Yes, I have been away for a while. The reason being that I have left my advertising gig and spent a month working my little side project. In addition to that, I recently have taken over as Director of Digital Marketing for Vaillancourt Folk Art. I have noticed that I am not the only one on a small vacation from the blog world…so I don’t feel too bad.

For your entertainment, I have included one of my favorite title sequences inspired by Saul Bass. Enjoy.

Just think that its noteworthy that Worcester, MA has finally taken its title as New England’s second largest city over Rhode Island’s capital, Providence for the first time since being bumped to third in 2001. The Worcester Telegram and Gazette cites the US Census Bureau’s estimate that July of 2006 pushes Worcester, MA over Providence, RI by a mere 199 people (at 175,454 total population).

I know this isn’t directly related to advertising, but my rationale is that advertising needs to break free from the clutter in order to be effective… d u t c h t u b does just that. This new portable hot tub, which has an interesting design is a new crave. Although, coming from overseas, it will cost you nearly $6,000 if you don’t want to buy one, you can rent one for any function you might be having. The web site also shows people busing their dutchtubs on ski-trips with them. Different and new.

Running on Boston’s Channel 7 news (WHDH-TV) in the morning. A follow up to Starring - ME!. I don’t know about you, but this makes me want to open an account…. (also, take a look at the new site that we did for them http://www.agreatbank.com, what you can’t see is the 100% customizable admin side to manage content, ads, product experts, and the other “great” stuff).

Found this great video and thought that I would share it.
