Cool News of the Year 2002:
Write-In Votes |
| Brand Touchpoints article by Scott Davis. I also REALLY liked the Staten Island "homemade bread" story that ran shortly before Thanksgiving. |
| It's funny...I look forward to Cool News each day but I don't have a standout story come to mind for 2002. Of those nominated I'd have to go with Alan George of P&G, BUT my favorite story appeared a few years back and did resurface this year under the Big Lights of Hollywood! My all time favorite Cool News story was that of the man who prevailed over AA Frequent Flier Miles promotion and bought up all the pudding he could and then donated it to charity for a write-off, CLASSIC! I turned many a biz colleague and friend onto Cool News when that story appeared. Adam Sandler's character in this year's movie "Punch Drunk Love" was the man that cracked that miles promotion...maybe if there's a sequel they'll show him get the write-off. Thanks for doing what you do...Happy 2003! |
