Let's Talk About Stuff.
Our Blog
Our goal in posting our blogs is three fold: To introduce timely industry news that is relevant to our clients; to post items we find interesting and entertaining, and finally, to give you a glimpse of TSW US “Behind the Curtain”. We take the business aspects of what we are doing very seriously, but we like to have fun, hopefully that shines through here.
Our Blog is a puzzle being assembled. Sometimes the individual pieces of the puzzle don’t look like the whole picture once completed – You have to keep adding pieces one at a time to make the image clear. We hope you keep coming back to see how the TSW US puzzle takes shape.
Wit & Wisdom Wednesday - Failure is not Fatal
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill
It is Wit & Wisdom Wednesday at Elarbee Media, and we love this Winston Churchill quote on perseverance. Business is rarely an adventure that continues to stay steady and level. More is the FUN!
Life is a fast ride during which you need to hold on tight, because if you can ride with no hands, you are doing it wrong.
Business Travel is Glamourous
Elarbee Media is excited to visit the UK again in December.
Cocktail Friday Expressionery and Holiday Sangria
It is Cocktail Friday at Elarbee Media and we are putting in a few more hours before indulging ourselves but we wanted to share a new recipe. On a recent client visit to New Braunfels, TX to see our PR client Expressionery, we reviewed their interview with Coastal Living Magazine for Steele of the Week. Expressionery stated in the edit copy that their favorite holiday drink was Holiday Sangria.
Since we have never had it, we decided that the oversight needed to be addressed. Here is the recipe.
1 Granny Smith apple
1 Braeburn apple
1 heaping Cup Fresh cranberries
1 large Sprig rosemary
1 Bottle Pinot Noir
1 Can club soda
Soak the apples and cranberries overnight in brandy. Throw it all in one big cocktail pitcher, pour and drink.
We will be using Bordeaux instead of Pinot Noir because it is what we do.
Business Travel is Glamorous
Business travel is rarely as glamorous as you would expect, but once in a while you get lucky. This week, we spent Sunday and Monday in Gruene, Texas, and as always we were thrilled to be there. Plus, we now have a healthy re-supply on our Lone Star Beer bottle caps.
Happy Holidays it is Hanukkah
Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Thanksgiving
Elarbee Media wishes everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
Wit & Wisdom Wednesday - Le Petit Prince
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is Wit & Wisdom Wednesday at Elarbee Media, and we anticipate in the upcoming holiday we will be feeling like the snake that swallowed the elephant in Le Petit Prince, so we thought we would quote Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
So often in life, we are compelled to make decision on a rational basis, rather than on our instincts or intuition.
Call it gut, heart or emotion, we all come to the table understanding exactly who we are and reacting to events as the character we have become in life.
Is it a “chapeau” or a “snake that has swallowed an elephant”? We hope you see the elephant.
Cocktail Friday Lone Star Beer Bottle Cap 157
It is Cocktail Friday at Elarbee Media. As part of our continuing series on Lone Star Bottle Caps, we are offering up # 157. It is a red cap, which we all by now know designates it as a regular not a light beer.
Color coded product labels and conversation starters. We like it. Cheers Texas!
Art Tuesday Pink is the New Autumn
It is Art Tuesday at Elarbee Media and this week we are working on Canadian Media profiles, so we thought we would highlight this Autumnal maple leaf impression on tissue.
Donated to the office by Colette, Age 6, it adds cheery color on some rainy and cold days without robbing itself of the feeling of the season.
Pink is the new Autumn! On a serious note, often stepping back and viewing a problem or project through a different lens can lead to spectacular results.
Tombstones for Media RIP Bow & Arrow Hunting
R.I.P Bow & Arrow Hunting . As part of our segment Tombstones for Media, we highlight popular media that are ceasing distribution. We offer replacement suggestions that target either the same demographic, or the same geographic footprint as the publication that is being buried. Bow & Arrow Hunting will cease publication for 2016.
As a replacement option, we recommend: Eastmans' Bowhunting Journal, Bowhunting World, or Petersen's Bowhunting.
