Burying a persistent rumor

I don’t really know exactly how it got started, but there’s been a rumor flying around the Treasure Valley for the past week or two (at least) that North by Northwest is leaving Boise. While I was 99% sure that I knew the answer, I went to Lorena Davis at NxNW for the official word. Here’s what she had to say:

It is 100% fact that NxNW is NOT (no way, no how) leaving Boise. The exact opposite is true—2007 was a record breaking year. We have grown in personnel, purchased a bunch of new gear, and are now shopping for land to build a new studio.

So, there you have it. Let’s move on, shall we?

Cleaning Up up North

For those who may have missed it, the Spokane Advertising Federation’s ADDY Awards Show was last Friday. And among the entrants were a number of agencies from Northern Idaho.

And, as Rick Thomas from The Coeur d’Alene Press wrote, “Local ad agencies rake in awards.”

Boy did they ever.

Here’s a quick run-down:

Salty Design Foundry won 17 Silver ADDYs, 5 Gold ADDYs, as well as Judges Choice and Best in Division.
Blue541 won a total of 14 ADDYs, including a Gold in Industry Self Promotion for their interactive Christmas card.
Range won 5 ADDYs, including 1 Gold.

As soon as I can get my hands on the complete list of winners, I’ll be sure to share it with the class.

Congratulations to all of the winners.
