Giving The Colonel His Due

Speaking of iconic, KFC is memorializing Harland Sanders in what Adfreak calls, “a sprawling multimedia extravaganza” on ColonelSanders.com.

The site features several quotes from The Colonel. Here’s one: “When I work, I forget my little aches and pains. When I’m really busy, I forget I ever had an ache.”

The site is also soliciting stories from the crowd. Here’s a story from Lorri Jewell: “I met the Colonel back in 1973. I was working in a cafeteria in Lauderhill, Fla. I was on the serving line and I asked him if he wanted some chicken, and he laughed and took the fish instead.”

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17 (she went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time). Today, I live near Portland, Oregon and spend my days building brands for companies that matter.
