Bailout – Yes or No?
I have found the controversy over this topic extremely interesting and for the sake of this blog, I am going to hop on my soapbox and share my opinion.
(As reported by CNN)
First off, Chrysler…really? “We need money so that we can stabilize our company and eventually join an alliance with one of the foreign auto makers.”
Just so I am clear, you want more American tax dollars so that you can make your company look more appealing to a foreign buyer. Ok, I’m not completely following but, ok.
Next – GM, who is looking at many ways to lighten the company’s heavy debt and sell or consolidate a number of their brands. Sell a few now, maybe a few more down the road. Is it the beginning of the end for GM?
Finally – Ford, the one of the three that I feel proposed the best approach to digging themselves out of the hole. “We are accelerating the development of hybrid and electric cars to compete stronger with other brands.” They also have proposed large pay cuts of at the executive level. But is it good enough for nine billion of the taxpayer’s dollars.
I have a hard time with this for one big reason: We live in a capitalistic economy where you have the freedom to succeed and profit from your hard work and good decisions, but you also have the freedom to fail. There is that risk, your actions today will effect tomorrow. These companies are witnessing this first hand. This storm started brewing long before the decisions made in 2008.
Don’t get me wrong, I am fully aware of the consequences of letting companies like GM and Ford fall, there is a good chance that if they fail, it will cost our economy much more than what the loan is for.
I like to look at business much like a house. For example, when you begin to realize that the ceiling is sagging and the walls are cracking, it’s time to make a change – it’s time to fix. You get a loan. You fix patch the wall and lift the ceiling. You’re good to go…right?
NOPE!
You never really fixed the problem. You merely masked it. The problem wasn’t in the walls, or the ceiling – it’s the foundation. So, now, all of the money that you spent to temporarily fix your house didn’t really fix anything, it’s a patch job. Not only are you going to have to fix it again later, there is a good chance it will cost more the next time.
My point…
…sometimes you’re better off letting the house fall, starting from scratch, pouring a new foundation and building a stronger, more stable house.

Gen X vs. Gen Y
Currently, X does come before Y. But, what if we there were a new, more trendy alphabet? Stick that thought in your think bank and ponder it for a minute...or two.
Is it true? Are we; the young and the restless, the social networking addicts, the iPod worshiping Millennials, truly beginning to take over advertising?
OMG! It looks like it.
I was born in 1985. I cannot recall many dramatic, historic National events, nor did I have the opportunity to rock fanny-packs and ridiculously colored pants – I am 23 years old. To most, I am thought of as young and inexperienced. To me, however, I am skilled, knowledgeable and prepared.
I recently read an article titled, "War of the Ages,” in the August Issue of ADWEEK. The article focused around the generational change in advertising and marketing. More so, how Millennials are pushing (shoving) Baby Boomers out of their way and relentlessly dashing to the top of the advertising mountain. For years, Boomers have controlled and managed the industry. However, as the media world and considerable consumer society is changing due to the drastic technological transformation, many are beginning to feel the youthful push (punch).
Hold on – I am not saying that Boomers are not in tune with new technology or our Generational trends. Sure, they can text message, create Facebook accounts and party like it’s 2008. But, does this mean Gen X-ers are hoping on board? Maybe, maybe not. The fact is that as Millennials, we are impatient and will stop at nothing to get what we want. Even if that means taking over a business industry.
One thing I want to note that is I DO NOT believe that you must be hip to produce killer creative. I DO believe that in order to connect with specific niche audiences, you must be in-tune with their verbiage, trends and overall mannerisms. Does being hip help – sure, but only if your audience is.
Despite what some think, Generation Y is not all about text messaging, social networking or rocking sweet gear and accessories. We’re about understanding how people are starting to receive messages through new mediums. We’re about relating to the changing phenomena of interactive and digital work. We're about using our innovative strengths to achieve measurable goals. We are not smarter or necessarily more trendy, but we do have certain skills that can help clients move their needle.
Maybe we are hybrid thinkers and maybe we are just hybrids. Either way, we get it.

The Reality of Advertising
It wasn’t that I didn’t realize it was the week of October 20th, I think it was the shock that in a recent communication with a valued HMA client, we both realized - WOW there is only 10 weeks left in 2008. Yeah, that’s right, only 10 weeks to bring the year in, and get ready to roll out plans for 2009. 2009?! I just got used to writing 2008.
The reality is most of us have a whole lot on our mind. From the market, to the election, to the credit crunch, to the whole idea that if you pay too much attention to the national media you may want to skip Vegas because if you’re a business owner/CEO you are already going to have your fair share of gambling thrills in 09.
So what is the reality? It’s tough, but so what. The majority of our clients fall into the $2 million to $20 million range. Some are smaller, some a larger, but that’s pretty much the spot HMA plays at. Most are privately held firms, that have won, or are winning, the battle because they have great people, have had a consistent and well crafted marketing and advertising message over the years, and give exceptional service to their own customers. Plus, many of them are innovative and entrepreneurial. Which means, quite honestly, the have a crisis to perform and expect the same from vendors. I love it.
The reality is when times are good you should advertise, when times are bad you MUST advertise. The fact is, that companies that maintain or increase their advertising spending during a recession get ahead.
Here’s an excerpt from the Wall Street Journal:
Studies by the American Business Press examined the relationship between advertising and sales in 143 companies during a sever downturn. They found that companies that did not cut advertising had the highest growth in sales and net income during the two study years and the following two years. The studies also proved that companies that cut advertising during both years had the lowest sales and net income increases during the two study years and the following two years. And, not surprisingly; companies that cut advertising during only one of the recession years had sales and net income that fell in between
A study by McGrall-Hill of the 1974-1975 and 1981-1982 recessions confirmed the long-range advantage of keeping a strong advertising presence. It found that companies that cut advertising in 1981-1982 increased sales by 19% between 1980 and 1985, while companies that continued to advertise in 1981-1982 enjoyed a 275% sales increase. The results of the studies are consistent, clear and unequivocal: Those companies that advertise during a recession have better sales than those companies that don’t.
The reality, and it probably hurts a little, is the way to minimize a downturn and take maximum advantage of the upturn is to maintain a strong communications link with your customers and the buying public. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.

Ulnar Nerve Relocation Surgery
Last fall I lost a considerable amount of muscle in my right hand, and my pinky and ring finger were "clawing". Evidently my Ulnar nerve was getting pinched/damaged. The ulnar nerve is one of the most exposed nerves on the human body and is also called the "funny bone" because it is located on the elbow. My Orthopedic surgeon moved my ulnar nerve above my elbow so it would not be stressed, and it would be less prone to injury, and heal. How does this even happen? I hear you cry? many things could have provoked it, overuse, sudden trama, constantly having arms bent(using a computer) lots of stuff. It is projected to take about 2 years until I see full results given that the nerve heals at a wopping 1mm a day!

The Geeky Side of the Moon
Hey gang this is Andy Jorde, or AJ as I’ve become know around the agency. I’ve been trying to figure out some sort of way to express how big of a geek I am. Rather than doing something lengthy and boring I figured I’d do something that pretty much everyone can benefit from. Most people nowadays have an iPod, and if you don’t, you’re probably envious of your buddy sporting the “mug me white “ headphones that come with every pod. And you probably saw that person watching The Sopranos or The Office on their iPod, and you were like,” Wow! How can they watch that on their iPod?” Chances are they probably bought it off the iTunes Music store for a couple of dollars. Now I know what you’re going to say, “But I don’t want to spend money, I already have The Office on DVD, and I want to put that on my iPod. How can I do it?” The answer is simple. Handbrake. Handbrake is a free application, that’s right FREE and it rips videos off of DVD’s and compresses them to many formats. After you download, install, and open the application, select the iPod option for compression and you should be good to go. After it is done making the movie, drag and drop the video file into iTunes. Sync you iPod to you computer and you’re done. This is a great Application because it is free, available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, and it converts video unbelievably fast. Hooray! Now you can workout, take a plane ride, or go on a business trip with the DVDs of you choice on you iPod.

market share vs. the economy
"Growing market share in a declining or stagnant industry"
We are all aware of the economic situation around us. Regardless the strength of your industry, whether it's the increase in gas or raising supply prices, chances are your business has been affected by the economy. Many times when a business chooses to "go lean" and combat rising costs, the first cut is marketing and advertising expenditures.
While this is a fairly common trend and does make in immediate impact on the bottom line, the extended effect does more harm than good. This is an opportunity for you and your business to be proactive and grow your market share.
Cutting back on your spending is only a temporary solution with long term consequences. It's simple: The less you are in front of your current and potential customers, the less they think of you, and eventually...the less they visit you. While your competition backs off on the gas, this is the perfect time for you to ramp up your advertising and gain more precious "mental mind space" of consumers.
Downturns in the economy tend to be cyclical. By the time things return to normal, you will have grown your market share more than any sale or event could have returned.

Is bigger really better?
"The case for the small agency"
Goliath vs David. Patriots vs Giants. Chiefs vs Aces. Large ad agencies vs. small ad agencies...
Many times in life (sports, war, etc.) there appears to be a sizable advantage, favoring one party over another. The same goes for advertising. The seemingly unexhaustible resources of large agencies make them more appealing to many potential clients. But is bigger really better? Does choosing a large agency give a company a better chance of success?
I say no.
After reading our latest book "One great insight..." by Advertising Hall-of-Famer Phil Dusenberry, we learned that insights can come from anyone at any time. You don't need to bill in the billions or even millions, in order to uncover an insight and move the sales needle for a client.
Although agencies of all sizes often face the same challenges (i.e. customer retention, the economy, ever-changing marketplace), small agencies can offer many of the following advantages:
- One-on-one attention
- Quickly moving projects
- More imagination in stretching the budget for the greatest results
- More agility on a project, campaign, and agency level
- More input on each project from ownership or senior management
- More focus on growing business and profitability - not agency politics
Although Harvest Moon Advertising may not have the billings of, or the internationally known reel of a large agency such as Fallon, BBDO, or J Walter Thompson - I do believe we are just as, if not more equipped to grow our client's business by following our staples of "No Surprises" and "We Grow Business."
If you are a Harvest Moon team member - you've already had the kool-aid and know what I'm talking about. If you are a client, I hope you agree, and would love for you to post your own thoughts. However, if you are looking for agency representation, assistance on a new project, or even a fresh way of thinking - please give us a call at (608) 784-2356. We would love to meet to learn more about you and your business, as well as share a little of the Harvest Moon Advertising "story."

Press Play: The Pursuit of Knowledge
What makes a great surgeon? “There isn’t much to choose between surgeons in manual dexterity. What distinguishes the great surgeon is that he knows more than the other surgeons. It is the same with advertising agents. The good ones know more.”-Sir Hugh Rigby
Harvest Moon Advertising challenges their team members to become educated on skills both specific to their craft and to their personal interest. As a designer there are always new and cutting edge designs affecting the mainstream, often times more frequent than a Matchbook 20 song. Being a representative of the Creative Department, I have had the freedom to explore new forms of communication. In this new age world of design where black rimmed glasses, and a pair of tight jeans lends you creditability, I feel that if you’re really trendy, the “graphic” in designer can be omitted and one can just be referred to as a “designer” or “creative cool dude”. Why? Design software isn’t print media specific anymore. Most suites come with various forms of communication, such as web, animation, and even video editing, in addition to the printed “graphic” software’s. I think it is the responsibility of the Creative department to explore all assets of these mediums and to work toward finding the correct fit for our clients. As you may have seen, Harvest Moon does all of those things! Hooray!
There are not many places in the area that have access to produce Television. We can do anything from using a handheld camera, all the way to shooting high definition with proper lighting to make you feel like you’re on the set of America’s Next Top Model. We are constantly exploring new ways of expression for our clients on all mediums. You could think of us as the more educated surgeons in the first paragraph, but I would say that we’re more like Bad Boy Entertainment on account of “we can’t stop” and more importantly “won’t stop” So if you’ve got some questions on how we can communicate for you, give us a ring or email, and let’s make things happen.

Smart Town Cards
On my birthday I decided to grab a sandwich at my favorite sub shop, Jimmy Johns. Upon arrival, the manager asked me if I had registered my "Smartown Card” yet. I replied,” no" and he suggested registering soon because they were giving away a $100 credit for one lucky winner as part of downtown Winona’s,"Crazy Days". I registered online, and learned that the Smartown Card is a very groovy concept. You simply swipe your card at your favorite businesses that honor the card with your purchase and a % of that purchase goes back onto you Smartcard, and a % goes to the non-profit organization of your choice. Good stuff. Anyways I got a call last week, saying that I had won, and that they wanted my picture for the Winona Daily News. I went to Jimmy Johns and this big check was waiting in the entryway for me. I loved it, who doesn’t want free money? Now I can use this credit for anything from sandwiches, to bikes, to beer, to gas. Many businesses in Winona have the cards at their counter and they’re free so just ask whoever is working for one. I know for a fact that Jimmy Johns has them, Sooo…start swiping if you haven’t already. I think as of right now the Smartown Card is only in Minnesota, but hopefully it’ll come to Wisconsin. When selecting your nonprofit organization, I would suggest the Winona Humane Society because they have so many nice kitties! For more info check out, http://www.smarttownalliance.com/

Can we push a car?
What is Danny talking about now? Of course we cannot push cars. Well, maybe Andy J., as his arms can with out a doubt, be compared to those of the the Hulk, Bruce Willis (in Die Hard 1,2, 3 - but not 4) and Mr. T. Rather, what I am really talking about comes from Chapter 7 of 'The Wizard of Ads.'
In this chapter the author compares pushing a car to launching a new ad campaign. It takes work, effort and time. However, the instant you begin to feel any kind of momentum, the car takes off cruising down the road and the client, begins to hear the phone ring. Start-up campaigns take work - a lot of it. Solid strategy, intuitive creative and thoughtful research come with a price. The price of momentum. There is no looking back when you begin to push that car. Quitting mid-way is not an option - staying the course and trusting your strength of strategy, creative and research will hopefully, result in success.
I thought this was an interesting read, especially as we begin to push a few cars this quarter.

PC/Window XP/Vista/Internet Explorer…. User
Greetings All!
Much like Daren’s Dance Groves, I will break this down so you don’t have to. In order to view our amazing media such as videos, and radio spots, all you have to do is install QuickTime (a free and awesome Application/Internet Plug-in for your web browser). If you’re going through our work and there is a black box prompting you to install QuickTime, (for example: if you’re looking through Merchants Bank) simply click that link in the black box and it will take you to the Apple website. Click free download and run the install. Quit Internet Explorer after the install, and re-launch our site. Everything should work smoothly.
If you don’t see the flash animation on the homepage of our site, it will prompt you to install it. That process is rather instantaneous. Again this is free, and as cool as Fonzie's motorcycle jacket.
Apple users? If you’re as proud of your machine as I am, you probably already know that you don’t need to do any of this stuff. Simply run Safari, or whatever web browser you love, grab the popcorn, and enjoy.
Because we’re all about that business Patna…or more so, growing your business, feel free to shoot me an email andyj@harvestmoonads.com, if you have any additional questions.
Cheers troops, stay frosty,
Andy Jorde

Who are you?
Hello and good morning to everyone! It appears I am a late in arriving to the HMA blog scene. I think this has the opportunity to be a great creative outlet for thoughts, ideas, and general "adspeak."
For my first post, I have attached a link to an article found on Adage.com's "Small Agency Diary" section. I've found the Small Agency Diary to be a great resource for a variety of topics covering life at a small shop like ours. This article written by constant contributor and agency owner Bart Cleveland addresses new business development and projecting your brand.
This article brings up an interesting question. Is the question of "who are you (as an agency)?" defined by the agency itself, or is it defined by the thoughts, impressions, and experience that your clients have of (and with) you?
I believe we all strive for the client experience and our agency personality to be one the same. If what your clients interpret (or experience) from working with you is different than your impressions of your own agency's "culture" then there is a disconnect that needs to be addressed.
So take a minute, step back, and ask yourself...Who is Harvest Moon Advertising? What would you answer? If we asked our clients...would they come up with the same responses? Would the responses differ from client to client? If so, are we letting our "true north's" of No Surprises and We Grow Business shine through and govern our thought processes and decision making for each and every client project?
http://adage.com/smallagency/post?article_id=127029
Please enjoy. Don't hesitate to leave your thoughts or even answer the open ended questions scattered throughout the post.

Dog Humor
I've been on this dumb humor kick that can only be explained as “Dog Humor”. It seems to work best when texting, emailing, or instant messaging. If you want to incorporate dog humor into your everyday "text" related messages, do the following. Start with "arf". For example you can send your girlfriend a message that reads, "what Arf you doing today?" She may think it is a slip up, but other dog humor enthusiasts will notice it. Start with that for several messages. Maybe later on send her an instant message, like “arf you excited to work today?”
I think the next step is to incorporate the word “woof.” So you can say to your brother,” woof you like to come over and watch “A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila?”
Eventually it can get bad, and maybe even stupid, but it’s still fun because the people who have become hip to Dog Humor, dislike it even more.
In my prime, I tried to incorporate as much dog humor as I could in phrase such as…. “ What’s wagging? Arf you up? Howls it going? Arf their kids playing at the bark? Woof you like to go out to eat? Yelp! Sara, that is correct
Cheers, and Miles of Smiles
