About Sean Aiken and the One-Week Job Project – www.oneweekjob.com
What: Between Feb 2007 and March 2008, Sean Aiken completed an epic journey around North America, working 52 jobs in 52 weeks.
Why: When Sean graduated from college, he didn’t know what he wanted to do for a career (or what he wanted to do with his life!). But instead of taking the first job that came along, he found a unique way of figuring it out: The One Week Job Project.
How it worked: Anyone, anywhere, could offer Sean a job for one week, and contact him through the oneweekjob.com website. He tried everything: Bungee Instructor, Dairy Farmer, Advertising Executive, Baker, Stock Trader, Firefighter, and more. Wherever he could find work, he’d hitch a ride there, find a couch to crash on, and immerse himself in whatever profession was at hand.
Thousands of people began following his journey, looking to him for inspiration in their own lives. The media covered the story extensively: The New York Times, Rachael Ray Show, Good Morning America, CNN, 20/20, CBC Newsworld, FOX News and countless others.
Sean realized he hadn’t started on his own journey. He’d started a movement. Now at the end of his journey, it’s time to share the complete story and the lessons learned along the way.
Sean has since written a book, The One-Week Job Project, is working on a film about his experience, and has started the One Week Job Program.
About The One Week Job Program
The One-Week Job Program is designed to provide others the opportunity to participate in a similar experience to Sean’s original journey.
The first semester of the program is currently taking place, with winners from Canada and the United States. The three “jobbers” of the inaugural semester will work 8 different One Week Job’s of their choosing, and will receive a $3000 grant towards their travel expenses.
Inaugural Participant Amanda Lowe is spending one of her jobs with Reframe Marketing, a strategic planning and business marketing company based in Vancouver. This event is her first event-planning project, and she’s looking forward to sharing the program with you!

Photos from ‘Successful You Business Awards’
June 24th, 2010Hello! My name is Helena and I am from Korea. I recently joined Reframe Marketing as a Marketing Assistant. Recently, I attended the ‘Successful You Business Awards’ with my Supervisor, Karen. The event had an even greater turnout than I expected. Many people were mingling and networking. After the awards ceremony, Clodhoppers had a presentation about their business. I tried Clodhoppers for the first time ever and they were crispy and crunchy and sooooooooo good. I enjoyed every minute of the event. Thanks to Karen for inviting me to the event. It was an amazing experience! I hope Reframe Marketing is nominated for best business in the future. If you want to know about the event, check it out at http://www.smallbusinessbc.ca
Here are some photos from the event. Sorry that they are blurry.

Planning Your Marketing: Why Plan?
May 6th, 2010Get in the habit of creating a plan for every marketing activity you decide to implement even if you already have an overall marketing plan in place. Writing it down forces you to research and gather information, which helps you make better informed decisions as opposed to assumptions. This plan helps you measure the success of the implementation. Planning your marketing helps you drill down on the details that you may have missed out on without some planning. Not only that, it helps with delegating tasks as well if you become overwhelmed.
Planning is what distinguishes a successful marketer from an unsuccessful marketer.
