Month: February 2007

I know that I’m way behind on this one, but what can you do…

Both Tac Anderson and Brian Packer have left Blueline recently — each for their own reasons. To their credit, the folks over at Blueline laid out the details (or as much of them as they’re willing to share) on their website.

Some of you know me. Many of you do not.

For those that don’t, here’s a brief introduction. My name is Brian Harrison.

When I began publishing this blog, I was little more than an interested observer of the agency business here in Idaho. I had worked for Stoltz Marketing Group many years ago, and as such was familiar with many of the players around town. I’ve had a day job that has allowed me the chance to keep up on the ins and outs of this business, and natural curiosity about how the whole Web 2.0 thing will affect the work that local agencies are doing.

Well, that’s all about to change.

As of Monday morning I’ll no longer be merely an interested observer. I’ll have skin in the game, so to speak.

I’ve accepted a position with Closed Loop Marketing & Advertising.

Is that going to change what I do on this site? Probably.

Obviously, I won’t be writing about what’s happening inside the agency — that would be nothing short of career suicide. I will most likely keep up on who is coming and going, job openings, and other assorted news. Also, if I see a particularly good, or bad, campaign, I’m still going to call it as I see it.

Even in a “smaller” business community such as Boise, I think we still need to be able to pat each other on the back once in a while, respectfully call bullshit when appropriate, and raise the level of discussion, and consequently the quality of the work.

With that being said, have a good weekend everybody.
