Spend Drake Cooper’s money

Seriously, you can help spend Drake Cooper’s money.

Well, donate it to the Idaho Food Bank, that is.

Here’s the deal. Drake Cooper, through Ponywolf, has created Bad Company Party. As they described it, “This year we’ve gamified the annual company get together so you take the reigns and turn the booze filled, table dancing, office gossiping company party into something good for others.”

Now, for the spend Drake Cooper’s money part…

“For every share of Bad Company Party, Drake Cooper will donate $1 to the Idaho Food Bank up to a total donation of a $1000 between now and December 31st, 2014. Make sure you use the social links at the beginning of the game so your share gets counted and money goes to help those in need.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time that Drake Cooper has stepped up to support the Idaho Food Bank during the holidays. But this year’s effort also offers the side benefit of demonstrating Ponywolf’s capabilities too. Well played, DC, well played.

Now, go forth and play. Share. Repeat.

Tis the season

For holiday ads from the Idaho Lottery, that is. And it looks like the folks over at Drake Cooper had some fun with them this year.

 

Hey ad peeps, are you up for a challenge?

This one comes courtesy of our friends at Oliver Russell:

Oliver Russell will match up to $500 in online donations from ad agencies and employees to the Feed Four More campaign to benefit the Idaho Foodbank — $5 provides breakfast for a family of four, and $10 buys lunch or dinner for the same family.

In other words, if our $500 is successfully matched, then we’ll provide 800 breakfasts — most important meal of the day! — to people who are struggling to put food on the table. A great way for those of us in the biz to give just a little in order to combat hunger over the holidays.

Social Good Network developed the technology platform for the effort, which works across all devices, desktop, tablets, and mobile. We (Oliver Russell) contributed a pro-bono fundraising video, “Bellies.” Whole Foods Market Boise is sponsoring the initiative — the first location in the entire Whole Foods Market chain to enable online donations via Facebook and mobile. Boise rocks!

 

Foerstel’s Christmas Wish

As seen recently on Foerstel’s Facebook Page:

Foerstel******PLEASE READ***** To all of our Foerstel Friends and to our peers in the design and marketing world. We are very happy in our new office in the Linen District area and enjoy being in the heart of our community. However, because of our location, we see “everyday” how the homeless in our community move in-between shelters and sometimes just don’t have the capacity to make it to some of those shelters. Whatever the situation, we look out, see, and know that these people are trying to survive, especially in this unbearably cold weather!

****HERE IS OUR CHRISTMAS WISH*******Please look in your home…we are sure that you have to have 1 or 2 used blankets that you no longer need, are ready to throw out or donate. We ask that you please bring them to our office at 249 S. 16th St. between now and Friday, Dec. 18th. We want to just hand them out to these people, so they have a blanket to call their own and help shield somewhat from the cold.

We’re not asking you to go buy new blankets, just bring in your own well loved blankets that are no longer needed. … See More

Please respond here with questions or call Laura at 371.2704

Thank you in advance! We want to make a difference in our little community

If you can help, please do.
