Spokane Ad Fed – ADDY Awards Show

While I suspect that those up in Northern Idaho are already well aware of this, the Spokane Advertising Federation’s ADDY Awards Show is this Friday, March 7th, at the Bing Crosby Theater in Spokane.

The Spokane Ad Fed includes members from Northern Idaho as well as Eastern Washington.

Once again, I must say ‘Thanks’

It seems that the number, and quality of comments have both improved lately, and for that I have to say ‘thank you’ to all of you who take the time to read and comment on the Idaho Ad Agencies blog.

For example, and for those who may have missed it, take a look at Shadow’s comments on the Issues Facing Agencies post from a couple of weeks ago. That comment, and those that followed, are the type of discussion I’d like to see even more of on this site.

There are many others, of course. But, before I let too much more time pass by, I wanted to take the snarky, sarcastic hat off for just a moment to say thanks.

And with that, we now return to our regularly scheduling programming, already in progress…

New Hire at Oliver Russell

Oliver Russell has added a new face to their staff.

Sara Bahnson joins the agency as an Account Coordinator. She is scheduled to graduate from Boise State University this May, and prior to joining Oliver Russell worked with Davies Rourke, and as a Marketing Coordinator for Seidl Home Company.

Congratulations Sara.
