Getting settled in at the new place

By all accounts, Rizen Creative has finished, or is very close to finishing their move into the new office space.

Once they do get settled in, perhaps they’ll be so kind as to give me a tour of the shop.

New Agency Addition

Imagination Graphics (iMgX) is a full service ad agency / graphic design shop located in Coeur d’ Alene. They first opened in 2002, and have been steadily picking up clients and employees ever since.

A quick spin through their website suggests that iMgX is an eight-person shop that focuses primarily on graphic design and signage.

Thanks for the heads-ups Sean. Just remember though, now you guys are on the hook to send updates from time to time.

Updates from the folks over at Stoltz

For those who have been reading this blog for a while know, I’ve been known to rail on agencies who don’t update their website from time to time. Stoltz Marketing Group is one that I’ve nagged at repeatedly.

In spite of my good-natured ribbing about their lack of activity represented on their website, the folks over at Stoltz really have been quite busy. Since mid-October they’ve:

Created a couple of television spots for Northwest Nazarene University’s undergraduate enrollment campaign. If you’ve watched the Boise State Football games this past fall, you’ve likely seen them at some point. If not, they’re up on YouTube, and you can see them here.

Change:

They’ve also been chosen by Simplot to create a national print campaign for their RoastWorks line of vegetables, scheduled to start running in January.

Idaho Rivers United was the recipient of a newly-designed website, courtesy of the pro-bono work of the SMG crew.

And that was October alone.

Among other things, December has seen Stoltz Marketing Group selected by The Big Brothers Big Sisters of America to create a national campaign to increase the number of adult male mentors. This is the result of work done at the local level on Men in Need (featured here last fall), which was credited with increasing local male volunteer levels by 46% in 2006.

Also this month, SMG launched the website for Avimor, a “master planned community in the Foothills.”

If you’d like to find out more about any or all of this, you can take a look at the online version of SMG’s Winter Newsletter.

Now if they would just start putting out some more regular updates, maybe I wouldn’t have to write out these long, laundry-list kind of posts…

Hey, its nice to dream once in a while, right?

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.
