Street level views of marketing & advertising in Idaho
Mitchell + Palmer continues to make moves and show some momentum. Most recently, they announced that they’ve added Kourtney Flaherty to their staff as Production Manager.
Prior to joining Mitchell + Palmer Kourtney spent several years with Oliver Russell, and was most recently E-Communications Manager at Treasure Valley Family YMCA.
Congratulations Kourtney.
Earlier this year Mitchell + Palmer moved into their new office space on Bogus Basin Road in Boise. Now, they’re finally ready to have an open house / house party and break in the office the right way
More details about the party are available here: M+P: A Full Service Open House Party
Maybe it’s the time of year. Perhaps it’s the amount of vacant office space available. Or it could be something entirely different. No matter how you look at it, there’s a whole lot of moving going on in the agency world lately.
For example:
Red Sky Public Relations: Red Sky recently (well, within the past six months or so) moved their office from the space on 9th Street to what used to be Balihoo’s space down in BoDo.
Mitchell + Palmer: The folks at Mitchell + Palmer have moved north just a bit, leaving their space on Hill Road for what we presume to be a larger location off of Bogus Basin Road, and judging by the number of new faces around their shop, the extra space was sorely needed.
c308 Marketing: c308 left the familiar halls of the Hoff Building and moved into a space at 14th & Idaho, across from the WaterCooler.
Stoltz Marketing Group: After more than a decade on Main Street, above two restaurants – first Zutto, now Flatbread Community Oven – Stoltz Marketing Group is moving to the Cornerstone Building at 9th and River. Not one to mess with a trend, they’ll still be above a restaurant. This time, however, it’ll be a few floors up from Cottonwood Grille.
DaviesMoore: The most recent shop (that we know of, at least) to throw their hat into the moving ring, DaviesMoore recently signed a lease for space in the 805 Idaho Building (also known as the Boise National Bank Building), according to the listings in the Idaho Business Review. If I had to venture a guess, I’d suspect they’ll be moving by the end of the summer.
Are there others that we’ve missed?
UPDATE:
Glaring oversight on my part — Noot Group recently moved as well – from their space on Broadway to a new location in Bown Crossing. (Thanks for the reminder James).
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.
Mitchell + Palmer in Boise has added two well-known names to their team: copywriter and creative director, Tom Donahoe, and art director and designer, Jeremy “Jerms” Lanningham.
Donahoe, formerly of Donahoe Pace and Partners joins the agency as a partner and co-creative director. He has worked on brands, like Alaska and Horizon Airlines, Pepsi, Oberto, and Coors Light. Closer to home, Donahoe has been responsible for creative work on the Humanitarian Bowl, Boise State University, Cap Ed, and United Heritage.
Lanningham, who specializes in design and illustration, joins the agency from NKTRNL, an illustration and design studio he founded in 1999. His clients include Burton, Gnu, Omatic Snowboards, TransWorld Media and 686. Locally he has worked with Newt & Harolds, Flying M Coffeehouse, Prestige, Smith Sport Optics, and the Boise Weekly.
Congratulations to both Tom and Jerms. And hearty ‘well done’ to Mitchell + Palmer for snagging two extremely talented people.
