Hello Friends.

My lack of posting recently isn't because I've stopped blogging (which has happened before), but because we've been swamped with new work.  Which, of course, is a good thing.  I'll blog again about marketing topics soon.

Update on All Things Creative Reason:

• Look for a new name / brand to come out soon from yours truly and partners. 
• I missed take your dog to work day, I wish I'd remembered to bring Bailey, but she would probably would've bark all day at all people coming in our and out of the office.   Maybe it's better that I didn't.  -  By the way, I like the design of that site. 
• I highlighted in my first post here that I finally built a site for Creative Reason because I was testing out functionality with Facebook.  So it only makes sense that I actually use the site.  If you know my email address, find me on facebook.  I have a profile and everything.
• While I'm giving out personal profile info, view my profile on linkedin here.
• My client, The Ticket Guys, have great seats to the upcoming series on 4th of July.  Get your Cards – Cubs tickets from them.  Check them out at www.theticketguys.com.  Also look for news from them soon regarding a give away for tickets to an upcoming event "All Star" game in town and a partnership with a popular local website.  One last thing, if everything works out, they will have a big presence at the Cards-Cub series on July 4th from  The Ticket Guys Cardinals game day location at Paddy O's.

That's it for now.  I'll post again soon, hopefully with more good news.

Cheers,

Brian Schwartz

Bad Advertiser – Target Better
So hey, guess what, in case you haven't heard – analog TV is coming to an end in February 2009.  So if you are using a television antenna, you'll need a special converter box. 

Why do I bring this up?  Well, I have satellite, and I keep seeing commercials for this end coming.  On cable channels.  Or basically the type of channels you can't see if you were using an analog TV with an antenna.  Do you see the problem here?   Seems to me like they are wasting money advertising to people who don't have the problem to begin with.   I hope that isn't taxpayer money.

Cool Random Thing
As I sit here typing this post, my son Gabe who is four months old just rolled over for the first time – 6 times in a row.  I got two of them on our handy camcorder.
