You want me to act like a teenager again?

A few weeks ago I went to my cousin’s high school graduation. While she was excited graduation had finally come, she did confide in me that the last few months had been very stressful for her – trying to satisfy her teachers, her parents, her friends, her coaches, herself, all while searching for the right college and preparing to be on her own. While listening to her drone on and on about how hard it was to be a high school senior it suddenly hit me…that’s what my job is like. That’s how I can explain what I do to other people and have them actually understand it.

Gonnabe.com (Be Productions) – A new and interesting client for PlattForm

Gonnabe.com or Be Productions gives PlattFomers a nice change of pace. Specializing on one type of client does have its advantages, but everyone needs a break from the norm every now and then. That’s were Gonnabe.com comes in. The organization’s primary objective is to help young people make a career out of acting. This is a much needed service since breaking into the acting scene is very challenging. In the past you had to know someone, or receive a lucky break. Becoming an actor was such a daunting task.

It’s a bird, It’s a plane, It’s… Super Ad!

Have you ever been to a sporting event, or on a boat looking up at the sky and seen a small airplane pulling a banner ad across the sky? Did you think to yourself and wonder how many people saw the same thing? As an advertiser and marketer, I often ponder this thought when viewing the Bud Select advertisements, among others, waving across the Lake of the Ozarks on a regular basis.

The New Guy Zone, Region, Albatross

Well it looks like I am the new guy here at Plattform. Or at least I was three weeks ago when I started. Since then they have hired several others. Seems you are not the new guy long here, this company is just growing and growing. I was asked to explain what it is like to be the “New Guy” at Plattform and to be honest it is an amazing experience. Let me start with my first day…

Pow-Pow-Power Play

Where an adult can be a kid! Last Thursday PlattFormers gathered together in a not-so-faraway place where we were all able to bring out the inner child in ourselves. Our annual all company meeting was held at the huge, hidden, entertainment center gem (as much sense as that makes) of Johnson County, Power Play.

Steak and Potatoes (uh, minus the potatoes)

Two weeks ago, I traipsed off to see an acupuncturist that a friend had suggested. Was I in bad health? No, but between you and me -- I’d always wanted to try it. My doc is known as an energy healer … or spiritualist … or guru … or swami … or something. That would explain why he is not covered under PForm’s HMO.
