A Familiar Face in a New Place

While catching up on some neglected feed-reading over the past few days, I was surprised by an entry on Rizen Creative’s blog: Welcome, Jason.

And now, for the abridged version:

Jason Hamilton has left Fuel3, and is now with Rizen Creative.  While their blog post was not clear as to what Jason’s role is within the agency, I’m sure that he’ll be a great addition to their team.

Ignite Boise 3: Proposals Due

Time is running out.

If you’ve been reading the Idaho Ad Agencies blog for any time, you know that we’ve covered the previous two Ignite Boise events.  And Ignite Boise 3 will be no exception.

But before we can tell you all about the event, you’ll have to do your part and submit your speaker proposal.

It’s not tough to do.  Just a short paragraph that covers what you’d like to speak about.  No slides are due at this point — just an idea.  If selected, then comes the work of putting together the full presentation.

But don’t wait.  Submissions for Ignite Boise 3 are due by 5:00pm on Friday, October 9th.

Coffee Morning – Feedback Needed

Yes I know, Coffee Morning has been noticeably absent lately.  For a variety of reasons, of which I’ll not go into at this point.

Before I try and schedule another one, I have questions for you, dear readers:

  • Is there still an interest in Coffee Morning, and the casual face-to-face get-together concept?
  • Would more people attend if it was held at a different time, i.e. after work rather than first thing in the morning?

Or, has Coffee Morning run simply run its course?

Leave your answers in the comments on this post, and thanks in advance for the feedback.
