New "green" projects

The last few days at work have been really great. Glenn hasn't had much work for me, so he encouraged me to talk to other planning directors and find ways to help out. When I asked Jason what I could do to help out, I got assigned to two really great projects.

One of the projects was helping with brand manager training. He asked me to prepare and present a discovery deck for the spherical branding training session. Getting to train people after being here only six months was an honor in itself, but the brand made it even cooler. I'm not actually allowed to talk about it, so I'll just say that it's potential sub-brand for a huge company clients and that's it aligns perfectly with my interest in green (eco-friendly) business.

I'll be less involved in the other project, but I'm still really excited about it. We recently pitched and won the Current Energy business. Current Energy (if you haven't heard) is a new energy efficiency store on Knox Street near the Apple Store. It's got a really cool set-up (somewhat reminiscent of the Apple Store), and it's full of products that save energy including efficient lighting and water heaters, programmable thermostats, solar chargers... Since I've now prepared and presented discovery decks for two green brands, Jason asked me to help out with this one. While I won't be leading it up, I really like that I've reached a place where people are coming to me as the expert on green.

While it's not exactly a green brand, I've got another new client that's also pretty cool. I'll be working with Glenn on Sino Swearingen, a company that makes private jets.

I'm so glad the slow holiday period is finally over!
