We are always looking for that Holy Grail. That one thing that holds the key to the consumers mind. The marketing tool that gives a marketeer wet dreams under his crisp, dry cleaned Frette designer sheets. And so guru’s preach new techniques and people start to parrot their savior. But a lot of times these followers have no idea what they are talking about. Sure it is new and it is hard to explain, but hey, why would I buy it if you can’t sell it? One thing that works for me is when I see it in action.

For a lot of people the homeless are like street furniture. You know that they are there but you pretend not to see them. For these people we came up with an initiative called the Bench Sessions. A project to help homeless people to become part of society again and for the cash rich, time poor professional to cut on his psychiatrist costs.
