15 Memes of the Year Sales-Ready from 2024

Well, that was a year. So as a festive wrap, here's a handful of sales-adjacent memes. As appeared across my social feeds, message groups and even MSM. In keeping with such, the usual health warning applies. Handle with care when showing, forwarding or remixing in a professional solution sell context.

Good versus Bad Chart

I haven't sought out CNN in a long while. It's not that it's partial. It's that it so vehemently claims to be impartial. Yes there are loonies at the horseshoe fringes all gung-ho for their cheerleading saviours of choice. Yet I suspect the (silent) majority switch off from such flagrant

Pop Promo Handcam Meeting Visuals

Somehow an indie-ish music video entered my feeds. A track with initial promise, unfulfilled in delivery. Still, I watched the retro-style home video cassette vibe. Realising how ridiculously cheap it's thankfully become to make your own on a step to stardom. Even if only the payola might of the majors

Happy Birthday Winston

Not many people get to lead defeat of amassed oppressive murderous authoritarians. Winston Churchill one rare example. Who today would turn 150.

Which one hopes won't be decided in controversial, underhand, non-track manner of the last close contest. The era's leading team is being

Budget Burden Briefs

I read much of Britain recoiled in Halloween horrors after the first government budget of The Left for fourteen years. Or for those of a 'tax and spend' persuasion, very much more Treat than Trick. It's rare any budget receives warm welcome. This particular morning after giving rise not just

Players Purposeful Text Slide

Above I link to a press conference snap that certainly caught my eye this week. Remarkably, at this time I cannot find the same text repeated online. So here it is; "Leagues and players seek a fair and inclusive decision-making procedure to ensure the wellbeing of football players, viability of

Bankster Slidedeck Reality

There's a third season of Industry out. A TV drama-cum-exposé of merchant bank traders. Despite the littering of finance jargon, favourable reviews flow. What I enjoyed about the PR prior the latest series, were the pieces that seek to judge the veracity of the show. Is real-life corporate gambling banking
