We’re Celebrating our 15th Anniversary Thanks to this Cerebral Dumbbell

Our Phoenix Ad Agency Turns 15-Years-Old Today!

You’d think on a hallmark day like today that I’d I have tons to write about. But I’ve got bupkis. I didn’t want to write the expected stuff that simply applauds our sustainability through feast and famine. I’m not even going to thank the people – far too many to account for here – who have helped Park&Co become the sustainable marketing firm it is today. I’ll do that in person.

Instead, I thought I’d give YOU something on our anniversary.

It’s my secret weapon for remaining sustainable in this evolutionary market.

It’s THE killer App for sustainability.

Have you ever played, “Risk”?

risk-1Risk is the Parker Brothers’ game of world domination. If you’re an entrepreneur with an iPhone, the game is like having a cerebral dumbbell in your pocket at all times. Risk exercises your strategic decision making muscles, while your subconscious runs an obstacle course around the market dynamics of war. These dynamics at first appear random, yet have very logical outcomes you learn to expect and exploit.

Am I just passing off a game addiction for a business building device? Perhaps. But if you haven’t played the game, check it out.

Risk is all about developing resources and strategically deploying them to expand your market domination. The endgame is to own the world. But be careful. If your greed and impatience has you growing too fast, you’ll get spread too thin, become vulnerable and die. Remain too conservative, and you’ll get dominated. Find the balance and thrive.

Sound like green marketing? Sustainability? The ad biz?

You bet it does. Survival of the fittest.

Just play Risk on your iPhone during all of your boring downtime, and you too will learn to rule the world. That’s all there is to it.

Plus, it sure beats the hell out of the game of “Life.”
