Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
A quick reminder: The Boise Advertising Federation’s event featuring Adscam’s George Parker is only a week away. Be sure to RSVP soon for this one, as I’m sure they’ll have a big crowd.
And don’t forget that The Naughties will be playing that evening as well.
The Boise Advertising Federation kicks off it’s annual speaker series with decorated copywriter, one-of-a-kind blogger, and “change artist extraordinaire” George Parker.
George, notorious for his writing on AdScam, author of MadScam and The Ubiquitous Persuaders, and contributor to PSFK, aims to “bring the goodness back to our rapidly evolving industry, even if it means pissing a whole lot of people off.”
