The Possimpible Promotion: Custom Buzzword Bingo

It was How I Met Your Mother's legen-wait for it-dary Barney Stinson that summed up corporate America with one of the funniest, yet truthful lines that I've ever heard:

Barney: That's what corporate America wants: people who seem like bold risk takers, but never actually do anything



In the episode The Possimpible, Barney encourages Robin to use her visitivity (a combination of vision and creativity) to get herself a job so that our favorite Canadian import won't be exported. In turn, she creates a video resume in which she creates her own buzzwords.

While Robin's buzzwords might not have reached the place where the possible and the impossible meet (the possimpible), the writers made a bold statement about buzzwords in today's corporate climate. After all, how many times have you heard words like ROI, Buzzworthy, Viral, Social Media, in meetings?

No, the Torke Boutique Agency really wants to know. That's why, when they needed a new self promo, they chose to create Buzzword Bingo boards. The boards were sent out to potential clients and had simple instructions: Mark off a box every time one of these words in used in your next agency meeting. Call us if you fill a line within the first five minutes or if you get a Bingo! by the end of the meeting.



That is some visitivity right there.
