Ironic that beating Canada the first time might be what costs the US the gold… #
Curious that NBC didn't really say much about former-NASCAR driver Geoff Bodine being one of the gold medal-winning bobsled designers. #
@jessiwilson picture?? Love labs! in reply to jessiwilson #
@ryanmgreene see…strat-comm WAS the way to go! in reply to ryanmgreene #
Feeling a little better @clifbo and I weren't chosen now – all peeps in markets way bigger than KC http://bit.ly/dx4db8 #fiestamovement #
@Walgreens – I really wish you'd fix your photo ordering online so I can choose matte – store has option, why can't I pick it? #

@auggy I agree, didn't even know it existed! Link? in reply to auggy #
Seriously, it's 2010 – how do you not have a mailing address on your website? That drives me nuts. #
@shootoutloud Yeah, we were close but didn't make it. Every market they chose is far bigger than KC – think that was a big part of it in reply to shootoutloud #
@paigeworthy Well yeah, but the company that prompted the Tweet is a huge national brand. in reply to paigeworthy #
K @palm, I've had webOS 1.4 for less than a week and blinking notification is already driving me nuts – need more customization options… #
@palm like blink only for texts, blink only for a certain email account, etc. Love the feature, just need more customization. Thanks! #
@auggy Thanks – I signed up. You'd think that would be plastered all over the homepage. I don't wonder why they are losing $ very often. in reply to auggy #
@ktom17 You with Ply Gem in NC or are you here in KC? in reply to ktom17 #
I just ousted @kolbyk as the mayor of US Bank on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/75XWkZ #

@ktom17 Ah, they are a long-time client of ours, that's why I asked #
Dang KU was so close RT @ESPN_CollHoops: North Carolina becomes the second program (UK) to reach 2,000 wins #
Absolutely stunning to me how many Facebook ads I get for things nowhere near me – so easy to geo-target w/ FB system, how do people miss? #
@SethDavisHoops I'm shocked you've never been to Hinkle. GIA is a surprise too – wow Seth, get to it! in reply to SethDavisHoops #
@wherewordsfail Moral issue aside, that ad is well-targeted.It's when I get ads for bar specials in Virginia Beach that I shake my head. in reply to wherewordsfail #
@LetsKazoo Yep, know what u mean.Was referring to the constant ads 4 bar specials/sales in VA Beach, DC, etc. that I see. Silly waste of $! in reply to LetsKazoo #
@Andy_Staples What is the most hostile then, nationally, in Big 10, and in Big XII? in reply to Andy_Staples #

Can barely visit fiestamovement.com – 2 disappointing to see all the fun…and big hole in the middle of the USA where they have no agents #
@paigeworthy Yeah, they wanted agents in bigger markets, I think – smallest chosen markets are San Diego and Seattle, I think. in reply to paigeworthy #

Sorry K-State, you've come a long way but you don't come into AFH and beat KU on Senior Night. #
@americopywriter how long? Happened to me in KU dorms – 3 hour wait in reply to americopywriter #
@BURNadvertising go home Jeff in reply to BURNadvertising #
@auggy absolutely…no KSU fan could have expected a win in reply to auggy #
@BURNadvertising ah thought Burn World HQ was the studio in reply to BURNadvertising #
@elooney I'm not sorry in reply to elooney #
@sethyg Hoped for a win, yes. But beating KU at home on Senior Night, not happenin: in reply to sethyg #
I hope I don't sound like a bad, overly cocky KU fan (I don't like them either) but I guess I must sometimes. Apologies for that. #

Can't wait to see @mrShaun up on stage! RT @artandcopyclub: VS is tonight at Bear House at 5:30! Beer is free. See you there. #
@trustthedust I'm with you – if I step away from it for a day, I will have minimum 500 unread items. Maybe I need to reduce my feeds? in reply to trustthedust #
@trustthedust Yep, we've absolutely hit info overload. Same thing with Twitter – if I don't check it every 2 hours, I miss tons of stuff. in reply to trustthedust #
@SethDavisHoops Why Boeheim over Frank Martin? in reply to SethDavisHoops #
@jessiwilson Don't know if you're a Scrubs fan, but this clip is a perfect complement to your Tweet http://bit.ly/c6JJEi in reply to jessiwilson #
Really impressed with Fantastic Sam's E-Club signup and registration process – followed best practices from start to finish – well done. #
@paigeworthy Ha, well you're not a marketer – that's the way we speak in reply to paigeworthy #
@paigeworthy best way I had to sum up that they followed every rule, guideline and law for letting people choose how to be comm'd with. in reply to paigeworthy #
@paigeworthy Yes, but I only had 140 characters in reply to paigeworthy #
Jeers to the idiot KU fan that smashed @eltonmayfield 's sideview mirror last night at Johnny's – Not so Rock Chalk. #

@SammyRyRy it is – you're an unfortunate victim of our ridiculous news cycle, but now more famous than ever too probably in reply to SammyRyRy #
Great event last night @artandcopyclub – good times, thanks to Bear House Films for hosting! #
@D_Shawn I think those shorts would look great on you Shawn. in reply to D_Shawn #
@NickBarnett Sounds like it – maybe joining Peppers in Seattle; that'd be one serious D-Line. Sad to see him go. in reply to NickBarnett #
@D_Shawn Their data on you must be screwed up – I'm on their email list but didn't get anything today. Thoughts @ExpressLisaG ? in reply to D_Shawn #
So @kevinfullerton @NadiaMorey and others, how much did you like the season finale of #burnnotice last night? #
For such good marketers, I'm confused why Chipotle sends emails from "jstupp@chipotle.com" Am I supposed to know that person? #
@paigeworthy That's probably the argument, but if so, it should come from "John Doe, Chipotle KC P&L Location Manager" – see my point? in reply to paigeworthy #
@KyleRohde jstupp means nothing to me but the local store manager's name might. in reply to KyleRohde #

@ProFootballTalk nope, this wasn't even a medal game. in reply to ProFootballTalk #
@WhitlockJason c'mon, last five mins of KU v. Memphis every bit as gut-wrenching as that hockey game in reply to WhitlockJason #
@elooney – good to meet you on Saturday and congrats to you and the VML crew on another big haul of awards! #
Always annoyed by people saying "Kansas University" – I blame the LJW. Calling it KU confuses the issue but it's the University of Kansas. #
@ryanmgreene Did that not drive you crazy when you were working for LJW? in reply to ryanmgreene #

@WhitlockJason How is Kietzman's petition doing? And how fun would it be to have him on Twitter? He couldn't handle it… in reply to WhitlockJason #
Every time I see the Bud Light/T-Pain commercial, I laugh. Love it. #
@ryanmgreene Well, it IS Kietzman we're talking about – there's no bigger egomaniac and worse journalist in KC. in reply to ryanmgreene #
@ryanmgreene Yep, too bad he's an owner of @sportsradio810 so nobody holds him accountable for his terrible journalism…learned at KSU in reply to ryanmgreene #
Anybody know if it's smart to buy a flight to Cancun now or wait longer – trip is June 14-19. Can't decide if it'll get cheaper or not. #
@ryanmgreene It's funny, 810's such a powerful station locally and I can't stand anybody on it except @ssj_whb …and he's the MU guy. in reply to ryanmgreene #

Hey @BradyMcCollough @JasonKingYahoo @GaryBedore – is Sherron really the leader people claim, or is that overstated because he's a senior. #

@shortMonica Where did they say that? Only see two tweets from them today. in reply to shortMonica #
@shortMonica Nevermind – just saw Scott Monty's tweet in reply to shortMonica #
Hoping for some good Twitter karma for me, @clifbo , @shortmonica ,@s34ochacki and @aaronkaiser – c'mon #fiestamovement you need us! #
@americopywriter He's done Hooter's spots for years; think they're a big donor to his foundation and/or the V Fund. But yes, terrible. in reply to americopywriter #
Bob Knight just made it sound like KU hasn't been good at bball for that long…yep, only about 113 years. Not too long… #
@WhitlockJason He's actually been decent tonight, I think – Musberger trying to be expert on everything (i.e. NASCAR) is driving me nuts. in reply to WhitlockJason #

Weirdness from the Fiesta Movement

kylerohde — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 05:14:06 +0000

Well, it’s now been 17 days since Clifton and I submitted our application and video for the Fiesta Movement 2 (if you want to check it out, go back to this post). That was a Sunday, and the very next afternoon, I had a 30-40 minute phone interview with a guy from one of the agencies partnering with Ford on the project. The phone call covered a wide range of topics, from my background to the creative people I associate with here in KC, to why Clifton and I would make great candidates for the project. It ended with me being told we’d have background check forms to fill out the next day and a statement that Ford would be making decisions late that week or early the week of the 15th. Chosen pairs would be going to Detroit for training that weekend (Feb 20-21).

Clifton and I got our form in and waited with baited breath for the rest of the week, visiting www.fiestamovement.com over and over, refreshing my TweetDeck search for #fiestamovement and grabbing my phone every time it vibrated, hoping for a call. And it never came but we did see a few different agents post that they’d been chosen and on their way to Detroit. We were disappointed but figured it was over.

Well, after a few searches and tweets, I discovered that there was a bunch of people who’d had the exact same experience. That is, until @FordFiesta posted this:

The last info we've gotten from Ford...

Since then, myself and the other applicants have all been contacting Ford, trying to find out what’s going on. I’ve left two voicemails with the guy who interviewed me, DM’d Sam De La Garza and tweeted once or twice a day. All that sort of culminated in this chain of Tweets today:

There's some confusion happening...

@fordfiesta is not tweeting anywhere near its normal volume and nobody seems to be responding. So I guess we’ll continue to wait, but it’s highly disappointing to see Ford handling it this way. It certainly doesn’t reflect the reputation and work that they’ve put into their social media efforts over the past couple years. They’re late on their own self-imposed deadline – see the screenshot from fiestamovement.com taken tonight at 11:10 CST.

Feb 22? Didn't happen...

I hope we get some kind of explanation from Ford at least; I don’t expect the world but after all the work we put in and them taking the time to interview me and conduct a background check, the promised follow-up would be nice. Guess I’ll start working on my video for the Mustang Movement – how about it Ford? All I want is a new GT convertible with the all-new 412 HP 5.0.

EDIT 2/25 around 10:30 AM: it appears the mini-firestorm this started prompted a response this morning. I’ve exchanged three DM’s this morning with Sam De La Garza, which you can see below. My response to his first DM was “Thanks Sam – not a big deal in the end just surprising not to get more comm. from you guys. Hope my team still has a chance!” And my response to his second DM was “Figured that was part of it – would love to tell u all why KC is a strong creative market if it’s in question. Mind if I share these DM’s?.”

A much-appreciated response

So I’m glad I have an update now; it’s still a bit odd that they’ve chosen not to simply post via @fordfiesta and let us all know these same things. Soon after Sam’s DMs, I also got a call from the agency partner to give me some more insight/details, which I won’t share here. This is the kind of response I expected from Ford from the beginning.

Thanks Sam…now choose Team KC and everything will be good!

Quite A Good Saturday

kylerohde — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:02:50 +0000

Yesterday was a busy day for me – I spent the morning at the Hilton Kansas City Airport for the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) MiDiv (Midwest Division) convention. My role at this event was to talk about regional web presence – how a region can communicate and promote itself to its members online, using low-cost or no-cost efforts. The presentation lasted for a full hour, and I didn’t know if all I had to say would take that long. Luckily, there were some great questions and discussions from the audience and it ended up being a lot of fun.

For those of you who were in that session, thank you for being a great audience. Here’s the presentation – please use it to help improve your region’s web presence and get in touch with me if you’d like, using any of the methods on the left, or email me at kyle@kylerohde.com.

Midway through the presentation, I was surprised by KC Region Board Member Donna Hill, who presented me with the KC Region’s New Member of the Year Award for 2009, which was a total surprise. Sadly, I missed the KC annual meeting, where I would have normally received it, because I was in Miami for work. But it was a great honor to receive and now I have a traveling trophy with my name engraved on it for the next year.

I was actually lucky enough to receive two awards yesterday – along with the KCRSCCA award, I later received the 2009 AAF-Kansas City ad2 Member of the Year award. More on that later…but here’s a photo of both trophies for now.

Too bad – hope Fine (KU grad) catches on somewhere soon! RT @Adam_Schefter: Bills released TE Derek Fine…and others. #
I bought Wonder Hangers at Westlake @AceHardware tonight, excited to get some room in the closet. Except I haven’t saved any space at all #
It seems like they should save room, but I haven’t gained a thing with having 4 of them (16 shirts) hanging up now. #
@wherewordsfail No! I did lots of purging when @chelseathebaker moved in – don’t wanna do more in reply to wherewordsfail #
@drinkarizona Favorite non-alcoholic drink is Arnold Palmer, but why is it so hard to find? Here in KC, only place I’ve found is Walgreens #
@schuttler They were $10 at Ace for an $8 pack – I guess I saved about 10″ or room with four of them – just thought I’d get more… in reply to schuttler #
@KyMiller1 Yep, Cal and his team are a classless bunch. And they’ll suck again next year w/o Patterson, Wall, Bledsoe and Cousins. in reply to KyMiller1 #
@ESPNAndyKatz Wish I was as confident in KU as you are – Jayhawks just play down to their competition too much, dangerous to do in March. in reply to ESPNAndyKatz #
