Explicitly and without apology a marketing vehicle MaryMaryQuiteContrary

Friday Feb 25, 2005



Pop quiz: How many degrees of separation between MaryMaryQuiteContrary (suburban wife, mother of three young children who masquerades as a marketing professional during working hours) and Bono (rock star, social activist, Nobel Peace Prize nominee)?

A: One

One love.

One life.

That's right, through an unbelievable set of circumstances I am business manager and project lead on this:

Sun Microsystems Teams With Bono to Fulfill His Wish for One Million Voices to Join the ONE Campaign

Lots and lots to tell you about. Details to come. Can't now because I got a hot potato to deal with on this whole thing.

Two big take-aways:

1. Dan Malks is the technical lead on this project. John Crupi is our executive technical sponsor. I think both these guys are going to start blogging soon. Gonzo was in on it from the beginning and he's already talking about it in his blog. I'm gonna tell you about what I'm doing on this project in mine. So you'll get the full skinny on all fronts.

2. Sun Microsystems ROCKS THE HOUSE!

p.s. Have you notice there's been this lingering smell of bacon in the air for the past few weeks or so? That's my rear end. It's been on fire since the day I got this assignment. It's totally out of control how busy I am. The up side is that a) I love my work; and b) I finally figured out a way to shrink my rear end without exercising.

How totally cool is that...it would be even more AWESOME if you got to meet Bono in person as the project lead for this one :) Can't wait to hear more about it from your blog!

That's fantastic! From everything of yours I've read, and from what others write about you, I'm sure you're the right person for this! Congratulations, and have lots of fun!
