Have you met the new BAF Board yet?

Recently, our friends at the Boise Advertising Federation sent us some information about this year’s Board of Directors:

BOISE, ID – The Boise Advertising Federation (BAF) elected its 2015/2016 Board of Directors at the organization’s annual installation of the board event in Boise, Idaho.

The BAF has 118 members in Boise, and is sponsored by National CineMedia with in-kind sponsorships from ESP Printing and Hampton Inn.

New Hires at Mitchell + Palmer

And in other new hire news…

Mitchell + Palmer has added to their staff recently:

Andy Petersen has joined the agency in what I’m assuming is an account service type of role. The smoke signals and tea leaves weren’t quite clear on this one, but we’ll go with what we know…  Previously, Andy worked on the account side at Donahoe Pace.  He is a graduate of Boise State University.

Jeremy Oliver has also joined Mitchell + Palmer as a graphic designer. Jeremy is a recent graduate of Boise State University and certain to get picked on for being the new guy, at least until a newer one comes along.

Congratulations to both.
