Rizen’s on the move

From their little office on Hill Rd. to a new space on 9th Street.

I caught a little blurb in last week’s Idaho Business Review that mentioned Rizen purchased space in the Foster’s Building on 9th.

2,008 square feet should give them some room to stretch their legs.

Spotlight on Carew Co.

A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to sit down for coffee with Paul Carew.

Paul spent the past decade+ with Oliver Russell, most recently as Creative Director.

Then, in the first part of July, he struck out on his own, opening Carew Co. According to Carew Co’s website, “Form needs to function. Creative has to work.” In other words, the pretty pictures alone won’t get results. There has to be a solid plan behind it.

Since Paul started up the shop in early July, he’s kept himself incredibly busy, and from the sounds of it there’s no sign of things slowing down.

To Paul, and everyone else who’s taken that leap of faith to strike out on their own, I offer up a hearty congratulations. It’s a bold step to take, so make the best of it.

Be sure to check out the Carew Co. blog as well for updates and a little peek behind the curtain.

Thanks for the nod Danny

As always, I am grateful whenever this site receives a little notice from outside the local echo chamber, and the latest case is no exception.

Danny G., one of the contributing writers over at AdPulp, posted a piece on NE Creative, which is a blog about advertising in Nebraska. In it, he mentioned that they were “following the lead of Idaho, and some other locales…”

Now, while I never really though of this site as taking the lead, I’ll set that aside and just say thanks to Danny G.

And to the folks over in Nebraska, welcome, and hello from the other side of the Continental Divide.

New Hires and Promotions

The kids over at Oliver Russell are at it again…

Courtney Feider has been promoted to Senior Account Executive.

Vida Lietuvninkas has joined Oliver Russell as Office Manager.

Jessica Holmes has joined the agency as a Copywriter.

Tony Tino is Oliver Russell’s latest hire, and a name that’s a serious ‘blast from the past’ for me personally.

Congratulations to all.
