Do you really care? Hoodie does.

First, there’s the fact that the guy is just good at what he does: Creative lyrics, a fun, easy-going demeanor, and just a great overall entertainer. Needless to say, I’m a fan.

Personality trumps Plain, Every Time
Our new in-house, Marketing-Strike-Force-of-Awesomeness have been laying siege to the plain vanilla world of the tired & trite student housing adverts of old. Ben & Jerry themselves have trembled under the audacious show of flavor perpetrated by these skilled ninja-confectioners-of-imagination.

You can market anything… even cats.
You don’t need a marketing degree and you don’t need permission from the marketing gods. Whatever you’re doing, look for opportunities for art. I saw this on the Chive and couldn’t help but fall in love. “The Good King Snugglewumps” may be the best pet name I’ve ever heard – and I’m a dog person.
