Cause Oscars

 

Thanks to David Hessekiel of the Cause Marketing Forum for honoring Lee National Denim Day as one of his Top Ten all time cause marketing programs.

It has been an honor for all of us at Barkley to be a part of this historic program.

Link here to see David's article in AdAge listing all ten of the best cause programs ever.

Another cup of Joe

The returns are in....no not that other election.  This one is truly important.  The 12 best cups of coffee according to Fast Company anyway.

I'm very happy to see that Kansas City born and bred The Roasterie has two of the top 12.  They deserve it.  (They are not a client, although I wish they were.)

The selections are made by The Coffee Review, a Berkeley, California based coffee publication. It conducts objective, blind cuppings in which industry experts rate the coffees based on aroma, acidity, body, flavor and aftertaste.

While touring the site of The Coffee Review, I found a link for a great book from National Geographic called The Ten Best of Everything.  It's compiled by veteran travelers Nathaniel and Andrew Lande and is billed as an entertaining and authoritative book from National Geographic full of "ten best" lists ranging from Arnold Palmer's ten finest golf courses to Luciano Pavarotti's ten favorite opera houses to the ten best coffees and teas in the world.

Sounds like a perfect book to browse through with a good cup of coffee close by.

Need a Top 10 List?

Just for fun, here is a great site that will give you plenty of fodder for your next cocktail party or even a brainstorm.  tenmojo.com is definitely worth a look if you have never visited it.

You can find the usual list of top ten films and top ten songs but what about a list of the top ten business start-ups?

Or the ten best hotels to visit in 2006?

What about the ten most famous noses in history?

You can check out the ten best beers; or the ten biggest beer consuming countries; how about the top ten guitar air riffs; or, the top ten blues guitarists of all time.

Of course you can always check out the more famous top ten list from David Letterman too.

Enjoy.
