Remember Milli Vanilli? This video should bring you up to speed… During their time, Milli Vanilli rocked! They sold millions of albums. They could dance. We thought they could sing. Many will recall the news that Milli Vanilli was a sham. They were lip synching. We were all fooled. They became a punchline. They went [...]
I’m going to have to pick on Stivers Ford during this post. I’ve been to their locations and have always been treated well and had a pleasant experience. Unfortunately for Stivers, that experience doesn’t translate in their marketing messaging. Worse yet, Stivers has so many messages in their marketing efforts it’s hard to know what the [...]
…that is the question. We create video content and have talked about the power of online video. Some video we create for us (Lessing-Flynn), some for our clients. We use flip cams for almost everything that highlights Lessing-Flynn on this blog, or capturing guerrilla marketing tactics for an event like DSM: SUSHIBOMB. We realize there [...]
When you live in the state of Iowa, more often than not, corn is mentioned in a conversation. Whether it’s farmers talking about the corn market, women at the grocery store comparing corn casserole recipes, people listening to the Heywood Banks I-80 Corn Song or tv commercials about cellulosic ethanol made from corn.

Even social media wonks have figured out [...]
Going to Des Moines’ sushi restaurants has become a frequent occurrence for many of us at Lessing-Flynn. We’ve turned non believers like Jess Held and sushi virgins like our former intern, Spencer Anderson into brand advocates of all things sushi. About six months ago, a few of us from Lessing-Flynn were having lunch at Sakari, a fairly new and [...]
We were excited when our friends at UNI’s MyEntre.Net, Iowa’s online community for Iowa entrepreneurs and small business, asked us to help design and launch a campaign to give away $1000 a month to an Iowa entrepreneur or small business owner to help grow their business in Iowa. The contest site can be found at [...]
“How would you like your steak cooked?” You’ve heard this question, right? Whether it’s at Django or at your friend’s back yard cook out. Your answer is unique. There are many choices on how you have your steak prepared. Raw, bloody as hell, seared, rare, medium rare, medium, medium well done, well done and overcooked. Consumers [...]
We went into the weekend with the outcome of the Elite 8 of Lessing-Flynn‘s Battle of the Brands unknown. Due to some over zealous bot dork, we found we were receiving up to 1,000 votes every five minutes. As much as we’d like to think that Battle of the Brands was that popular, we weren’t [...]
