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

I am going to record the first BrandShift podcast on Monday.

Between now and then I need to prerecord a 2 minute talk by someone interesting from the world of branding/marketing (and if you read my blog, you qualify as interesting). The subject is one mistake from your career that you can look back on and laugh about and maybe what you learnt from it.

Please volunteer yourself or a colleague by either emailing me johnnie (at) johnniemoore (dot) com or commenting below. If we get more volunteers, we might be able to use several!

Or pass this invitation on.

We can record you on the phone, or by Skype at a time to suit you as long as our producer is awak (he’s on West Coast time).

Likewise, how about a 1 mintue Rant or Rave on anything from the world of marketing, brands or advertising that you love or hate.

Reward: negligible except the fun of doing it and the glory of being in the first show.

Don’t hold back, please contact me.

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!
