I was pretty excited. Used pretzels for the tail (also used a big prezel as the support for the turkey neck. Cream cheese and a chocolate chip serve as the eyes. Cut red peppers for the wings and the beard. 

Year #2 for the Turkey Cheese Ball.

Fish Are Friends, Not Food.

What does your network say about you?

If you are like me, we are always trying to find new and clever ways to promote our business, organizations, or our own personal brand image.

In this day and age, every time we hop on a wireless device we are looking for open internet connections. Herein lies a commonly missed marketing opportunity.

As a branding, identity obsessed designer– I was delighted to see that Long John Silvers had named their open wireless network "Fish are friends, not food."  I thought that the highlight of my lunch break was going to be the two piece chicken meal, but the smile on my face was from the clever marketing idea!

Setting up your wireless network, open or locked, is an opportunity to share you brand. Long John Silver's carries a strong marketing campaign through bright colors, fun imagery, and an upbeat friendly message. What does your network say about you?
