Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
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.
The staff of Red Sky Public Relations continues to grow. Most recently, they’ve added:
Tracy Bresina as Business Manager. Tracy joins Red Sky with more than 10 years of experience in accounting and human resources, including time with Saint Alphonsus Nephrology Center, Idaho Nephrology Associates, and Intermountain Orthopaedics. Prior to joining Red Sky PR she was with Idaho Community Foundation.
Tracy is a graduate of Boise State University, with degrees in Psychology and Business Administration. She is also a founding member of the Little Black Dress Club, and volunteers her time to the Idaho Humane Society and Women’s and Children’s Alliance.
Jenn Connor as Account Executive. Jenn comes to Red Sky by way of the Treasure Valley Family YMCA, where she spent 14 years, including the last six as Marketing and Communications Director. There she was responsible for developing the overall marketing and communications plan, branding guidelines, media and donor relations, staff development and more.
Jenn is also a graduate of Boise State University, with a degree in International Business, with a marketing emphasis. She too volunteers her time to the community, including events such as Rake Up Boise, MS Walk, and in her children’s classrooms.
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.
