Those pesky expiration dates

Platinum Advertising Group’s website seems to have vanished into thin air. I quick check of their domain name registration reveals this little tidbit — it expired on November 23rd.

Oops.

And apparently no one has thought to check on this site since then. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — the devil is in the details. Bad form folks, bad form.

Thanks for the tip S.

Seasons. Weather. Names. All subject to change.

The holiday season is in full swing, and we’re starting to see the usual ‘Happy Holidays’ greetings popping up on various website. This one in particular, has much much more.

A stop over at es/drake’s website revealed a fancy little snow globe on the home page, as well as some big news:

Es/drake is now Drake Cooper.

For the long time reader, you’ll remember that Jamie Cooper joined the agency as Chief Operating Officer back in 2006. He has since become a partner in the agency, and the name change is reflective of that.

Also, what is now Drake Cooper will be moving out of their long-held office space on 9th Street to their own, newly remodeled building in BoDo. That move is slated to happen mid month, so hopefully there won’t be too many moving-related snafus.

Pro Bono work – the update

As I expected it would, an earlier post highlighting some local pro bono work generated some response. Here’s a quick update on what a few other shops are working on:

DNA Advertising:
DNA Advertising teamed with Dutch Bros. Coffee and Peak Broadcasting to collect books for Mercy Housing, which is building a library for different communities. Mercy Housing helps people find affordable housing and offers after school programs for children.

DNA, along with Blackfin Technology, is also working on a re-branding campaign for The Arc.

Es/drake:
Es/drake redesigned Zoo Boise’s website.

Es/drake also donated quite a bit of time and effort to the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Live Large Give Large activities earlier this year.

Others? Just let me know.
