Listening to Baby I Love You by B.B. King & Bonnie Raitt.

While driving through Norfolk this afternoon a truck passed me that was painted and wrapped with company logos and colors. But what caught my attention was the cool name of the company - Doody Calls.

That one didn’t take but about 3 seconds to figure out that they were a service company that would come out and clean up your yard behind your little Skippy.

All companies cannnot have a name as rememberable as Doody Calls but take a second next time you have the opportunity to dream up company names. Think rememberable. Think original. And think, can I remember that name an hour later when I get to Panera Bread to blog about it.

Listening to Good Morning Heartache by Tony Bennett.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

Below is a picture of my laptop and coffee hanging out at Panera Bread in Pembroke in Virginia Beach yesterday. Between the weekly Coffee with the CEO sessions, the coffee and lunch meetings, the many virtual work sessions at local coffee shops, and various social media networking events, my laptop sees an estimated 500 fresh pairs of eyes per week. That’s over 2,100 people seeing the stickers on my laptop per month and 26,000 people per year being exposed to my brand.

What is that kind of exposure worth to your company? We’re talking creative advertising at its finest. Let’s talk.
