Today a junior employee asked for my help with her section of the 2006 marketing plan.
- I’m stuck on the word “intrinsic.” I want to say “The use of targeted messaging is intrinsic to...to...”
- “...our ability to reach buyers in new markets and raise brand awareness.”
- Right! “With tightly integrated campaigns, we can...”...uh…
- “Build the sales pipeline and add volume to our lead recycling program.”
- Right, good. And..."We need to launch programs that are...”
- “...magically delicious.”
- Good, right...right…
- ....
- ....
- ....
- .............wait a second.
- Do you want my advice or don’t you?
Don’t you just love messing with newbies? It’s great.

I wish I had people to lord over. Instead I just spend my time confusing the hell out of customers over the phone. It’s fun, just not as fun as messing around with the mind of new co-workers.
Ummm, frosted lucky marketing…
Greg, will you be MY mentor? *fluttering eyelashes*
that’s not nice greg. tricks are for kids.
can i do this to my undergrads?
Fun stuff.
That was fucking funny.
I think “inherent” would work better there. But the rest of it, I don’t have any idea what you people do. But if it’s magically delicious, put me on your mailing list.
I think that works.
Gosh, I hope you really did that. Hilarious. She’ll think twice before taking YOU seriously in the future, huh?
