Random Work Update Numero Uno

Since Miranda, our summer intern, was cut down in her prime by the evil academia, I guess it's my duty to write something blog-worthy. Let me tell you, however, that the injustice that has befallen her will not go quietly into the night.

We shall smite thee, oh-mighty-scholars-whose-craniums-are-ever-so-deeply-embedded-
within-your-own-posteriors.

Sounds kinda harsh, but hey, we're effectively depleted of our summer go-getter, er, marketing apprentice. See ya in '08, Miranda.

Anyway, back to the random work update. I thought it would be a good opportunity to let y'all know what we've been up to as of late. Let the amazement begin.

First off, we're proud to announce that we recently won a prized piece of national print work from one of our favorite clients, DAD'S Pet Care. It's an FSI for their various premium dog treats that will be inserted into Sunday papers across the nation this coming summer. Yay, us.


We've been working with the folks at Hamot to help promote their outstanding Physician Network. We've created some TV, some print, some radio and some billboards around town. We also went a more non-traditional route to help spread the be you. be healthy. message. If you've been inside one of the hospital's elevators recently, you'll know what I mean. If not, allow me to illuminate you via the magical .jpg:

He's not Dr. 90210, but I guess you could say Dr. Gunnar Bergqvist is a celebrity in his own right. He's one of the most heralded plastic surgeons in our area, and we've been lucky enough to begin a working relationship with him as well. We're in the midst of a new branding campaign for Gunnar, and below is the first of several newspaper ads in development. Actually, this ad ran a few weeks back in the Erie Times Sunday Living Section, and then the following Thursday on the back cover of Showcase. On a personal note, I can't wait for my calf implants to get here.


Oh, here's a fun little billboard we just did for the Quinn Law Firm's personal injury team.


On to other notes of interest:

We're finishing up a direct mail piece for Time Warner Cable in Dallas. This will be sent to a little over 300,000 households throughout North Texas.

We're currently in development of websites for C&J Industries in Meadville, PHB, Custom Engineering, Lamjen and Venango Machine.

We're putting the finishing touches on corporate ID and brochure for Willowbrook Employment Services, Inc.

There's a bunch of other stuff, too, like TV that's running for Community Health Net and the Erie County Recycling Program. Oh, and we're waiting to hear back from proposals we sent to the Erie Philharmonic, the Junior League of Erie and RailPower. Fingers & toes crossed.

Ok, I'm done. Tonight's the Hip show. Gotta go.
