I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

I had a great meeting in the Organic Pub with James Cherkoff. We’re pressing ahead with our idea of running a workshop for clients. It’s to explore how to make the most of Open Source marketing. (Marketing that breaks the traditional barriers which used to keep stakeholders in organisations apart).

Perhaps it was the beer, but we’ve decided to call this event Open Sauce. A foolish pun but it amused us both and will make for a nice logo – we still have a bit of old-style marketing about us. I quite like the second meaning of sauce – as in cheeky irreverent.. I think that’s part of the mix for success.

We’re going to do a first run in the next few weeks and see how it goes from there.

I’m looking forward to working with James and I hope for more collaborations with fellow bloggers in future.

Interesting research from Stanford suggests that exciting brands get more trusted after making mistakes and putting them right whilst more “sincere” brands start with more trust but lose it more easily. Perhaps the sensible interpretation is that second-guessing customers can be a waste of time!
