“Splitting up the Pie,” as (they) say, is not easy. That is where collaboration between two or more companies usually falls apart. For nearly 20 years I have helped develop collaborative relationships to build business, portfolio, team skills and to broaden the breadth of this agency. It has, without a doubt, been one of the […]

“Life is like a box of chocolates … you never know what you’re gonna git,” Forrest Gump said his mother told him. Well, she could have been talking about interns in that metaphor, too. In the world of advertising and marketing, interns are like the summer annual known as “lantana.” Around May they start showing

In 1997 I started talking with a few like-minded people about starting a business and no longer working for someone else. We were like-minded in the belief that we could do a better job than the people we worked for in terms of managing the business and client relations, as well as producing high-quality work.

The hard part is to just get the initial meeting. That is what I used to think when I was a young gun. Not that I am old now, just . . . older. We all know what comes with age, right? No, not wisdom – scars. After the scars have healed and you have

Seriously, the sub deck warning should have chased you off already. Either that or you are a real glutton for reading about someone else’s pet peeves and bitching their way out of a paper bag (something I have been accused of numerous times in my life).

DALLAS, TX. The general view of advertising and marketing agencies is that we are hired guns and will work for any client with a decent budget. While there is undeniably some truth to that perception, at bloomfield knoble we won’t be just anyone’s hired gun. Frankly, we just can’t afford it. As a principal in

No one that I personally know would accuse me of being overly caring. I am not one to gush praise or support on someone. The value that was drilled in to me as a youngster was, “you don’t get a pat on your back for doing your job.” The best compliment I know how to

bloomfield knoble has been watching Google+ with a skeptical eye since its launch last summer. As we stated at the time, where do people have room in their lives for another social network? We still stand behind that statement. It’s not like Facebook is doing anything wrong. They’re not driving away the masses, making them
