Tuned In

  • Articolo

Now that my new blog header is up (can you see it now?), it's time to have some fun. The guys over at Pragmatic Marketing have published their book, Tuned In. And yeah, I am mentioned briefly (I'm on page 169-170). I've already heard good things about the book and it seems that they are doing very well on Amazon. Congrats, guys.

Anyway, the fun part. I wanted to do a contest to give away some of the books. So here it is: come up with the new tagline for the top of my blog keeping in mind target audience and value proposition (and that I don't just support marketing anymore but all roles at MS). I'll pick a winner. Graham, my contact over at Pragmatic Marketing will pick a winner and we can do a readers choice winner if there are enough entries. I'll have some extra copies for honroable mention as well.

 Drop your entries into comments below. I'll let you know when I am going to bring the contest to a close.

    Following with the "Tuned In" theme, I was going to suggest "Turned On", but that's likely to take us in directions we don't want to go with this blog. One of the favorite phrases here in Pittsburgh is "It is what it is."  Depending on your definition of "it" and "is" are, it could be as profound as it is useless.  And that's such a great metaphor in itself.

    Yeah, RJD, that direction wouldn't be good. Maybe: "depending on what your definition of 'is' is" Profound + useless is perfectly my style!

    I think your post of your new job responsibilities wrote the new tagline itself..."now with more global goodness"!

    The trendy word across Microsoft is "So". (Listen to any Channel 9 or 10 video.) That being said, it would need to be: So, Heather Hamilton is. Back to reality... Got to thinking about my tagline; "Thirst" would work better than "hunger". Fueled by a thirst for excellence in the worldwide community.

    Derek did a great job -- the new header makes a HUGE difference! Seriously. Fine example of how a small detail can make a big impact...now I'll throw out one more detail to consider: Ditch the other "One Louder" in the top left corner...?   The tag?  Hmmm.   Microsoft's personnel amp for blowing the dust off potential human resource markets around the globe :)

    Actually, I like what Michael Favro said about "now with more global goodness!"   OK - that's it for me. Good luck all! Jaculynn

    OK - last one. I'm finally packed for my trip and my glass of red is almost gone.  I really like "Tuned In" for your header, too!  (even tho that's not part of the contest). Because you ARE tuned in, Heather! That's why you're so good in your role(s) at Microsoft.  Don't you have to be especially "tuned in" to people to do your job?  ;)     But I still like the "amp" thing to -- especially with your hair. G'night folks.

    JP - I'll try to figure out how to get rid of it, but I think it may be a default setting. I can't even bear to pretend I'm technical!

    How about just "sometimes(profound,useless)"?  Sort of a geeky math joke there, too. I use "Sometimes technical, sometimes not, never a kitty."  What could be worse than that?

    Let's revisit a former Microsoft tagline... "Where Do You Want To Go Today?" Seems fitting on several levels. or try... "Who Do You Want To Be Today?" "Who am I today?" Another approach... -Inside and outside -Ins and outs -Word soup -Try and keep up -Can you hear me now -Just because I can

    Just saw The Who live and it occurred to me what a great audio as well as text tag it could be for you: One Louder wants to know Who Are You--I want to know! With Daltry pitching in the background--winner winner chicken dinner! Rock on sister, Patt
