“A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages.” ~ Tennessee Williams

WELCOME TO WILDBREW 2012!!!

When you think of being wild, do you immediately think of crazy parties, or being the one who can outdrink everyone at the bars, or doing something off the wall like jumping off the roof with an umbrella, or cow tipping? Or is your definition more like running and yelling in the night full of feral laughter with your friends? Yes, you could say all that and think of many other things that would describe ‘Wild’, but is that more like crazy, and do we truly know what being wild means? I share a belief that being truly WILD is more about real adventure, whether in the world, or in your mind. A personal or professional step that unleashes the caged bird and teaches it how to fly free, or that free bird that is taught the limitless sky lies before it. Only the true adventurers believe that about themselves and can, by their own actions, shine a light for others to follow. The question is… Are you WILD enough?

There are so many ways you can take that for yourself personally, but let’s focus a minute on how you can take that Wild spirit of adventure, and turn it into something of real value in your challenges of business. I give you a great example of this straight from the pages of Wildbrew 2012 in Tulsa, OK! Those of you attending this year’s event, WELCOME!!! This event has been a labor of love for a number of years. From personal experience, it’s a wild adventure that embodies the best of Tulsa’s businesses, restaurants, entertainment, and the highlight of local, national and international beer brew houses coming together to support a worthwhile cause that benefits Avian conservation through The Sutton Research Center. It’s been an amazing event that embodies the best of all aspects of marketing and event planning. We applaud their adventurous and successful efforts year over year, that include the best of traditional marketing, and adapting to the ever changing marketplace, that now include all aspects of social and interpersonal cross media marketing. This comes from bright, creative, Wild thinkers and marketers who started with a simple thought, planned a modest event, that’s now something Tulsans look forward to as a premiere event of the year! If you haven’t moved toward this change in marketing automation strategy, you are already behind the curve.
