Wells Fargo talks and Charlotte hopes they listen.

January 6th, 2009 categories: Charlotte Living

I spend way to much time railing about big companies and their lack of real leadership, vision, creativity and of course transparency.  There are a few exceptions Apple, ING, Timberland, uLine and Zappos come to mind. So what a pleasure to read today that Wells Fargo has a new blog aptly if not creatively named the Wells Fargo-Wachovia Blog and that the CEO is an author! Now I have not had the chance to check it out to see if like so many it’s just another company speak, boiler-plated, lawyered, extended company brochure sans pictures excuse for a blog. For now I’m going to give CEO John Stumpf, Anne Marie Quinn and Matt Wadley more than the benefit of the doubt. In fact I’m going to say KUDOS for even having a blog while so many companies don’t, won’t or can’t!

If as Matt Wadley says…

“See, my passion has always been for the written word, though I do enjoy the spoken and sung versions from time to time. And I’m really excited to have the chance to engage with you about the merger of two of America’s best financial companies.

But let me back up just a minute. Now I know some of you may see “Corporate Communications” and think: “Puh-leeze! Blogs are supposed to be about informal conversation, not just another channel for company press releases!”

Well, I couldn’t agree more.” read more here

Well Matt now that’s sounding pretty good and for all those antsy Wachovitteans this might just prove to be your best source for information, FAQs and a way to connect and learn about our new partners from the west! So take look at the Wells Fargo – Wachovia blog and come back to tell us what you think, better yet tell them! Dare I, we say welcome Wells Fargo!
