A new website for the Boise Advertising Federation

Yes, I’ve nagged about it in the past. Here, here, and of course here, just to name a few.

But the Boise Advertising Federation finally has a new website up and running, with a great deal more content that has been on the site for the past couple of years (not hard to do, but hey, I’m trying to be nice here). It even has some familiar headlines on the homepage.

The BAF site was developed by the crew over at Drake Cooper, and they deserve some recognition for the time and effort that they put into it.

If you haven’t already, check out the new site: http://www.boiseadfed.org/. Of course, comments about the site are welcome here, as long as they stay somewhat on topic…

New Agency Addition – Red Sky Public Relations

Okay, so I’m horribly behind on this one. Happens to the best of us…

Red Sky Public Relations is a recent addition to the marketing and communications world here in Idaho, but they come packing a pretty big punch. Red Sky was founded by Stephanie Worrell, formerly of Worrell Communications, Jessica Flynn, previously Communications Manager at Tamarack Resort, and Alicia Ritter, formerly Director of Fundraising Initiatives at Boise State University.

The firm also started with Catie Wardwell as an Account Executive and Robert Deen as an investor and advisor.

Red Sky PR started off with a bang, opening their doors with clients such as Supervalu/Albertsons, Tamarack Resort, College of Western Idaho and more. On the interactive front, they also publish the PR Musings Weblog.
