So I went and got a job…

Ken K. posted an article on - Feb 21, 2011, 9:23 pm
It feels strange to say it, but it’s true: I have a new job.   I’ve joined a long-time client as corporate communications manager, focused on driving global internal communications to engage and align employees around the company’s corporate strategy. It also means that I’ve closed up sho...

One Facebook to rule them all, one Social Inbox to bind them…

Ken K. posted an article on - Nov 16, 2010, 12:55 am
One member of my family  informed me that they find Facebook so useful and convenient that they, essentially, only share family news via Facebook.  Which would be great, except that many members of that same family don’t check Facebook regularly, or (horrors!) don’t have Facebook accounts. I...

Ken K. posted an article on - Oct 25, 2010, 5:46 pm
Just sat through another thrilling agonizing loss by my hometown Minnesota Vikings tonight.  As I follow the postgame commentary on Twitter, I catch the inevitable tweet — this time, as it happens, from  Steve Rubel, that ‘it’s time for Favre to retire. I don’t buy it. Favre should ask ou...

Blogging Strategy

Ken K. posted an article on - Jul 21, 2010, 3:18 pm
I keep telling myself that I really have to write a blog post. It’s been awhile now, and while there haven’t been a horde of communications and marketing professionals beating down my digital doorway for my latest words of wisdom, it is generally a good idea not to let the blog just hang there ...

There’s a comfort in metaphors.  The gulf oil spill is or will soon be “Obama’s Katrina,” as if there was something heshould, or could, be doing.  Maureen Dowd says that the problem is that: “Oddly, the good father who wrote so poignantly about growing up without a daddy scorns the pate...

A breakfast story about professionalism, parenting and keeping an open mind

Ken K. posted an article on - Apr 8, 2010, 9:59 am
I woke with dry, teary eyes and greeted the morning pollen dust with elephantine sneezes.  It was the first day back to school for the kids after the long break.   Time to make the lunches.  I cream-cheese and bag two bagels, and add two apple sauces for kids one and three, then pack up a yogurt ...

Don't create marketing…reveal stories

Ken K. posted an article on - Apr 5, 2010, 8:28 pm
I’ve been writing like crazy today, and I love it. Why? Because I seem to have a modest talent for telling business stories in ways that move people. I love the rush of telling stories and making clients happy with the stories I help them tell.  It makes their jobs easier, and lets me keep...
