September 1, 2009

**The below post is featured on the Minnesota Chapter of the American Marketing Association Blog. Not everyone had the luxury of knowing at the age of 18 that you wanted to be a marketing professional and chose a business major in college. In fact, many people fall into marketing through analytics, operations, HR, and so […]

Be Brazen!

August 25, 2009

Launch. Like a rocket. Or a ship. Or an inter-galactic missile. (Play Star Wars theme here) I come from a tradition where women were launched upon society through cotillions and coming out parties. Where ships had naming and launching rituals, including formal Change of Command ceremonies for the commanding officers. Where sorority recruitment seemed to […]

When I Grow Up, I Want to be Alice

June 23, 2009

This week has brought on a lot of Alice news. The first images of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland have got the web in an excited frenzy. As a Burton fan myself (I did a thesis on imagery in college), I thought it was quite fitting for the Burton lens be applied to Lewis Carroll’s […]
