectly scheduled for January 26-27 at the Harvard Club. The faculty features the financial industry’s superstars in social media and is focused on providing real, actionable tools and strategies that you can use to reach out to your customers in a more effective, meaningful way.

In addition to this personal invitation to hear me speak, I am also able to offer a speaker discount of 15%. Please use priority code FMP168 when registering to ensure your discount. To register, you can visit Finance 2.0 Summit or contact Sarah Dunnam at 704-889-1290 or sdunnam (at) frallc (dot) com

I look forward to seeing you in New York City!
