CMEpalooza Flash Mob!!: Silver Sponsors

~ scottkober ~ Leave a comment

As described on the blog earlier in the week, we’re rolling out a new Sponsor event this spring based on the “flash mob” concept. It’s called, in a touch of creative genius, CMEpalooza Flash Mob!!

Today is Day 2 of the event, where we’ll focus on the Silver sponsors of CMEpalooza Spring. It’s now officially 10 am ET/7 am PT. You have a cushy 3 hours to complete today’s entry, meaning that the entry form will close at 1 pm ET/10 am PT. That should be plenty of time to tell your boss that you are “taking a walk around the block” and then complete the entry form.

There are only six Silver sponsors so this particular quiz should not take you much time to complete. Because we’re in an especially kind mood today, you only have to correctly answer questions related to four of our Silver sponsors to qualify for the prize drawing. But hey, if you answer all six correctly, just think how proud you’ll be of yourself!

Here is how you play:

  1. Click on this link to access today’s entry form
  2. Call up our Sponsor tab in a different window – you’ll need the links on here to visit our Silver sponsors
  3. All of the answers to today’s questions can be found within 1 or 2 clicks on each sponsor site. We didn’t choose any questions that were so obscure as to require excessive digging.
  4. When you are done and satisfied with your answers, hit the submit button
  5. If you got four questions right, you will be entered into our prize drawing at the end of the week, where you can win a $100 Amazon gift card (we’re giving away five of them)

That’s all there is to it. Good luck everyone. And… go!!

 

 

 

CMEpalooza Flash Mob!!: Gold Sponsors

As described on the blog earlier in the week, we’re rolling out a new Sponsor event this spring based on the “flash mob” concept. It’s called, in a touch of creative genius, CMEpalooza Flash Mob!!

We’re starting today with the Gold sponsors of CMEpalooza Spring. It’s now officially noon ET/9 am PT. You have 2 hours to complete today’s entry, meaning that the entry form will close at 2 pm ET/11 am PT. I was going to limit this to 1 hour, but I know we’re all busy and there is only so much time each day that the boss will let us dilly dally, even if we are all working from home.

There are only three Gold sponsors so this particular quiz should not take you much time to complete.

Here is how you play:

  1. Click on this link to access today’s entry form
  2. Call up our Sponsor tab in a different window – you’ll need the links on here to visit our Gold sponsors
  3. All of the answers to today’s questions can be found within 1 or 2 clicks on each sponsor site. We didn’t choose any questions that were so obscure as to require excessive digging.
  4. When you are done and satisfied with your answers, hit the submit button
  5. If you got every question right, you will be entered into our prize drawing at the end of the week, where you can win a $100 Amazon gift card (we’re giving away five of them)

That’s all there is to it. Good luck everyone. And… go!!

 

 

 

A New Sponsor Event: CMEpalooza Flash Mob!!

~ scottkober ~ 3 Comments

A few years ago, flash mobs were a big thing. They were goofy but usually fun. Basically, a group of people would congregate somewhere unannounced and have an impromptu performance or just do something random. Here in Philadelphia, the city’s opera company did a bunch of flash mobs at the Reading Terminal Market. Other cities had flash mob pillow fights. You can go down the YouTube rabbit hole and find all kinds of stuff.

Yet as with everything trendy, the day of the flash mob came and went. It’s been maybe 5-6 years since I remember hearing anything about them. But you should know better than to think that would stop the CMEpalooza train. Being that Derek and I are always on the tail end of every trend (Derek has started wearing his clothes backward again like his boyhood heroes, Kris Kross), we’re bringing the flash mob back, baby!

That’s right people, it’s time for a brand new sponsor event that we are calling CMEpalooza Flash Mob!! This is your chance to learn about all of the brilliant sponsors of CMEpalooza Spring with the possibility of winning loads and loads of cash.

Here is how this is going to work:

  1. On each of the next three days (Tuesday, March 2 through Thursday, March 4), we’ll make an announcement that “Today’s CMEpalooza Flash Mob!! has begun.” Tuesday will be for our gold sponsors, Wednesday for our silver sponsors, and Thursday for our bronze sponsors. The announcement will go out through our blog as well as social media (@thecmeguy or @medcasewriter on Twitter or via our LinkedIn profiles).
  2. You will have a limited amount of time to complete that day’s entry form online. We’ll give you 1 hour for the Gold sponsors, 2 hours for the Silver sponsors, and a generous 4 hours for the Bronze sponsors. We’ll even set the completion bar a bit lower as the days go on and the number of sponsors in each category increase. We won’t tell you when each day’s Flash Mob!! will begin, but we’re not so cruel as to do it at a random time in the middle of the night. We’ll be reasonable.
  3. Each day you successfully complete the online form, you will earn you one entry into our prize drawing. There will be five winners announced at the end of the week, each of whom will win a $100 Amazon gift card. With that kind of scratch, you could decorate your bedroom like Derek by purchasing one of these and still have plenty of money left over.

So bookmark the CMEpalooza homepage (or just subscribe to our blog), give Derek and I a follow on social media, and prepare to dig in.
