Please Feed The Animals

•The pictured logo won by a landslide. Final tally: 222-43.

•Designers have been working feverishly to finish production of the new site. We finally embraced the “many hands” mantra and asked for 1-2 days from a half dozen designers instead of a month from one. I always hoped that PFTA would be “by and for unemployed advertising talent.” I didn’t dream it would happen so quickly.

•Scheduled to meet with Skookum this afternoon to discuss a time line for launch.

•Be on the lookout for the official PFTA Facebook and LinkedIn pages. Those will be up and running by next week.

•You might remember Greg Thomas from this post back in November. Ever since he was my boss at Brokaw, I’ve had immense respect for his approach and intellect toward advertising. Well, Greg has agreed to be my business partner for Please Feed The Animals. I’m honored. You’ll be hearing more from and about Greg as we approach launch and beyond.

•A few people have been emailing me that they are getting interviews and job offers through contacts made on this site. I can’t tell you how happy that makes me. Please, keep informing me if that happens for you. I have no way of knowing otherwise.

That’s it for now. Good luck everyone.
