Gifting Rules: Because 'Best Gift-Giver' is a Legit Title! 🎁 Ready to master the art of gift-giving, dear friends? 1. Just like James Bond knows his cocktails, you should know your recipient's tastes. Are they a techie, foodie, or plant enthusiast? No random socks, please. 2. Don't splurge like a Kardashian unless you're one! Set a budget and stick to it. A thoughtful, well-chosen gift can outshine a pricey one. 3. Wrap it up like you're entering a gift-wrapping competition. A fancy bow and some pizzazz can make even a humble gift shine. Bonus Tip: Always include a handwritten note. It's the cherry on top! Remember, gifting isn't a sport, but it's a chance to show you care. So, follow these rules, and you'll be the gift-giver extraordinaire! 🎀 #GiftLikeABoss #ImageConsultant

Navigating The Fustercluck #92 KISS #RemixTheWorld Simple briefs lead to simple ideas. Simply powerful ideas. That inspire people. Move people. To feel. To act. One of my favorite briefs came from one of the nicest people in advertising, the founder of the Omnicom Collective shop, Dieste, Tony Dieste. After asking me to address the team at the annual wrap-up meeting, I ask Tony what the brief was. After a pregnant pause he said: "Make them laugh. Make them cry. And as they're walking out the door, make them buzz with pride that they work here." Simple. Direct. Clear in destination. Unfettered in how to get there. And with a poetic sensibility. Happy to say, I paid off that brief. One that reminds me of one of the great briefs ever: the Coca-Cola bottle design brief. Again, simple, direct and poetic. Give your team simple direction like this and you will be simply amazed by the results.

Today’s #WeLeadComms honoree is Iceland’s Christmas Cat, the fearless spokes-cat of Iceland’s clothing industry for more than 500 years. With a clear message that he will eat any #Iceland resident who fails to receive a piece of new clothing at Christmas, the Christmas Cat has had an amazing impact on the country’s clothing and retail industries. “As you can imagine, I have a fairly tough reputation, and no one on these shores has any desire to mess with me,” meowed the #ChristmasCat in a rare and exclusive interview. While no Icelanders have been recorded as missing as a result of Christmas Cat attacks in recent centuries, and although the Cat’s advancing age might render him less of a threat than in his more youthful early years, the enduring power of the Christmas Cat’s personal brand continues to help ring the cash registers at Iceland’s clothing stores. Said one Icelandic retailer, who chooses to remain anonymous: “Of all the Christmas animals who threatened to eat people who didn’t purchase their favored products, the Christmas Cat has endured because of his clear messaging and direct style of communication. We’ll be keeping him around - if not particularly well fed - for a long time to come.” +++ Today’s #WeLeadComms profile is brought to you by Soundbite Freemium,  the innovative solution for TikTok-style video and audio podcasts for #internalcommunication. from Soundbite.ai.   Integrated fully with Microsoft Teams, Soundbite offers the ability for users to generate short video and audio podcast messages, to target delivery to individuals, selected groups, or even all-employee audiences.
