Let’s face it: New York City knows how to do the holidays like no other city in the world.

Even before the first snowflakes fall, the city transforms into a magical winter wonderland. Skaters do figure-eights in Central Park, the Rockettes kick up their heels at Radio City Music Hall, Sugar Plum Fairies drift across the stage at Lincoln Center, and Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue fill their windows with the most stunningly colorful holiday window displays.

Today at the CMG conference our keynote speaker was Dorothy Kalins and her topic was: Falling in Love Again…An insider’s look at retro-trends: why we love what we loved before and what we’re likely to love again in the future With wit and humor Dorothy took us on the journey of the baby boomers and the many faces their collective persona has worn and how even now forty years later they are still in love with their childhood and the things that remind them of those days and experiences. I especially enjoyed her example of how the chocolate chip cookie regained popularity. She shared that as the boomers experiencd the stress of the working world they sought to find the same feeling of comfort they had experienced as a child.

Creating Meaningful Experiences Through a Love of Design and Color

Our keynote speaker at the CMG Conference today was Darrel Rhea and his topic was:

Share the Love: What Design & Conscious Color Mean for the Contemporary Global Marketplace

In a market economy characterized by commoditized products and global competition, how do companies gain deep and lasting loyalty from their customers?

The answer is by creating meaningful experiences through a love of design and color.

Darrel is a wonderful speaker and it was fun for all of us to hear about his experiences as a young designer who was himself a member of Color Marketing Group.

He shared how each of us could create meaning for ourselves and our clients. He really walks the talk because he connected his ideas to the audience in a way that was meaningful by being tailored to our group and by suggesting specific actions each of us could take to create value and meaning.

Darrell recommended keeping open to learning and new ideas…

Do the homework
