The holiday season is in full swing, and we’re starting to see the usual ‘Happy Holidays’ greetings popping up on various website. This one in particular, has much much more.
A stop over at es/drake’s website revealed a fancy little snow globe on the home page, as well as some big news:
Es/drake is now Drake Cooper.
For the long time reader, you’ll remember that Jamie Cooper joined the agency as Chief Operating Officer back in 2006. He has since become a partner in the agency, and the name change is reflective of that.
Also, what is now Drake Cooper will be moving out of their long-held office space on 9th Street to their own, newly remodeled building in BoDo. That move is slated to happen mid month, so hopefully there won’t be too many moving-related snafus.

As I expected it would, an earlier post highlighting some local pro bono work generated some response. Here’s a quick update on what a few other shops are working on:
DNA Advertising:
DNA Advertising teamed with Dutch Bros. Coffee and Peak Broadcasting to collect books for Mercy Housing, which is building a library for different communities. Mercy Housing helps people find affordable housing and offers after school programs for children.
DNA, along with Blackfin Technology, is also working on a re-branding campaign for The Arc.
Es/drake:
Es/drake redesigned Zoo Boise’s website.
Es/drake also donated quite a bit of time and effort to the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Live Large Give Large activities earlier this year.
Others? Just let me know.

Word in the street is that there’s change afoot. Stay tuned for more.
I have to give credit to shops that go out of their way to help their community. Oliver Russell’s o-pen purse program has been a long-standing example of such.
Today I happened upon another example.
Rizen Creative recently completed and launched a new website for the Boise Area Crime Stoppers. The site was done on a pro bono basis, led by Rizen’s Javier Barrera.
Now before everyone jumps down my throat, I’m sure that for every example such as this that I mention, there are a hundred that go unnoticed. I won’t dispute that fact. The only way I way I know to change it — send me any tips or news that you’d like to share.
