General Mills 150/ Betty Crocker on CBS Sunday Morning

Check out this CBS Sunday Morning story on General Mills turning 150.

Nice little tribute to Betty Crocker. (Tom only got one fact wrong - guess they should have interviewed me again if they wanted accuracy about Betty's history!)

Happy Vintage Easter

 It's that time of year again! A little vintage Easter joy for your viewing pleasure. I hope your Lamby cake turns out this year.

Poor poor Betty Crocker

Things have gotten so bad for Betty Crocker that she made the front page of the local newspaper for failing. That's got to be a first for one of the most powerful brands in the world.

General Mills just can't figure out how to get America baking again. Too bad they don't ask me because I wrote the book on her.

Here's a hint Betty Crocker's people, go deeper and get smarter. What you're doing isn't working. When did it work? And why? If you really can't figure out it, get in touch with me but this time, it won't be for free.

(FYI Betty's people ask me to consult for FREE every six months or so...presumably because they are so broke they can't afford consultant fees.  Poor, poor Betty Crocker)

Dear Betty Crocker executives of 2016, this is also a hint! Love, Susan Marks

Happy Vintage Valentine from Betty Crocker

Vintage Betty Crocker Keepin' it Classy

For super obvious reasons I didn't include any of these vintage Betty Crocker cake mix ads in my book on Betty.
