Poster power in the 21C

May 28, 2008

Author Stew Fried­man had to drum up an audi­ence at Google HQ. Did he Twit­ter? A Face­book event, per­haps? Gmail? Nope.

So, in this defin­it­ively 21st cen­tury work envir­on­ment, how do you grab employ­ees’ atten­tion to entice them to attend a one-hour ses­sion with an author talk­ing about his new book? This was the chal­lenge for my hosts and, being cre­at­ive Goo­glers, they found a way that cut against the grain, and it worked.

They cre­ated small posters on paper and taped them on the glass door entrances to vir­tu­ally all of the build­ings on campus.
