Quick Hits

Ignite Boise is today, and today is Ignite Boise Day.

Oliver Russell recently launched their redesigned website.

The Boise Centre on the Grove has a new identity as Boise Centre, courtesy of Rizen Creative.

George Parker is still gleefully ranting away on Adscam. (Personal aside, his latest book, The Ubiquitous Persuaders, in next in line on my reading list. More on that at a later date).

PARAGRAPH may have just found THE solution to fix the agency pitch process.

Spotlight on Creative: Curb It

If you’re in the Boise area, you likely saw at least a part of the Curb It campaign for the City of Boise.  The campaign’s creative, including identity, website, video, direct mail, collateral and handbook materials were developed by SOVRN Creative.  Public relations, events, community outreach and other related efforts were handled by Cronin & Associates.

The campaign’s video can be seen on the Curb It Boise website.
