Top of Mind Thursday May 26, 2016: The Force of Laughter
By now, more than 143 million people have watched the quick video Candace Payne made of her new Chewbacca mask.
If you haven’t seen it yet, go check it out. This mother of two, while sitting in her car, unboxes the new mask she just bought at Kohls, puts it on, makes it growl, and then just laughs and laughs. Then she tells us this mask is for her–not for her kids!
Kohls quickly realized the value of the publicity and gave Candace masks for the whole family and more toys for the kids, as well as gift cards for back to school shopping. Candace has met with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and she’s now booked on late night TV.
Why did such a simple video go totally viral? Probably because with all the conflict and nastiness in the world, it’s so much fun to see the simple joy of someone having fun and laughing. Talk about the power of the force!

Top of Mind Thursday May 19, 2016: Whoops, Only Kidding!
Yesterday, I received an invitation to join an organization of senior marketing professionals.
I thought this was odd, because this particular organization has always been open only to people within corporations–not to consultants or service providers. But after getting two more followup emails to be sure to join, I thought, why not?
Well, because it turns out they were only kidding. Last night, I received three more emails apologizing, because the initial invitations were sent in error to people who would not normally qualify for membership.
What a bizarre set of communications–from what is supposed to be a group of prestige marketers. My first question was why, if you don’t want “my type” in your organization, do you have me on your email list–three times?
Furthermore, once you realized the mistake, it’s a shame you couldn’t reach out to this group of professionals and find a way to include them in your organization in one way or another.
Anyone can make a mistake, it’s how you recover that your audience will remember.
