San Antonio Ad Agency Explains Mystery of PMS—Colors that is.
Sorry all of you out there who are seeking relief from monthly irritability. This post is about the printing industry standard color palatte, otherwise known as PMS. First things first, PMS stands for Pantone Matching System. (But that’s a mouthful, so hence the acronym.) I’m sure there isn’t anyone out there that hasn’t at one point stood […]
Learning to be the Account Executive who says “no”
When my career first evolved so that I was providing marketing services for a variety of clients rather than working directly for one (from the seat of a small San Antonio advertising agency), I was like most Account Executives. Eager to please. Striving to give the answers that the client is looking for. I was always […]
San Antonio Ad Agency Celebrates Anniversary
It’s hard to believe that I’ve had Creative Noggin for 9 years now. Seems like just yesterday I was trudging through agency cubicle land, bleary-eyed with my daily Diet Coke in hand.

Seth Godin knows it’s all about trust
I was just reading Seth Godin’s current blog post about “Two ways to build trust.”  As I read it, I kept saying to myself, “Uh huh! Yes! Yeah! Oh, that’s so true!” He hit home on a very simple concept that seems fairly common sense, yet there are still so many companies out there […]
Embracing Competition
Ahhh. Competition. It’s one of the most critical elements we consider when developing marketing strategies for a client. The mere mention of the word can make one sit a little straighter and feel a little more defensive. But it doesn’t have to. I overheard a conversation at my son’s t-ball game the other day and […]
