Another New Face at Rizen Creative

While we mentioned Jeremy in an earlier post, we neglected to recognize another new addition to the Rizen Creative team.

With apologies for the oversight, Amela has joined the Rizen staff recently as a graphic designer. She is a recent graduate of Boise State University, and former AIGA BSU student president.

Congratulations Amela.

Feeling Lucky?

If so, you might want to take a look at the latest RFP issued by the Idaho Lottery. Well, three separate RFPs, if you really want to get technical about it.

According to the RFP letter issued by the Lottery:

The Idaho Lottery is issuing three separate Requests for Proposal (RFP); one for Media Services, one for Creative Services, and one for Strategic Planning. It is our intent to solicit proposals from responsible, responsive, and experienced firms who can provide one or more of these services. If applicable, Respondents may provide a bundled, full service price option as outlined in the three separate RFPs. This RFP document is designed to provide vendors with the information necessary for the preparation of competitive proposals to acquire the Idaho Lottery’s business.

Anyone interested in learning more about the components of the Idaho Lottery RFP can do so on the Marketing Services RFP page of the Idaho Lottery’s website.

The Idaho Lottery account is currently held by DaviesMoore, which was awarded the contract based in 2009, after the Lottery’s last venture into the RFP world.

And yes, I blatantly stole the headline for this post from here.

Skipping Stones

Read in your best Barney Stinson voice…

Haaaaave you met Skippy?

Skippy is skipping stones in Sun Valley (say that five times fast) through July 14th. And if I had to guess, I’d venture to say that it’s not a coincidence that this is running while attendees at the Allen and Company Conference in Sun Valley.

UPDATE: The Valley Sun posted a good recap of the Skippy project and some website traffic-related numbers and results here:
