A spin around the state

I took a spin through various agency websites recently, to see what’s new (if anything). Here are a few highlights:

Advantage Advertising: When I last checked in on them – way back in July, there site had been in a state of “under construction” for some time. Well, that’s no longer the case. Instead, it’s “Coming Soon…” How long has it been that way? Good question.

Blue541: At a glance, it looks like things have pretty much been the same since the last time I wandered through. Too long ago…

Creative Soapbox: Something is up with these guys. I’m just not sure what. Their site is in a “coming soon” state as well, but they’ve showcased a bunch of the work they’ve done for their clients.

Steele & Associates: I know that the folks over in Pocatello consistently do outstanding work. If only they’d share a bit of it with updates on their website.

Who me? Snarky? Well, maybe a bit.

BAF Luncheon with Pat Doody

I was able to attend the Boise Advertising Federation’s luncheon yesterday, featuring Pat Doody, President of Wongdoody.

A few RSVP snafu’s aside, it was a very well organized event. The new BAF leadership seems to have their house in order, and look to be putting the right pieces in place to make future events and activities much more successful. Now if they’d just get that damned website fixed…

Pat’s presentation, in my opinion, ranks right up there in quality with Bart Cleveland’s presentation earlier this year. From all appearances, Pat is a gifted speaker with an obvious passion for his business, and one who appreciates the value of the creative and its role in the overall scheme of things.

I’d go into details about the presentation itself, but there’s no way that I could do it justice. If anyone else who was in attendance would like to add their own take on it, by all means comment away.

And the correct answer, for 5,000 points is…

A member of the production staff.

Now for those who are wondering just how far off the deep end I’ve gone, the question was posed in a recent post about Oliver Russell’s newest hire.

Thanks Julie for the tip.

New Agency Addition

As I’ve said in the past, if you bring something to my attention, odds are I’ll include it here. Case in point…

The White Space is a design shop based in Boise, with a satellite office in Bozeman, Montana. Their services include identity, collateral, print, web and media.

I’ve added them to the list of agencies in Idaho. Are there others that I should do the same with? Let me know.
