"Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. [Football] half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence." Erma Bombeck
Today is one of my favorite holidays... Thanksgiving! Not only is it historical (I dig history!), but it's also a time for great food, days spent with family and friends, and to reflect on what we are thankful for.


Me? This is my typical marketing nerdiness, but, I am thankful to be part of the MarketingProfs team as their community manager. It's great to be part of a company that has embraced the changes we are experiencing in the world of marketing. In doing so, we can lead by example and show other organizations that, while challenging, change can lead to great success. As a marketer, I can't think of anything better! (See, told you...nerdy!)
The team at MarketingProfs is also thankful for all of you! You may know only a few of us (Ann, Allen, Roy, Shelley, Val, Anne, Susanne, Kathy, Penny), but everyone here works really hard to provide you with the best marketing resources available. And when you take the time to leave your footprints behind in the form of comments, questions, interaction, debate and problem solving here at the Daily Fix, over at our KHE forum, in our resource area, during a seminar, at a conference, or over at Twitter, LinkedIn, or Facebook, you give all of us a chance to get to know the individual personalities that make MarketingProfs a special place to hang out.
We know there are a lot of places for you to get marketing information and yet you choose to carve (No pun intended. Really.) time out of your day to spend it with us. Thank you for being a part of our community!
Wishing you, your family and friends a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
Twelve minutes is up...back to that game.
