Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
A quick read for a Monday morning…
Came across this post recently, and thought it was worth sharing. Given the changing nature of marketing, advertising, communications and public relations in today’s environment, I thought it was worth passing along:
The 8 Wrong Questions PR Firms Are Asking About Social Media
Now’s the time to speak up and be heard.
No, I have no control over who the Boise Advertising Federation invites to speak at any events, but if you’ve got an opinion, now’s the time to chime in and give them some feedback.
So, who would you like to hear speak at luncheons or other events this year?
Me? I’ve got a list that includes:
John January and Tug McTighe of American Copywriter.
Sally Hogshead, Consultant, Creative Director, Author of Fascinate and Radical Careering
Luke Sullivan, Copywriter, Creative Director, Author of Hey Whipple, Squeeze This
Helen Klein Ross, Founder of Brand Fiction Factory, Voice of @BettyDraper
Robbie Vitrano, CEO and Founder of Trumpet
Iain Tait, Global Interactive Creative Director at Wieden + Kennedy
Britton Taylor, Planner and Strategist at Wieden + Kennedy
This list could go on and on. But my question to you, dear reader, is this: Who would you like to see and hear from at an event?
Details are forthcoming, but in the mean time, be sure to get this on your calendar now:
Pete Wilson DesignWorks has added Ruth Fritz to their staff, as senior designer.
Ruth was most recently with Wells Fargo, focused on regional marketing for Idaho and as an independent designer through Fritz Creative Services. She is a graduate of Oregon State University, with a bachelor of fine arts.
Congratulations Ruth.
