market unto others . . .

Amid the advertising, emails and calls I’ve received at the office lately, a recent, simple marketing gesture really stood out. It wasn’t an obvious marketing tactic, and it cost less than any traditional ad.

After our local newspaper ran an article about an award our agency had received, the owner of a local Chick-fil-A sent a kind, hand-signed letter and a card for a free sandwich combo. I’ve kept the card on my desk as a reminder that in today’s cluttered, fast-paced environment, small acts of kindness set companies apart from the competition.

PR rocks! Public relations and marketing have been the focus of my career for the past 28 years. As an ad agency client during the early years, I had the opportunity to experience a birds-eye view of agencies and the experience wasn't always a good one. When Ideaworks opened in 1995, we were determined to break the mold, and after 14 years, more than 300 awards and hundreds of client referrals, I think we're starting to get there. —Caron Sjoberg
