The Head is Shaky

 Hey everyone been away for a couple of days  but I 'm back!!!


   This morning I was watching Smile Jamaica on Television Jamaica (TVJ) as I always so however this morning the leader of the opposition Andrew Holness was was on and on this occasion I saw a calm and collective side to him, in his natural habitat away from the jungle of the parliamentary discussions and there was an absence of the blame game.There is rarely a day that goes by that we aren't face with the usual arguments between the two major political parties that head our country when this usual battle is missing it is viewed as a good day. The blame game has become even more present these days due to the infamous term IMF in our country now its on the lips of majority of Jamaican's.
    I find it so upsetting because when the JLP first got into the IMF dealings the PNP was in strong opposition, when the JLP wanted to borrow funds from the NHT the PNP again was in strong opposition yet still they are now all for heading into these directions. Confused or too talkative?? so much so that they will talk themselves into a dark corner. "If the head is shaky the body will together" this sums up the Prime Ministers current position she is simply just barely standing, shaking in the wind. I'm also baffled by the fact that when sporting events are coming up the money is always so forth coming and overflowing but the Student Loan Bureau can't find money from here there or anywhere. Priorities, priorities our country doesn't understand priorities. When students fail in school the teachers are always the first to be blamed then why should we hesitate to blame the leader of our country when our country is failing? Why continue to fight so hard to gain the leadership then do nothing wit h the opportunity given. Is it just about the power and just the glory of saying I won because that's how it is coming across to the citizens of Jamaica.
     I believe until the leaders of our country start acting like leaders and take their responsibilities seriously the body our country will fall together because of  a shaky head. The country indeed has faced many problems before our current leader was given the opportunity to make a change but effort goes a far way rather than the mere words and words and rumblings and blame game that she continues to echo from her mouth.

Reimagining the Big Screen: How Palace Amusement Can Level Up the Jamaican Movie Experience

  As a Digital Marketer in Jamaica, how would I revamp Palace Amusement? Here are some of my ideas: 1. The History of Palace Amusement - Create a campaign highlighting where the company is coming from, where it is now, and where it will be. Speak to grandparents who visited at the start, and have each group share their experience. Tie these experiences in with a film of the time.  2. The Love of Palace – Many couples have had their first dates at the movies, sparking relationships that blossomed into marriages and lifelong love stories. This campaign will highlight some of these real-life romances using a black-and-white aesthetic to evoke nostalgia and emotional connection in a visually captivating TV commercial, which will also be promoted across digital platforms. The campaign will culminate in an in-person event where couples with similar love stories will be invited to a special screening of the romance movie currently showing. Brands will be invited to partner in creati...

New Look, Same Tastee: Creative Digital Rebrand Ideas to Revive the Brand Online

My first patty love was Tastee Patties, and to be honest, it is truly disappointing to see that they have failed to capitalize on and take the brand to new levels. In this blog post, I will break down some of the ideas that I would implement to revive the brand in the digital space to surpass what competing brands are currently doing.  The First Bite In primary school, Tastee Patties felt like a reward; our end-of-week treasure after saving a few dollars from lunch money each day. That first bite was more than food; it was joy, friendship, excitement, and pure Jamaican childhood wrapped in a flaky crust. The First Bite Campaign will tap into that shared memory, reconnecting generations to the Tastee moment they’ll never forget, while also introducing younger Jamaicans to the brand in a way that feels timeless, cultural, and deeply personal. Tastee Canteen Makeover Challenge Tastee Patties has been a staple of school lunches across Jamaica for decades, sponsoring canteen areas and m...

The Young are being murdered

The death of the young By:©Saccheen Laing I put on my uniform Armed with books I set out in search of a good education. Streets lined with the blood stains of those who fell on the way  I'm determined to live to see another day But I have no control over those who believe they can have their own way. Armed with guns and knives  They attack me, They assault me, They abuse me , Because they believe they have control over me Because of guns and knives in hand. In my hands I write my plans A singer, an actor, a doctor, a fashion designer or a police man  I clench my fist as my blood runs to join those who fell before  My plans remain in my hands Never to be realized I am young but that means nothing on this land. The blood of the young will replace the ocean that surrounds and beautifies the land How many more shall die before you answer when I ask why? My mother shall cry and bury her son before he becomes a man My brot...
