Hey folks,

Madison+Main got a lot of attention this week. I was on the local news Monday talking about the “best and worst” Super Bowl ads. Monday’s Richmond Times-Dispatch had an article in it where we announced three new clients (Madison+Main Hits a Triple) and we announced two new hires; Cassie and Madalyn. Our friends at Keith Fabry Reprographics installed a giant sign on the side of our building.

Perhaps, “This is a sign we should work together.”

Hey folks,

I have always been a very impatient person. Some see that as a character flaw, but I see it as a fundamental key to success. In other words, I don’t have time to wait. I like to get things done. Perhaps that’s why I like working with small to midsize companies, where you can talk to real people and not have to wait months to get feedback or a decision. We have been more “doing” than “waiting” this week at Madison+Main, and I am excited to share the news with you.

The thing I am most proud of? We successfully changed the music on our phone system and it now plays Mumford & Sons’ “I will wait, I will wait for you“. Yes, when you call Madison+Main at 804-521-4141 and we put you on hold you will hear “I will wait, I will wait for you”. #nopunintended

Hey folks,

Last week, I MC’d the Chesterfield Chamber Annual Gala… and the reviews are still pouring in. Most of those in attendance laughed at my jokes, but I heard a couple of local politicians were not amused by my witty barbs. #sorrysenator On Friday, I was introduced as “that guy” who wore a dress at the Chamber Gala and made everyone laugh. I’m okay with being “that guy”. Maybe it’s part of my personal brand. I’m loud. I joke around a lot and I get a lot of attention. I’m 47 and perhaps I’ve finally come to terms with it.

I am not, however “that guy” who takes off his clothes and jumps in the James River for a good cause, but I am “that guy” that helps to promote these events. Keep Virginia Beautiful will hold “Shiver in the River” on Saturday, January 31st. Drop by Historic Tredegar Ironworks, and take the plunge.

Hey folks,

Today’s Weekly Report comes to you from Derek Fair, a bright, young VCU Mass Comm graduate, who is interning at Madison+Main. Derek drew the short straw and had to type the copy while I slipped behind the wheel on a three-hour drive towards Winchester. I am spending the day with the leadership and marketing teams at First Bank, as we plan a lot of exciting things for 2015. Instead of wearing a suit, I decided to take full advantage of “Casual Friday.” Today, it’s jeans, penny loafers, and my Hugh Hefner Smoking Jacket.

Last night, at the Chesterfield Chamber Annual Gala, I was in a dress and a blonde wig. Keep reading… the report gets better.

Hey folks,

After a two week hiatus, the Weekly Report is back. I haven’t been “missing in action,” I’ve just been “fat and happy.” I guess that means my New Year’s resolution is to be “skinny and unhappy.” 2015 is here and there is a renewed sense of purpose in the air. It was tough to get back to work after the lay off, but I am thrilled to start wearing some of the cool clothes I got for Christmas… like 12 pairs of Tommy Hilfiger socks.

When I was a kid, I didn’t like getting socks for Christmas.

I am going to lose 10 pounds before next Thursday, so I can fit into my Zoot Suit style tuxedo. I am hosting the Chesterfield Chamber of Commerce Gala on January 15th and I can promise you there will be plenty of corny jokes and a few mildly inappropriate zingers. Registration closes today! Get your tickets now.
