Somewhere between a breakfast that was askew with angst about the day’s activities, a formal presentation to folks we didn’t know, and a lunch from Fat Man’s, I felt the presence of James Brown reach out and say — “thanks!” The day was very interesting on a lot of fronts.

My team saddled up and shared a new branding campaign for Augusta, Georiga. After we shared our work, I felt like an Augusta native … powerful – I tell you. Was our work and creative thinking well received? Did I hear that question from the back row?

Yes, it was taken in like a friend you haven’t seen in a while and embraced with open arms. Not in a carte blanche sort of way – not at all. It was embraced as a solid idea that the whole team can leverage to gain even more traction with each respective target audience. More importantly, the discussion around the meeting/eating/scheduling table was focused on doing so in an economical and sensible manner. Everyone agreed that evolution feels better than revolution. Shorty-short (the net-net), we’ve got lots of work to do and even more to enjoy.

I feel good.
