Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
Congratulations to Stoltz Marketing Group — they are among this year’s award winners of the 2009 National Philanthropy Day® – Idaho Awards for Philanthropy winners from the Association of Fundraising Professionals – Idaho Chapter.
Stoltz Marketing Group was named Outstanding Media for their work with nonprofit organizations such as Idaho Rivers United, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Idaho, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
The Idaho Statesman is reporting that Cronin & Associates has been selected by the City of Boise to conduct a publicity campaign for the city’s streetcar plan.
The campaign is budgeted at $90,000 and is expected to be approved at the City Council’s regularly scheduled meeting, according to the paper.
Interestingly, although not surprisingly, the Idaho Statesman is also quick to take a political slant with this news, noting that founder Brian Cronin is a State Representative (D), and has been involved in Democratic politics, working on campaign staffs for Mayor Bieter and Jerry Brady.
18 years and still going strong. Congratulations to Oliver Russell, and everyone that has been involved over the years.
United Water Idaho has issued a Request for Proposal for Advertising Agency Services, and they’ve asked us to help spread the word.
Some highlights from the RFP:
United Water Idaho (United Water) through this Request for Proposal (RFP) is soliciting proposals from invited firms, teams, or individuals to provide United Water with full-service advertising agency and creative services. Proposers are requested to submit proposals on or before the submission date that are complete and responsive to the requirements of the RFP.
As a regulated monopoly, United Water Idaho is limited in its advertising to education of its customers or alerting them to significant service issues or disruptions. The company generally does not engage in self-promotional or competitive marketing advertising.
Local (Boise-area) firms only are invited to bid on this contract. The successful bidder should demonstrate knowledge of the Boise media market, have creative services either in-house or provide names and portfolios of subcontractors, and be able to work within the guidelines established by United Water’s corporate identity standards.
Responses to the United Water RFP are due by 12:00 pm Friday, September 25th.

When the Idaho Ad Agencies blog was revamped earlier this year, one of the new additions to the site was the Jobs section.
Well, it’s been a few months since that happened, so now is a good time to get some feedback from you, dear readers. Do you use the Jobs section? How often do you look through the job listings? Do you find valuable information there?
And, for the employers in the crowd: Have you considered posting a job on the Idaho Ad Agencies Job Board? Why or why not?
As always, feedback and comments are much appreciated.
