Lion Burger Served For World Cup: Purveyor Has Done Time For Tiger & Leopard Meat

Image via Wikipedia

I'm all for guerilla (not gorilla) marketing, tie-ins, and cross-promotions, but this is a "bridge too far." Wonder how many he has sold - and what was he thinking when he thought this was a good idea for a tie-in to the World Cup? How soon will PETA and militant vegans be picketing his restaurant?

Landon Donovan GOAL VIDEO: USA Scores To Win In Stoppage Time

Image via CrunchBase

USA! USA! USA! Landon Donovan should rake in the endorsement dollars after his performance in this World Cup. If only this game had been in prime time to expose more in the U.S. to soccer, rather than just folks who were out "sick" at work or watching the video stream on their work PCs!

Great, well-deserved win for the whole U.S. team!

Why Price Matters More Than Ever in Today's Economy

This is a very insightful article from noted business writer Margaret Heffernan. A Cambridge-educated CEO, Heffernan is a much-published author, with several books and articles appearing everywhere from Fast Company, Real Business, and MORE. Click below to read her latest article from BNet Insight:

Innovation's Over — Price Is Back

Her perspective lends great credence to the emphasis on shaving costs everywhere - especially in your procurement and supply chain operations - as consumers and business buyers alike are focused on price and value (a trend only compounded by the Great Recession). Her diaper analogy is a fascinating one!
