New Hire at Oliver Russell

Oliver Russell & Associates in Boise has added Bryan Escobedo as a Senior Account Executive. Bryan joins the agency after working most recently for Duncan & Associates. If you recall, Oliver Russell’s new Account Services Director also came from Duncan & Associates, so this should be a combination that will hit the ground running right away.

Congratulations Bryan.

This story too will get stale (eventually)

Yeah, I made the joke — it was too easy. I couldn’t help myself.

This River City Bagel ad is the still going strong around the blogosphere. First it was AdFreak. Then AdPulp. Now Adrants has picked it up.

Just for the hell of it, I may have to stop in their shop tomorrow morning and see how much shit they’ve gotten over the past week. With any luck they’ll also fill me in on who originally designed the ad, although something tells me that silent7seven might be in the know. That “scan” looks an awful lot like original artwork, especially when compared to the finished version that ran in the Boise Weekly.

Well, that’s a way to get attention

River City Bagels in Boise recently caught the attention of Tim Nudd over at AdFreak.

And yes, its true — the ad really did run in the Boise Weekly this week. Pick up one and take a look for yourself.

A wander through Marketing Media Group

Or their website, at least. On occasion, I’ve been known to stop by various agency websites, look around, and see what’s been happening. Recently, I took a look at Marketing Media Group.

Among the notable items, beyond the redesigned website itself:

Edward Moore bought out the other MMG partners, and is now the sole owner of the agency.

Michelle Travis, long time Account Executive, has left the shop and is now working outside of the agency world.

They’ve added several new faces in various roles.

Take some time to look around their site, and in particular the shop talk section. And to the folks over at MMG, well done.
