Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
From David Burn, friend and fellow blogger at AdPulp:
@adpulp is fast approaching 10,000 posts – not all of them have been worthy, but many have – all told, it's a lot of copy
— David Burn (@davidburn) August 9, 2012
That’s a good ten times more posts than we’ve got here, and a remarkable milestone by
all measures.
Well done to David, Shawn and Dan, and everyone else who has contributed to AdPulp over the years.
Read in your best Barney Stinson voice…
Haaaaave you met Skippy?
Skippy is skipping stones in Sun Valley (say that five times fast) through July 14th. And if I had to guess, I’d venture to say that it’s not a coincidence that this is running while attendees at the Allen and Company Conference in Sun Valley.
UPDATE: The Valley Sun posted a good recap of the Skippy project and some website traffic-related numbers and results here:

Crazy how time flies.
It was six years ago today that some jackass with an internet connection and an opinion made the first post on this obnoxious thing called the Idaho Ad Agencies blog.
Thank you to everyone that’s come along for the ride. Let’s keep this crazy train going, shall we?
A handly little infographic on the Employment Outlook for Graphic Design. Thanks to Graphic Design for allowing this to be shared, and a hat tip to Von Glitschka for the find.
Sprowt, an “initiative to nurture emerging designers in our local design community” has launched in the Treasure Valley.
From their website:
What Is Sprowt?
Sprowt is an initiative to support emerging designers in their transition from university to a professional career. Currently, we’re gathering feedback from local graduates and employers and plan to use that data to develop educational resources for design students and recent graduates. Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming surveys and site developments!
Sprowt was recently launched by Justin Kuntz and Ryan Lascano, and we’ll be keeping an eye on it in the coming weeks and months.
