Recurring themes

Steve Hall over at AdRants posted an item earlier today regarding the Minnesota State Lottery’s store clerk series of spots.

They’re good spots, no doubt, but I got a feeling that they were similar to some of the spots that have been done for the Idaho Lottery over the years. The Betty Boop spot in particular comes to mind…

Anyone else care to weigh in?

BlueLine is no more

For those who may not have yet heard, BlueLine Grassroots Marketing is no more.

Tac goes into much more detail on the New Comm Biz site, so there’s no need to regurgitate it all here as well.

New Addition – Adrian + Sabine

In what seems to be an ongoing trend, this addition to the Idaho Ad Agencies roster is headed up by a former member of Oliver Russell & Associates.

Adrian + Sabine Creative Services offers “strategic planning,project management, event planning, and “virtual agency” services.” It was founded by Courtney Robinson Feider, formerly of Oliver Russell. Adrian + Sabine’s focus is on matching business with creativity, by matching the appropriate creative service with a given business, and the right business with the right creative individuals.

This, by my own unscientific calculations, is the third new business to come into being from a former Oliver Russell staff member over the course of the past year. Some may remember that Kristy Weyrich formed W Design about a year ago, and Paul Carew started Carew Co. about six month’s ago.

Interesting

There’s all kinds of traffic coming to this site lately as a result of searches for Drake Cooper. Anyone care to shed some light as to why?

Oh, and the snow globe on their website has finally been put away. It’s been replaced by a coming soon message, with a “promised” launch date of March 1st. Really. They mean it.

Given just about every agency’s track record when it comes to updating their own websites, I’m not holding my breath.
