Don't quit putting out your ideas Diane... we need to create awareness, and everything is open to consideration at this point. Wrist bands and ribbons have been done to death. If we do something we need to really be different and noticible. I've worked with lots of ad agencies in my lifetime. You sit down and brainstorm with 20 people and you come up with 50 ideas... most end up in the round file and are tossed. But eventually a brainstorm occurs (like the yellow wrist bands) and it's a killer idea. If you don't toss them out there, we will miss the one gem in the mix. If you don't want to float them in public, and suffer the ravages of everyone's opinion, send them to me by email. I am open to hearing it all. If I think it's been overdone or whatever, I'lll say so. But I can't dream up everything... there are lots of creative people out there.
