Keep up the hustle. Can’t stop, won’t stop!
Marketing is Dead. Strategy is Dead.
Learned a bunch the last few days at FITC but what really stuck with me was the very last session I went to by Jason Theodor about creativity and how to create more, better different. I have some great notes from the conference I’ll be formulating into a piece an article TAXI. Feeling inspired!
This UK stud is from Tumblr – OH CASIE
Read this article “Marketing is dead” by Kevin Roberts, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide. I’ve been a Saatchi fan for as ling as I can remember. Passion for advertising and design started very young. Anyhoo, here’s an excerpt, read the whole thing on The Drum UK here. I reckon you’ll enjoy it.
“We don’t just live in a VUCA world – a volatile, uncertain, ambiguous and complex world – we live in a super VUCA world. We live in a vibrant world where our kids are connecting to each other and to brands across the world with no money involved. To us this is a world that’s gone crazy.
“Strategy is dead. Who really knows that is going to happen anymore in this super VUCA world? The more time and money you spend devising strategies the more time you are giving you rivals to start eating your lunch.
“Management is dead. To win today you need a culture and an environment where the unreasonable power of creativity thrives. Ideas are today’s currency not strategy. Martin Luther King did not say ‘I have a vision statement’ did he? He had a dream. You have to make sure you have dreams and your brand also needs a dream.”
In other news, posted a bunch of bearded babes to my Pinterest board yesterday. If you’re into that, you’ll be REALLY into it. Enjoy the day!

Adventure & Discovery, Yes Please
Was recently introduced to Palladium boots/shoes by a contact in NYC. They just launched a brand new slim collection so when the email came in, I totally wanted a pair. Palladium is a French company founded in 1920 to make tires for the aviation industry. I think that’s neat.
One thing that really resonated with me is that for almost a century, Palladium Boots have been about adventure and discovery. Two things I love about life.
These are my new glasses by Canadian Derek Cardigan for Clearly Contacts, you like?
The Palladium Slim Collection retails from $70-$100and is available at palladiumboots.com In Canada you can get them online or in select retails stores in Ontario & Quebec (I have the list if you are keen). Digging the low-profile version of their classic style, perfect for this time of year.
I picked two of my fav styles & this is why I think they’re cool:
- Design elements – rubber outsole and toe cap, in slimmed down versions.
- Feature premium materials – cotton/hemp blend textile & premium-grade leather (Adds character!)
- Leather shoes w/ Repreve lining – green fabric made of recycled yarn, wicks moisture away from the foot (so good for summer).
- All shoes (this collection) have an extra thick cushioned sock liner for cozy comfort under your foot.
EXCITING PART FOR YOU:
The Slim Chukkas in Pool Blue are a little big for me so I’d love to send them to someone special with a size 6 feet. They fit a little big, I’m usually a 5.5-6 (Ex. Docs, Converse) so if you have a 6-7, they’re totally you.
Product specs:
- FOXING: Jute espadrille-style foxing.
- SOCKLINER: Super thick molded PU creates a super comfortable stepping ground.
- MATERIALS: Premium cotton and help upper. 😉
- LINING: Repreve ® certified recycled yarn is used to weave the Dri-Lex ® lining that wicks moisture and keeps the feet dry.
- BRANDING: Woven label on the tongue and on the quarter.
- FEATURES: Waxed round cotton laces.
Want them? Just lemme know.
If there’s a few babes with little same size I’ll pick one using random.org on Friday and send them out Monday.
Enjoy the day.
Birthday Anxiety Setting In …TONIIIIIIGHT.
FML!! WTF? Urghh 🙁
In other news, it seems Jessica Simpson named a shoe after ME! The CASIE! Seriously though right here. Casie, it must be ME, right? Thanks Jessica.
I’ve had a couple pairs of her shoes and they’re quite confortable. Nude wedges are essential for perfect summer wardrobe so I could deff see myself wearing these. I’m sure she’ll send them our RIIIIIIGHT after she has that baby. She’s giving birth in this leopard kaftan. Gorgeous.
