Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
Tickets are now on sale for the 2012 Rockie Awards. This year’s show starts at 8:00 p.m. at the Egyptian Theatre in Boise, following a reception starting at 6:00 at North by Northwest. Immediately following The Rockies, The Bullwinkles — the official after party — kicks off at the Rose Room downtown.
Tickets are available now, but are going fast. Be sure to place your order soon.
Perhaps you’ve been to them in the past. Or you’ve heard rumor about this fabled event. But even if you haven’t experienced the drama and debauchery yet, you’ll soon have your chance:
The Bullwinkles are back.
And their call for nominations is now open. From our friends organizing this year’s Bullwinkles event:
We had a dream. A dream that someday there would be an awards ceremony celebrating the people and organizations that have somehow fallen through the cracks in the Rockies. From these fissures of the forgotten rises the most auspicious awards affair in the history of this celebrated evening: The Bullwinkles.
Nomination Needed for: Your Favorite Media Pro, AE, Back End Programmer, Admin, Rookie Sensation, and charity with the worst marketing. https://www.facebook.com/thebullwinkles
Nominations are being accepted until Friday, April 13th (yes, Friday the 13th – take that for what you will). The entire nomination process is taking place on The Bullwinkles’ Facebook page, so see all of the details there.
Update: The deadline for nominations has been extended to Friday, March 16th.
Nominations are now being accepted by the Idaho Advertising Federation for the Silver Medal Award:
