Upcoming Boise Ad Fed events

First off, my apologies for the recent lack of new posts. Hey, life gets in the way sometimes…

I received an email from the Boise Advertising Federation recently, with some information on upcoming events, and thought I’d pass that information along:

Saturday April 7th: Rockie Awards.
The BAF’s annual awards show is going to have a change of scenery this year, moving to the Doubletree Riverside. Dress is islander, business casual (whatever that means). Email Victor Obenauf for more information or to RSVP.

Friday April 20th: BAF Luncheon with guest speaker Bart Cleveland.
Doubletree Riverside.
Bart Cleveland is one of the principals at McKee Wallwork Cleveland in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and in addition to being published in Fortune and Advertising Age, Bart is a contributor to the Ad Age Small Agency Diary.

Thursday May 24th: BAF Luncheon with guest speaker Jim Copacino.
Doubletree Riverside.
Jim Copacino is co-founder of Copacino+Fujikado in Seattle, Washington, and will be presenting on the topic of “Big Ideas in a Not-So-Big Market.”

There are a few other things happening with the BAF, and I’d encourage you to contact Victor Obenauf for more information.

Anonymous Comments

Are no longer an option.

When the Idaho Ad Agencies blog was first started, I didn’t think much of allowing anonymous comments. I really didn’t expect many comments period. That, however, has changed recently.

This is an idea that I’ve been toying around with for a while now, and a recent exchange in the comments of a post pretty well pushed the thought over the edge. Anyone is still able to leave a comment, however not under the “anonymous” moniker.

I’m willing to put my name behind my thoughts and comments. You can too.

New Hire at Oliver Russell

Seems to be a common headline lately.

Andrew Klein has joined Oliver Russell & Associates as an Account Coordinator. He joins the agency after working most recently for Watson Wyatt, a human resources consulting firm.

Congratulations Andrew.

Job Opening – Copywriter

I just stumbled upon this one — there’s an anonymous job opening on the Boise Craigslist for a Copywriter. I would, however, take the “minimally talented” part with a grain of salt.

And for the second time in a row, bonus points for a well written job description.

Rizen Creative in Boise has an opening for an Account Executive. The full job description can be found on both Creative Hotlist and the Boise Craigslist.

Bonus points for a well written job description, gentlemen.
