15 things we learned in 15 years – the hard way
To commemorate Outsource Marketing’s 15th Anniversary, last fall we decided it might be fun—and a little cathartic—to think about the things we’ve learned since 1997. We’ve learned a lot, but narrowed it to the following list, in no particular order: “Safe” is dangerous. Safe is invisible amid info glut. Safe fails. Creative must be […]

Interns Wanted: Dead or Alive
This is a real picture of a former Outsource Marketing intern. No, he’s not dead. He’s drunk. Okay, we’d prefer our interns alive—and sober. Besides, dead interns would be irresponsible, wouldn’t get much done and would start to smell after awhile. Come to think of it, same goes for drunk interns. Seriously though, if you […]

Less posts, more discussion in 2009
For years I’ve grappled with the conflict between commerce and conscience. Like most of you, I’m a marketer. Like all of you, I’m a consumer. So, I’m always asking questions: To break through, you have to do work that gets attention. But how far is too far? What do you do when a marketing practice […]
