Bruce, I just watched your Marketing Minute. In 1918 or thereabouts, my grandfather, JM Britten rode on horseback from Creston Iowa to Northern Texas to homestead land. He leaned 30 miles east of Amarillo in a tiny town called Groom, had 13 kids and 61 grandkids. I am one of those grandkids. . I suspect that this video is backed by my cousins land, as Britten’s own the vast majority of that land.
In Groom, you may have past a leaning water tower…it says Britten USA on the side. It was my uncles truck stop.
But now, I am in Traverse City, and my cousins refer to me as a damn yankee. I am looking forward to bringing you to Traverse City to help me , once and for all, to define our Brand and tagline. Although my cousins and family all have damn strong opinions about what ‘Britten’ stands for, I beat them all too the punch and named my company Britten, Inc. Just to piss them all off.
Still working on your book…but loved the ted talks too.
