Housekeeping

We finally got around to cleaning the office. Perhaps in celebration of spring or something.

Our first intern, Dan, started this week. Yesterday, in fact. We'll post his image here soon. Dan's a junior at MCAD and we're thrilled he's with us. You'll see some of his work soon. We've got him concocting ideas for our first birthday surprise/event/web-enabled gizmo. Trust us, the whole 3G iPhone release will pale in comparison.

We've also been working with some awesome new people in Florida, Massachusetts and California. We continue to be amazed at how much easier it is now to collaborate with wonderful people across distance, and you honestly don't sense the distance.

Our bookkeepers started this week as well. It's amazing how we managed to get through almost an entire first year of operations without them. But they are now on task, and whipping us into shape. Thank you, bookkeepers!

And we've been steadily adding to the equipment rolls. Thank you, Apple, HP, etc. Nice to spend money with you, too.

All of which is now causing us to look into new real estate ideas.

Meanwhile, projects of all shapes and sizes are brewing. We wrapped an online ad campaign for our pals at Kruskopf Coontz and 3M. You'll soon see more work soon for PwC, as well as a UGC-oriented project for a nifty corporate collaboration. And other stuff.

Oh, and did we mention we've started an entirely new company?

Right. Well, it's called BannerPalooza. Our motto: "There are no small ads, only small people."

BannerPalooza is an online display ad production warehouse. You have the ideas, and BannerPalooza produces them. From storyboards, to all the Flash bits--simple animations, video, data integration, to QA and trafficking. We work with your media team and the distribution networks to insure your intentions get built properly, on-time and on-budget. We've got a talented rolodex of producers and Flash experts standing by.

And so it goes.
