He’s a Cubs fan… In the world of rivalries, the crosstown teams of the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs have a legacy of producing some passionate fans. Even when the Cubs went to the World Series, a devout White Sox fan could not muster up the strength to cheer the Cubs on to victory — even though they’re both Windy City citizens. So imagine the divine humor that took place when I met Brad Imburgia in 2017 and became fast friends. Very few people know me as well as this guy. We’ve worked together, we’ve made a few late-night Taco Bell runs, we’ve shared more than a few laughs, and our families get along as well as we do. Not only is he an incredible friend who offered to meet me on his day off, but he helped me to unravel the mess of my message (think backlashed fishing reel kind of mess). He helped me see my curiosities and seemingly disparate interests as assets and not liabilities. I left our two-hour conversation feeling like I knew who I was and the trajectory I was on. The man’s a genius when it comes to cutting through words, thoughts, and left-field ideas to bring a simple statement of clarity. If you need help with bringing a focused direction to your business and how it’s portrayed to the market in an authentic way — Brad’s your guy. Seriously. He gets people. He cares about people’s stories. He’s got an uncanny ability to help make great things from listening to what you have to say. And he’s a close friend of mine…even if he is a Cubs fan. #CubsFan #EmberBrandCo #Branding #BrandIdentity #BrandLeadership

Incredible idea! ♥ GAP's latest campaign has truly stolen the hearts of many, including mine. Building a campaign on the unique characteristic features of Jungle and Tyla, who have recently made significant waves across various audiences, is nothing short of a marketing masterpiece. This approach, coupled with a fresh take on GAP's iconic dance commercials, has created a campaign that resonates deeply with all the different audiences, especially with Gen-Z, whom everyone tries to reach through various methods. This is a prime example of a lesson we always share with brands looking to make a mark in the music industry: "Don't just insert an artist into your campaign; tailor the campaign to the artist". Seeing this concept executed so flawlessly without any forceful elements, just by rightly blending and reimagining what already exists and integrating it into GAP's values, fills me with joy. ✨ When done right, music marketing can be a powerful tool. Huge congratulations to everyone involved and, of course, to Gap! #marketing #musicbusiness #musicmarketing

🇮🇹 As a lifelong Miami Dolphins fan, I've always admired the legendary Don Shula, and one of his quotes has stuck with me: "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." 🏆🏈 Why does this resonate? Because it's a truth bomb, not just in football but in life and business, too. In the game of business, having a clear mission and purpose isn't just important; it's critical. Your employees and customers need to understand the heartbeat of your brand, your direction, and your values for your business to thrive. 💼 Take Shula's Steakhouse, for example. From the food to the service, they leave no detail unchecked. Started by Don's son, David Shula, the commitment to excellence and attention to detail remains unwavering. That's the power of knowing your vision and standing firm in it. 🥩 So, as you tackle your business endeavors, remember to define your vision and stand tall for what you believe in. It's the winning play for success. Forget about it! 🙌 #MIKEISMS #MikeFicara #BusinessWisdom #ForgetAboutItFriday

This Prime Day, Culture Puppets honors the sacrifice and tireless efforts of 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 and the countless others with the courage and willpower to be evenly divisible only by themselves and 1. In a world that seems to be getting more and more odd, or where everyone is trying to get even, these numbers are showing us the way. Until our elected leaders wake up and make this most important day of the year into a national holiday, we here at Culture Puppets will continue to give our employees a paid day off and encourage you to do the same. Our way of life here in America depends on the 3rd quarter sales numbers of the largest e-commerce site, can’t you see that? Why do you make employees work today? Are you a Communist? Anyway… wishing you and yours a very safe and healthy Prime Day 2024!
