CMO TOP 10 Announced

[AnnDisneyFan]

Thanks Ann. I didn't really mean that to be a criticism of anybody in the Top 10. I just really hope that everyone is doing everything they can to get votes for themselves and to promote the sponsors.

Selfishly, I want there to be a bigger, better contest next time. In my opinion this year's prize is a step up from last year's (although I think last year's was HUGE). If it gets better than this? I honestly can't imagine it.

You are welcome!!!

And I also hope my post didn't come off as criticism, really just concern...for the Dream CMO site, the promotion and the process as a whole.

I just keep thinking that although we are heavily involved in this job opportunity, CB and Disney could be reaching so many more people and generating excitement for what is to come!

Just testing to see if my new signature works. Disregard...no funny here!

Are you writing a Disney ABC Book? That sounds like a great idea! I'd buy it for my 4 year old.

Sorry, not a book -- but I am doing a Disney ABC scrapbook or activity book to keep my 2.5 year old daughter occupied on the plane, help learn her ABCs and familiarize her with Disney.

I did one last year that had puzzles, memory cards, lift the flaps and touch and feels for her (not ABC one though) and it was a big hit!

Feel free to check out my Sept TR link below to see pictures...they are near the beginning.

I expected Disney and CB to do more promoting on the web, emails, etc to make this contest a bigger deal. I know the whole CMO thing is big and of interest to me but there is no one outside of you guys who knew about the contest or frankly even care.

I tried to encourage some friends to view the videos or vote and their response: I'm too busy for that.

After feeling guilty for all the time I'm on it, I then promptly went and watched American Idol tonight-- hey, it's not the internet!!

(Actually, I was watching AI with my family, laughing and judging the singers...so it really was family time, right?? )

Hey my DIS friends -- you can pat yourselves on the back for keeping the CMO contest alive! Without us, there would be practically zippo!

So surely the sponsors should be taking note of this and planning something really special to send us all non-Top 10 winners in the mail! Hmmm....pins, jacket, mickey ears, tickets!!

Eric updated his blog again....just thought you might get a kick out of this little snip it. (The 5 Stages of Grief)

BARGAINING: Ok... here is my bargain. Careerbuilder and Disney want to promote this contest to the best of their ability... right? As I write this, there are 10 days left to vote. So... how about an 11th finialist? If I could get as many votes as the Top 3 in less than half the time, wouldn’t I be worthy of being in the Top 3? Or.. here’s more of a bargain... I’ll pay my own way to the Top 3 competition, if you’ll make it a Top 4 competition (if I can get enough votes in half the time). That way the Top 10 arent’ jipped out. (but let’s face it... if I can get more votes than the #3 person in less than half the time, could they really claim to be jipped?) How about it CB and Disney? Now THAT is bargaining!

Hmmmmm, I can't even begin to imagine whom you have in mind!!

There were a couple of press releases last year, but that's about all there was outside of PR trying to help each person locally. Most of the traffic was driven by the contestants I believe.
