This document summarizes an unconventional marketing campaign by H&R Block to increase brand engagement among young adults before tax day. The campaign centered around creating a fictional organization called the American Mustache Institute that advocated for tax deductions for mustache grooming. This silly narrative was spread through online media and social networks. Traditional media then validated the story, increasing its visibility. The campaign saw over 255 million media impressions and a significant boost in H&R Block's brand perception and number of tax returns processed compared to previous years. It demonstrated how creative, humorous content can break through clutter when distributed effectively across channels.

Millennials are now the largest demographic segment in America, surpassing the historically important Baby Boomers and the previous generation, Gen X.
Established brands and marketers have struggled to adjust to ‘millennial marketing’ because the typical approach that worked on older generation isn’t working anymore.

Many US citizens have come to realize that voting is not the most effective tool for enacting political change and are in search of more effective and impactful political action.

How Charity Fundraisers Can Empower Us to Rebuild Puerto Rico and Our EmpathyJake Croman
The hardships life throws our way are often unfair, if not traumatic. But what’s truly unfair is having the ability to help those in need and not take the action to assist.

Storytelling - Pirate Skills - Ben SufianiPirate Skills
Once upon a time .. I noticed that no matter how awesome my analytics and campaign setup was .. if the content sucked I could wait for conversions as long as I wanted .. nothing happened. For example, I used to think that with Facebook it's 80% about the targeting and 20% about the actual content of the posts that I promoted. Boy, was I wrong!
Well, it's still true if you have an awful targeting setup, but that's not the case for most of us (at least not for the people who regularly attend the Pirate Skills events ;)). After you have the essentials down, it becomes more and more about the WHY, HOW and WHAT you are saying to your (potential) customers.
That's why storytelling has proven to be one of our best engines of growth. And that's why this time we have partnered up with an amazing storyteller, Suryanshu Rai (https://www.linkedin.com/in/suryanshucg/) founder of the visual effects and motion graphics company Black and Code (http://www.blackandcode.com/). He'll share with us his own framework, which he calls the "Emotion Engine" and teaches us the basics of visual storytelling.
We will also introduce our favorite storytelling framework from Donald Miller book "Building a Story Brand". It helps us every day to clarify our message so that people will actually listen (and convert). We will share his 7 elements of great storytelling to grow your business.
After this meetup, you will never wonder again "What should I be posting today on Facebook, Twitter, Emails, ..???". You'll be full of impactful stories to tell and share, which will touch your audience and make them act.
Cheers,
Ben

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

2. @AaronPerlut
Started in TV 20 years ago.
Consume irresponsible volumes of bacon.
Self loathing “PR guy.”
Recognized facial hair culture expert.
Write for Forbes and ESPN.com.
Periodically smell terrific.
Currently manage comms in odd mix of spaces:
cable/internet/phone, financial svcs, solar, taxes,
NFL, men’s grooming, big data technology.
Dress like a Panda once weekly.
4. CHAIN OF EVENTS
Technology drastically alters media
consumption habits.
Consumers more interested in seeing
what their friends are posting.
Craigslist kills newspaper revenue,
online ad buys and digital marketing
spends sap broadcast revenue.
With a smaller audience and less
revenue, traditional media begins to
shrink.
11. AMERICAN UGLINESS
In the 1960s, the U.S.
government tired of hearing
citizens abroad referred to
as “Ugly Americans” and
engaged the American
Mustache Institute to
improve good looks -- thus
reversing a harmful trend.
12. UPHOLDING THE PROMISE
• AMI improved American good looks
by 38 percent according to AMI’s
nuclear mustacheology dept.
• In the 1970s, all men had three
things – perm, turtleneck, mustache
• But those good looks came at a
price.
13. THE STACHE ACT
Groundbreaking white paper from tax
policy professor Dr. John Yeutter of
Northeastern State University.
Outlined an equitable tax path toward
economic reciprocation — rewarding
people who aid American good looks
and the economy by embracing facial
hair.
Seeks annual $250 deduction for
expenditures on mustache grooming
supplies in determination of Adjusted
Gross Income.
20. WHY IT WORKED
Ridiculous…..but not.
Charitable.
Funny.
Perplexing.
Different.
Improved good looks by 38 percent.
21. WHY BLOCK DID IT
Perceived as a stodgy, older brand.
Little recognition amongst 21-35-year-
olds.
Connect with the demographic on
their turf, in their tone.
Improve overall brand perception.
Creative push though tax season.
Improve good looks by 38 percent.
22. WHY BLOCK DID IT
100,000 monthly unique visitors to
AmericanMustacheInstitute.org.
Content focuses on humor-based
facial hair advocacy.
85 percent of site traffic is male 21-
35.
Heavily engaged and mobilized
social media fans.
More than 1 billion media
impressions over a four-year span.
24. OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE
• Forbes: “Since the endorsement announcement in mid-
February, along with the supported cause, Buzz for the
brand among young and middle-aged adults has
increased. Among adults 18-49, H&R Block’s Buzz score
has jumped from 6 to 20 by the end of February.”
• Ragan’s PR Daily: “This campaign uses Facebook and
word of mouth marketing in some interesting ways, but its
genius lies in its insight into its audience's behavior.”
• Jason Falls: “It is, quite frankly, a milestone in content
marketing. A big, successful corporation is breaking the
mold of its own, traditional voice and showing a ton of
personality.”
25. SURFACE RESULTS
255 MILLION media impressions.
91 major national media
placements.
50,000 visits to the Facebook
application.
157,000 separate points of
engagement
Good looks all around.
27. Turbotax parent co. Intuit had its share
price downgraded by analysts due to
increased marketing efforts by
competitors including H&R Block.
28. H&R Block processed more tax returns
than anytime in its history, a 4.5
percent sales increase from 2011.
29. MY WORTHLESS OPINION
Block and tackle PR tactics don’t cut it today.
Relationships remain invaluable.
Creative thinking and humor can go a long way
if used appropriately.
Triangulate – build first in digital, validate in.
Draw direct line between marketing and
business results.
