Month: November 2006

A couple of additions to the “Other Notable Sites” section of the Idaho Ad Agencies blog:

MarketingVOX
The Ad Feed

MarketingVOX is “The Voice of Online Marketing.” Its a great place to stop by from time to time, and read the news in and around the marketing industry (it really does cover so much more than just online marketing).
The Ad Feed is a one-stop-shop for news and feeds from a range of marketing-related websites/blogs. In short, it takes the content from the feeds of all the other “must-read” sites and puts it all together in one nice, neatly wrapped, bow-on-top package.

Stoltz Marketing Group in Boise, which has added several new faces over the past year or so, is looking for more. They’re on the hunt for an entry- to mid-level copywriter and a mid- to senior-level graphic designer.

Update: The graphic designer should have solid interactive and/or flash design experience.

Also, I have to give credit to the folks over at Stoltz for putting these jobs up on Creative Hotlist. Its nice to see someone other than Coldwater Creek posting their “creative” jobs on that site.

I was unable to attend the Be Your Own Media conference today at BSU — scheduling conflicts wouldn’t allow for it. I’d be interested, however, in hearing from anyone who did.

What did you think of the conference?
What were the good and bad parts about the day?
Was it worth your time?
Anything in particular that you’d like to share with the class?

While I don’t recall seeing much of any press coverage around this conference, as opposed to the one that Blueline put on earlier this year, I do hope that it was well attended, at that the participants walked away with a different point of view, even if only slightly so.

Oh, and Tac — thank you for the invitation. Hopefully I’ll be able to sit in on the next conference.

Blueline Grassroots Marketing is once again presenting the Be Your Own Media conference, this time on the campus of Boise State University in Boise.

The conference is on Monday, November 13th, from 9:00am – 4:30pm in the Hatch Ballroom of the BSU Student Union Building. Cost to attend is $25, and registration begins at 8:30am.

Is it worth spending the $25 to attend this conference? I think so, as long as you go into it with an open mind. By no means will this provide all of the answers, but you might leave with a different point of view.

The demand for freelancers is getting greater and greater these days, to the point that companies are even posting “help wanted” ads specifically for freelancers.

The latest is from the Idaho Craigslist job board.
