Smart Marketing Almost Won Me $1 million

Smart Marketing Almost Won Me $1 million

Over the water cooler, a co-worker mentioned an interesting competition that she had heard about.  The award: one million dollars. It peaked my interest as I immediately saw an opportunity to apply my professional experience to the situation.

Makes me start scratching.

Makes me start scratching.

I (scritch) love this outdoor work (scritch, scratch). As a dog owner (scritch, scratch, scritch, scratch) I can relate. And as a Frontline user (schhhh, schhhh, schhhh, schhhhhh) I get a great sense of pride for taking action against people, er flea infestation.
