Jackie et Ben,
Canada really does worship at the Church.
Jackie, I enjoyed our conversation about stuff that matters and somne stuff that doesn't (still trying to figure out which camp The Dog Whisperer fits into?) and your presentation was a perfect start to the day.
As an added treat, our Canadian national periodical on all things marketing - Marketing Magazine - just produced it's top 12 blogs captioned "if you only read 12 blogs..." and much like money in your old jacket pocket, here is the Church again (excerpted copy from My Name is Kate:
"The full list is a great mix of Canadian experts and others:
1) JaffeJuice
2) Twist Image (with Mitch Joel)
3) Seth Godin
4) One Degree
5) Buzz Canuck (with Sean Moffitt)
6) My Name is Kate (with Kate Trgovac)
7) Copyranter
8) The Client Side (with Michael Seaton)
9) Church of the Customer - How Consumers are changing everything (crazy Mentos!) and how to play along, by Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba, authors of Citizen Marketers
10) ProPR (with Joseph Thornley)
11) Canadian Marketing Blog
12) Adrants
Sean Moffitt (Buzz Canuck) has a great little analysis about the appeal of this group of bloggers; for him it boils down to fresh perspectives, openness of thought, and passion. Here's my passion ... I want marketers to be less risk averse by making technology not so scary. We all seem to do some version of "making X less scary"
To quote Sally Field "you love me, you really do love me". Kudos, cheers and spread the word.
