Website of the day: Shoptimism

Lee Eisenberg is a new MAMUS friend - and has serious credential. The former Editor-in-Chief of Esquire, and former CD at Land's End - Lee's lucid commentary on the shopping experience and what makes us "buy" is eye opening. As a long time creative on the agency (and client) side, I appreciate the close to the ground perspective. It bridges the chasm between lofty "strategic platform" and very base, instinctual marketplace realities.

Here at MAMUS, we are very concerned with both - building great brands and getting people to buy shit. Remember, that's why we do what we do. (The funny thing is - most creatives don't remember this.)

Forget at your peril.

Lee's new book will be out soon. In the meantime, check his site.
