Prospective Panelist,
As Mullen Pittsburgh meets with current and prospective clients brainstorming ideas and coming up with creative concepts, we are constantly asking the question –how does this resonate with consumers? This is where we need your help. We created a Friends and Family Panel to help us gain consumer insights. The Friends and Family Panel is simply asked to complete one survey per month. Each survey will differ, touching on various topics from your travel habits to your opinion about specific brands and will take less than 15 minutes of your time. In return for helping us, we will enter you in a sweepstakes each time you complete a survey to win a gift card from a popular retailer, limit one per month.
If you are interested in this opportunity to earn rewards for merely telling us your opinion, please sign up for the introductory survey http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB2298AFKBRLP. Once you complete this survey, we will have your email address on file for each survey. If you have someone in mind that would also like to participate, please feel free to forward this email.

We appreciate your involvement.

Best regards,

Vincent Robleto

Car Free Fridays

Did you notice less traffic in the Burgh today? Cleaner air? Today Car Free Fridays launched, a city-wide initiative to get people to go carless on Fridays.  

The idea was a collaborative effort of BikePGH and Mullen, PAT, Whole Foods, The Sprout Fund, REI, et al to get people thinking about using alternative transportation on Fridays throughout the year.

There are so many good reasons for this initiative I decided to participate. Especially after my failed attempt to help out in the Pound for Pound Challenge. (I pledged to lose 15 pounds, so needy families would get 15 pounds of groceries. I think I gained 10 pounds. So I stole 10 pounds of food from a poor family. I didn’t want to, but a deals a deal.)

I hadn’t been on a bike in a few years after an ignominious crash that broke my collarbone and headset. But you know what they say, it’s just like…

I rode my bike to the kick-off event at Schenley Plaza, enjoyed refreshments and inspiring speeches from event coordinators. Turnout was strong and spirits were high. You just don't get this feeling of community on the parkway. REI was on the scene helping with minor repairs and a friendly fellow helped me out with a gear adjustment.

I made it in to work, with a little huffing and puffing, about a 10 mile trip. But instead of feeling tired or worn out, I feel completely energized. And enthusiastically looking forward to the ride home.

A Deep Thought

The wise man can pick up a grain of sand and envision a whole universe. But the stupid man will just lay down on some seaweed and roll around in it until he's completely draped in it. Then he'll stand up and go hey, I'm Vine Man.

Pound for Pound Challenge

In response to public demand for less Kerblotto, I've agreed to lose 15 lbs to help feed the poor.



The Pound for Pound Challenge is tied in with the new season of Biggest Loser. General Mills has agreed to donate 10 cents to Feeding America for every pound lost - enough to provide one pound of groceries to a local food bank. Over 500,000 pounds have been pledged to date.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Cheery Kwanzaa, Enjoy your Atheism, Happy Holidays!

It's a baby on a man's lap. What did you see, Schmutzli?
