The CBS billboard at the east end of the Sunnybrook Plaza has an intriguing customer in the form of People for Good.ca. There’s a catchy slogan too: Let’s Make Man Kind. It’s the creation of two men, Mark Sherman, Executive Chair of Media Experts, a media strategy and negotiation company and Zak Mroueh, President & Creative Director of Zulu Alpha Kilo. What’s it all mean? On the website people are urged to put aside their “hectic lives” and do something nice. Some suggestions:
1.Mow your neighbor’s lawn
2. Instead of an email, send a handwritten note.
3. Call your mother
4. Bring home flowers.
5. Make cookies for your neighbours
6. Do a chore, even if it’s not your turn.
7. Give up the remote
8. Make breakfast for the household
9. Go say hello to your neighbour.
