Love, a-marketing style

The economy may be in the crapper and lots of marketing pros might be more than a bit uncertain about how 2009 will end, but - hey - at least Valentine's Day is right around the corner.  Stealing a couple of pages from the books of Gravel (ask a lot of questions) and Brogan (don't offer any answers), I thought it might be fun to think about what we love about our industry, our jobs, and the massive changes we're living and working through.

Here are five chances for you to declare your love for this crazy little thing called marketing.   So have at 'em -- and let's try to keep the responses Rated G. ;-)

1. Your Valentine Brand: what's the one brand you love more than any other -- and why?
2. Your Valentine Campaign: what's the one current marketing program that really does it for you?
3. Your Valentine Trend: what is the one marketing-related trend, tool or technology that gets you most excited?
4. Your Valentine 2.0: what's the one social media site you simply can't live without?
5. Your 9-to-5 Valentine: What's the one thing about your job that gets you going every morning?

(And I'll say it so you don't have to -- yes, with this post I have hit an all time low.  But I do look forward to hearing what all y'all have to say.)
