    We were first attracted to Milltown, NJ as much by what wasn’t here as what was. And what’s still missing remains one of the appeals. There wasn’t/isn’t much crime or chains or traffic or industry or high-rises. To date our borough of about 7000 still doesn’t have a Wal-Mart, a movie theater, a McDonald’s, or

    Communications coach Steve Adubato analyzed President Obama’s inaugural speech and offered his thoughts/take-aways. I distilled Steve’s column to six bullets – many of which are common areas of growth for talent: • Be focused; have a clear theme• Be brief; don’t confuse quantity with quality• Disagreeing is OK but being disagreeable isn’t• Own your content;

    What’s the best gift you’ve ever given? Chances are it was something that the recipient truly valued – perhaps even something that changed their life. Like maybe a goat. My wife and I were recently introduced to Heifer International – an organization that purchases animals for impoverished people with the goals of helping the recipients

    Changing tastes, lagging brands, increased competition, evolving consumers, and increasing difficulty in attracting your target’s attention: sounds like this could be a list of challenges facing any number of industries including ours. In this case though, we’re talking about the toy industry and Mattel and its Fisher-Price line in particular. Today’s Wall Street Journal noted

    Starbucks has been underplaying its expertise says CEO Howard Schultz (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120761010035596407.html?mod=mm_hs_marketing_strategy). Somewhere between opening stores and inventing new Frappuccino flavors, Mr. Schultz says the company’s expertise in coffee selection and roasting – what the company believes to be a strong competitive advantage – was downplayed. Now, with its new “Pike Place Roast” debuting today, the

    By Mike O’Malley OK, that’s completely untrue of course. But baseball does provide endless analogies and, with Opening Day 2008 today, I was thinking about baseball axioms that can also apply to radio. Here are five. If you have a good fastball, throw it The fastball is the ‘mother pitch’ from which nearly all others

    NBC is trying something different for network television: a year-round schedule of programming instead of what has become a typical lineup of 9 months of regular programming followed by three summer months of reality shows. Media Life reported, “With TV ratings falling and an increasing amount of new media distractions competing for viewers’ attention, many

    Living on the road, you wind up eating at a lot of chains. The primary reasons are that they are likely to be some in reasonable proximity to your hotel – wherever THAT may be. They’re often open later which is really helpful after a day of flight delays. And they’re highly predictable in that
