In the Year of Our Lord Sixteen Hundred Twenty One, a humble group of English and Native Americans gave thanks for surviving the elements of the New World and for the bounty of the land. It was a simple gathering – no parades, no football, no flyers advertising extended store hours and sales. Most of us probably can’t begin to imagine what it was really like.

What was to evolve in this continent within two hundred years were amazing concepts of individual freedoms that we currently enjoy. The United States of America remains an amazing land, made up of people from all over the world, who come to pursue dreams of a better life. As Marketers, we should be grateful that we have the ability to use our creative power and minds to compete and build a better world.

The Marketing Consigliere would like to wish all of his fellow professionals Marketers a Happy Thanksgiving.

Freedom From Want

Norman Rockwell, Freedom From Want

Just a short note today – the Marketing Consigliere does not need to remind you to be thankful for the usual blessings in your life, but wants to make some out-of-the-ordinary thank yous:

Thank you to all the Marketers out there who are leveraging the power of Network Centric Marketing and doing their best to bring us the products and services we need;

Thank you to the men and women leaders in small business who are keeping the entrepreneurial spirit alive in the United States and throughout the world despite these uncertain times.

Thank you to the engineers and coders who are working hard to make technology benefit all of us;

Thank you to the businesses and consumers out there who are keeping an even keel and not panicking; and

Thank you to Norman Rockwell for creating such a powerful image that has become an American icon for all generations.
