Hanging solidly at 419

On theAd Age Power 150! Who ever said you had to be good at math…

Seriously though, the Power 150 list ranks the top media and marketing blogs, and features some outstanding company, such as AdRants at number 6, and American Copywriter at number 82.

Even to be on the same list at those types of sites is a tremendous honor, especially for this little blog out of Idaho. And while our friends over in Cleveland would like to see a higher position, I’m just thankful to be on the list.

So, to those of you who read, subscribe to, and comment on this site, I say thank you.

Rizen’s on the move

From their little office on Hill Rd. to a new space on 9th Street.

I caught a little blurb in last week’s Idaho Business Review that mentioned Rizen purchased space in the Foster’s Building on 9th.

2,008 square feet should give them some room to stretch their legs.

Spotlight on Carew Co.

A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to sit down for coffee with Paul Carew.

Paul spent the past decade+ with Oliver Russell, most recently as Creative Director.

Then, in the first part of July, he struck out on his own, opening Carew Co. According to Carew Co’s website, “Form needs to function. Creative has to work.” In other words, the pretty pictures alone won’t get results. There has to be a solid plan behind it.

Since Paul started up the shop in early July, he’s kept himself incredibly busy, and from the sounds of it there’s no sign of things slowing down.

To Paul, and everyone else who’s taken that leap of faith to strike out on their own, I offer up a hearty congratulations. It’s a bold step to take, so make the best of it.

Be sure to check out the Carew Co. blog as well for updates and a little peek behind the curtain.
