Special Screening: ART & COPY

You’ve likely heard about it.  I’ve written about it.  And now, there’s a screening coming to Boise.

ART & COPY will be showing on Thursday, March 18th at the Egyptian Theatre in downtown Boise.  The film is presented locally by Drake Cooper, and proceeds from the screening will benefit the non-profit organization TrICA (Treasure Valley Institute for Children’s Arts).

For those not yet familiar with the film:

ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray, it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time — people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry.

Tickets can be purchased online, at the Egyptian Theatre’s box office, or at the door the day of the show.

Top Nine of 2009

Curious as to which Idaho Ad Agencies posts were the most popular last year? Well, I was.  So below you’ll find the top posts of 2009, based on traffic to individual posts.

  1. Your Thoughts: The Idaho Lottery
  2. Rockies – The Winners: Public Relations
  3. Changes at Drake Cooper
  4. Idaho Lottery Awards Marketing Services Contract to DaviesMoore
  5. The New Boise Agency Suspense is Over
  6. Hey Boise: Portland’s Talking Smack
  7. Rockies – The Winners: Public Service
  8. Spotlight on Creative: To Hell With Prep
  9. Ignite Boise 02

A couple of disclaimers: The site was moved over to it’s current location in April of last year, so numbers from the first few months could be a bit off.  Also, since you can read individual posts on the home page without clicking through, that (most likely) has impacted the numbers as well.

But there you have it.  And off we roll into 2010.

[Insert Appropriate Holiday-Related Headline Here]

Sorry, I just couldn’t bring myself to write a holiday-related headline this early in the season.  But the fact of the matter is that ‘the season’ is here.  And here’s one notable example:

Drake Cooper is putting on their Second Annual Turkey Drive, benefiting the Idaho Food Bank.  As they did last year, the folks at Drake are collecting turkeys to be donated to the Idaho Food Bank.  This year’s drive takes place on Friday, November 13th from 8:00am – 12:00pm.  Coffee and doughnuts will be available for everyone who brings in a turkey.

Another twist this year involves a little friendly competition: The agency/company/group that brings in the most turkeys this year will receive a prize package (of course you’re all free to write down Idaho Ad Agencies as the organization — really, I wouldn’t mind).
