You Won’t Believe What Fell Off Our Car — and Why It Matters for Your Brand
You Won't Believe This…
The other day, I was taking my oldest out for happy hour slushes at Sonic (mom win ). As we turned onto IH 173, I spotted a random bag of trash in the middle of the road.
My first thought? That’s awful. My second thought? Oh no… that’s OUR trash.
Marcus had taken out the garbage with our younger three in tow, placed the bags on top of the Subaru (because, why not?), and forgotten to toss them out at the dumpster. One of the bags to make a daring escape onto the highway had been missed when he stopped to collect them.
Cue calls to action in my Sue Heck voice, “America deserves better!” I felt like Texas deserved better.
So on the way back from Sonic, I slowed down, opened my door just right, and rescued the rogue Kohl’s bag/bathroom trash. I’ve never been more proud to throw something in the dumpster.
Moral of the story? Life gets busy. Messy. Distracted. Sometimes you just need someone to help clean it up and keep things moving.
That’s what we love to do at Marken Media — help other small businesses get noticed, stay consistent, and show up with confidence.
Here’s what we’ve got open right now...
On the Big Screen Soon
We just finished a video ad for Castroville State Bank, and it’ll be playing soon at Rainbow Theater! Supporting local business with creative work that tells a story — it’s what we’re all about!

️ June VIP Day Openings
Want a fast turnaround on your website, social content, or Google Business listing? Our VIP Days are like a marketing reset button. And yep, we’ve got a couple open in June.
Whether or not now’s the time for a project together, I hope this made you smile and reminded you that we’re all figuring it out — one rogue trash bag at a time.
