Boise Advertising Federation Update

I received an email last night from Victor Obenauf at Platinum Advertising Group, who is the current BAF President. He let me know that the Boise Advertising Federation’s website will be retooled in about a month, and there is also a luncheon coming up in January.

Also, there’s a BAF holiday get-together tonight in the basement at Pair Restaurant. Here’s a little information about it:

Job Opening – Associate Creative Director/Art Director

Here’s one for the “now there’s a new name” column. Brick Group, which is described as a specialty agency that provides “kick-butt ideas to the real estate industry” is looking for an Associate Creative Director/Art Director.

In reading the description, found on both Creative Hotlist and as an anonymous post on Craiglist, what they’re really looking for is a Creative Director, but they want to leave their options open.

Many Thanks

While wandering around the Internet yesterday, I came across a couple of posts that link back to the Idaho Ad Agencies blog:

Tac Anderson over at Blueline Grassroots Marketing has an entry about Social Networking On and Off Line, in which he lists a number of blogs that he reads regularly, and I am honored to see that this blog is included in that list. Tac — I got the hint, and one of these days we will have the chance to meet in person.

John Foster at the Idaho Business Review added a blog post on the Boise Valley Economic Partnership, and using local vs. national agencies recently, which included a quote from this site.

Thanks to both Tac and John for the coverage.

An Open Invitation

When the Idaho Ad Agencies blog first began, it was intended to provide an avenue for discussion about the agency business here in Idaho. News, commentary, jobs, rumors — it has all been fair game.

But a good discussion is not one-sided. I appreciate those of you who have taken the time to leave a comment on any of the topics that have been presented during the past year. You may not agree with what I’ve written — hell, you may think I’m completely full of shit — and you’ve got every right to have your opinion. I’ve got mine, as I’m sure you’ve noticed.

Now I’d like to take it a step further, and hence the open invitation. Do you have something you’d like to contribute to the Idaho Ad Agencies blog? If so, send it to me. Topics are pretty much wide open, as long as it relates somehow to the agency business and marketing environment here in Idaho.

Your contributions can be either credited or anonymous, just let me know which you’d prefer.
