Wing-Enomics 101: #WingIt #MIMS

G/L's Wingy Wednesday LogoA select team of G/L’s wing enthusiasts have enrolled in an ambitious effort to catalog, categorize and rank the St. Louis area’s vast chicken wing offerings. It all began last October when wing savant, Adam Arriola, suggested a Hooters lunch hour run to amateur drummy junky, Lucas Pierson. Some coworker wing-heads happened to overhear their battered and dipped banter, and it wasn’t long before an entire wrecking crew of Frank’s-fiending-creatives was formed. From that day forward, Wednesday at Geile/Leon was no longer just another day…it was forever transformed to “Wingy Wingy Wednesday” — a weekly ritual lunch review (a.k.a. W3). The goal? Exploring, analyzing and testing some of St. Louis’ most popular (and not-so-popular) restaurants that offer wings on their menu.

When Time is On Your Side, It Matters

I think it’s a safe bet that we’re the agency that can say, “we’ve got it covered.” We have a strong grasp on what needs to happen to get the job done, and I’m confident we do it well—we make it mean something along the way. But making it mean something for our clients is only part of the mission. In some cases, it’s just as important that it means something to us—individually and as an agency.

The Adventures of KL

You don’t have to spend much time around the G/L office to realize that Kathy “KL” Leonard is one of the most colorful characters here. Our VP of Public Relations is known for her peppy attitude and borderline obsession with the game of golf. “If it is above 50 and dry, I am probably on the golf course – both days of the weekend.” We are used to hearing about her awesome golf weekends and vacations – she is one of the few people that we know who has played Pebble Beach in California not once, but twice.

5 Tips for Prioritizing Marketing Goals When Everything’s a Priority

5 Tips for Prioritizing Marketing Goals When Everything’s a Priority

It’s that time of year — allocating marketing dollars and planning for 2013 begins, along with reflecting on the year that’s passed. What worked? What didn’t? What do we want to accomplish next year? Were my marketing dollars maximized? Did I reach who I needed to?

Answering these questions and drafting long- and short-term marketing goals for the upcoming year can be a daunting task. Frivolous spending is a thing of the past—you have a budget to stick to and measurable objectives that you want to reach. But, there are so many things that need to be accomplished. In addition, there may be input from other coworkers about what’s important and what’s not. So, what do you do? How do you sift through the marketing goals and establish what is a priority when everything seems to be a priority?

Gratitude: How do we make that mean something at Geile/Leon?

Gratitude: How do we make that mean something at Geile/Leon?

With Thanksgiving around the corner, we wanted to take the time to reflect our gratitude here at G/L. Throughout the agency, our G/Lers work to “make it mean something.” Client-work, personal life and the things that happen on a daily basis are all driven by our common cultural theme. That being said, we act this way because we believe in what we do, we believe in who we work for and, most importantly, we believe in the work we produce. But, none of this would be possible if it weren’t for a select few, and we’d like to give thanks.

Social E-Commerce: The Wave of the Future or The Ultimate Cop-out?

Social E-Commerce: The Wave of the Future or The Ultimate Cop-out?

We’ve come a long way in a short time since the “birth” of the Internet. House hunters can view satellite images of hopeful homesteads while on the go, long lost friendships can reconnect with a single tap from their phone, and almost all of anyone’s shopping needs can be satisfied without even stepping into an actual store. So, it only makes sense that Facebook would take all of these capabilities and roll them into one with their latest feature: Facebook Gifts.    (more…)
