Job Opening – Graphic Designer

Side Door Media in Boise has an opening for a Graphic Designer with 3 – 5 years of agency experience. This could very well be the same position they’ve advertised in the past, but it could also be something completely new.

Full details about the job can be found here.

Coffee Morning Reminder and Location

Just a reminder that this month’s Coffee Morning is coming up on this Friday morning, July 25th.

The new location for this month’s gathering will be at Thomas Hammer on the corner of 8th and Bannock in downtown Boise.

I’ve heard from a few people that they will be in Sun Valley for the Idaho State Broadcaster’s Association Annual Convention, but to those who aren’t making the trip, you are welcome to join us for some coffee and conversation.

Where’s That Line Between Reporting and Opinion Again?

Something about the Idaho Business Review’s cover story this week about “Greenwashing” just rubbed me the wrong way.

Maybe it’s the interviews that seem to end with more questions than answers.

Maybe it’s because Simon Shifrin takes a residential developer, and their agency, to task in a thinly veiled ‘you’re not being open and honest’ sort of way about their business motivations. Let’s not even get into the quoting (somewhat out of context) from the agency’s website, without any actual contact with the agency itself.

Or it could just be the “me too” reporting — writing about “green” activities, environmentally friendly stories and such is all the rage these days, so if the IBR doesn’t cover it, they must be behind the times.

This, my all accounts, is much more of an op/ed piece than business reporting. And I don’t think I’m alone in that opinion. Rick Carpenter, Robb Hicken et. al., you shouldn’t have let this story out the door the way it was published.

Of course, I could just be way off base. Been known to happen before…

Oh, and by the way Simon, it’s Stoltz Marketing Group, not Stolz Marketing Group.

Quiet Week for the Idaho Ad Agencies Blog

Yes folks, it’s going to be a quiet week for the Idaho Ad Agencies blog. Brian is taking a “working vacation” in Oregon this week, so new posts could be few and far between.

We’ll return to normal programming next week.

In the mean time, here’s a few other sites that might tide you over:
