Baskin-Robbins Turkey Cake Makes Media Splash for Thanksgiving

 

 Schneider Associates client, Baskin-Robbins, released their annual Turkey Cake for Thanksgiving this year. With its uncanny resemblance to an actual roasted turkey, the Baskin-Robbins ice cream cake attracted attention from news outlets nationwide.

San Antonio Living also featured the cake on their November 22nd broadcast when the hosts cut into the cake on live television and tasted one of the “drumsticks” of the ice cream turkey.

Denver’s KUSA Channel 9 News also tasted the cake on their November 20th broadcast as the anchors discussed alternatives to making a Thanksgiving meal at home.

The Thanksgiving treat was also featured, along with the Baskin-Robbins Cake Bites, on Sacramento’s Good Day on November 22nd.

The New York Times Features Rockland Trust

 

Schneider Associates’ client, RocklandTrust, was recently featured in the New York Times’ Business Day section.  The article, “Following Banks, Shares Close Down on Wall Street,” discusses concerns for the stock market following a dip in stocks on October 13. Jason Lilly, a portfolio manager at Rockland Trust Investment Management Group, commented on JPMorgan Chase’s report that the slowdown in investment banking is a key reason for the stock dip. Lily noted that the results are not a good sign for other financial companies.

The article also mentioned that the European debt could move the United States back into recession. “Europe will definitely contribute to more volatility. That story isn’t done,” said Lilly.
