Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
As Don Day first reported at BoiseDev.com a few days ago, Boise and other areas around the Treasure Valley are currently serving as locations for a Toyota commercial shoot.
The shoot began over the weekend, and is scheduled to wrap today.
More details are available at BoiseDev.
We’ve heard of a few new hires and additions recently. Here are some we’ve come across:
Jodi Sali, Senior Copywriter & Director of Production, DaviesMoore
Jodi joins DaviesMoore after a 20+ year career in radio that included on-air, engineering and production roles. Most recently, he was Director of Production Awesomeness at Town Square Media.

Another recent DaviesMoore addition, Kristin received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Humboldt State University, and was previously with Conservation Voters For Idaho (CVI) as a Membership, Events, and Communication Coordinator.

Who else have we missed?
Another Rockie Awards show is in the books.
There was food. And drinks. And revelry.
Oh, and awards were handed out, of course. Our friend and occasional contributor Don Day live tweeted some of them:

Drake Cooper took home Best of Show for their Don’t Fail Idaho work on behalf of the J.A. & Kathryn Albertson Foundation.
Art Gregory was recognized with the Silver Medal Award.
Although he was on vacation in Tanzania when it happened, a collective toast was raised to Bill Drake for his lifetime of work in this crazy business we call advertising, and he received a lifetime membership to the Boise Advertising Federation.
All in all, it was a solid show at an outstanding venue. A hearty ‘well done’ to everyone who helped put on the show.
And the show got started with this fantastic piece of work from John Eames and the folks at North by Northwest:
Here at Idaho Ad Agencies, we’ve long counted on tips and contributions from others, and for years Don Day’s Idaho Radio News site was one we turned to for all things radio-related.
And today we’re happy to announce that Don has now become a contributor to the Idaho Ad Agencies site. Look for posts from him, and his unique perspective on the media, advertising and marketing from time to time.
Welcome aboard Don.
