There's something about companies that live their values...they really do deliver the results. Matter of fact, I know of another company in Maine that has a slogan along those lines. Must be a Maine thing. I’ve been a fan of Tom’s of Maine for quite a few years now. There’s something about companies that live their values…they really do deliver the results.

Not how I wanted to start my Friday. For what it's worth, that's a great sale they're having. Get it while you can. I’m obviously really sad to see NAU go. Not how I wanted to start my Friday.

It seems to me that this goes against every bit of conventional PR wisdom but seems like an incredibly smart strategy for getting passionate supporters up and moving. Thanks for the great insight!!

I drove two hours to Philly when I first heard about it, just to go there for dinner. Very, very sad to hear that about Cereality, but at least it’s not the whole chain (minimal as it is).

First of all, they are making business work in a place that is not business-friendly (the great but heavily taxed state of Maine). Second, they were environmental long before it was cool. I buy only their toothpaste! Way to give them props! Toms of Maine is fabulous.

Without going into too much detail, explain that the company is going through a lot of change, and describe some ways in which that affects the work environment. Watch their reactions closely - do they look disappointed? Resigned? Excited? (I tend to get excited when I hear that a company is in the throes of change, because it means there's an opportunity to be one of those steadfast, optimistic people who got the company through a really challenging time.)

We have a resident "Rick Roller" in our office and he has definitely spawned an all-out battle in our office. He's also the head Interactive director at Zehnder Communications and took the competition as far as creating his own Rick Roll. Prior to the local ADDY (advertising) awards show, he claimed that he was a given a sneak peek at the winners and we could see how many awards we won here: http://www.z-comm.com/addy/ I didn't fall for it of course ;) Virginia - I was perusing your site after you spoke at the New Orleans AMA meeting (great presentation btw) and had to laugh when I found this post.
