Oliver Russell turned 29 today. Here’s what Russ Stoddard shared recently on Twitter:
Congratulations to Russ, his team, and everyone who’s been involved with the shop over the years.
Boise in the background
As Don Day first reported at BoiseDev.com a few days ago, Boise and other areas around the Treasure Valley are currently serving as locations for a Toyota commercial shoot.
The shoot began over the weekend, and is scheduled to wrap today.
More details are available at BoiseDev.
A title befitting talent and tenure
Just over a decade ago we wrote about Thomas Walsh joining Carew Co. as a fresh-out-of-school designer.
Fast-forward to today, and he’s still with the shop, though his skills, experience and leadership have all evolved considerably since 2010.
And now, so has his title.
Carew Co. recently announced that Thomas has been promoted to Associate Creative Director. As Paul Carew noted when sharing the news of the promotion, “Thomas is truly the lifeblood of the agency.”
With this expanded role, Carew continued, Thomas will “lead more projects and take on more responsibility in creative direction, interactive and web projects, and project management.”
Congratulations, Thomas.
*tap* *tap* Is this thing on?
Hello out there.
Things have been pretty quiet around here as of late, and I know for many of you who stop by from time to time, your worlds have been turned upside down in ways you never could have anticipated. But life–and business–is still moving, albeit differently than it has in the past.
Putting the usual “I hope you’re well and staying safe” platitudes aside, I’d like to hear from you, and learn more about how you’ve been handling the chaos of the past few months.
If you’re willing to share your experiences, the ups and downs, or anything in between, drop me a line or leave a comment here.
