The Sharpie permanent marker
was the first pen-style permanent
marker. Today it is the preferred
autograph marker of athletes,
celebrities, politicians and more.

allows users to write on virtually
any surface – from wood and
stone to plastic and metal and, of
course, paper.
Sharpies are sold in several tip

9. THE IDEA
We are encouraging a “Boss Off”. Yes, similar
to that of a dance off. Whether you love,
hate, loathe, or feel so‐so about your boss,
we are encouraging you to doodle a picture of
your boss with any type of Sharpie Marker,
and submit your picture to our gallery,
facebook page, twiWer page, or blog.
We will spread word of our contest with web‐
banners and tradiGonal adverGsing on
products bought in store.
Purpose: to direct more traffic to our “not so
out of the box” thinkers, creators, or writers.
We will track the success based on 2010 sales,
as well as increased number of fans and
followers.
