We kept the Telly Award-makers busy, again

by keller crescent - Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

(One more way our agency is stimulating the economy.)

Luckily, they didn’t break the mold when we entered the 2009 Telly Awards, because we took home four Telly statuettes: two Silver - the Telly’s highest honor - and two Bronze.

The Telly Awards, founded in 1978, is one of the industry’s most sought-after awards recognizing creative excellence in local, regional and cable television commercials. Every year, thousands of entries are received from all 50 states and many continents.

Many thanks go to our clients for believing in our creative work. Without them, these Tellys would not have been possible.

the death of Sky

by Randy Rohn Executive Creative Director - Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Sky Saxon of the Seeds passed away on June 25. One of the great garage-rock bands of the 60s, Muddy Waters called the Seeds “America’s Rolling Stones.” The group had two hits, Pushin’ Too Hard and Can’t Seem to Make You Mine.

Besides the music, the Seeds were involved in two of he strangest video artifacts from the 60s. One is an appearance on a typical sixties sit-com, The Mothers-in-Law. Listen carefully and you can hear their music referred to as “gassy.” The Seeds’ music was also used in a dance video by the late, great Betty Page.

like a rolling beatle

by Randy Rohn Executive Creative Director - Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Recently in Rolling Stone Magazine, Bob Dylan mused that he would someday like to write some songs with Paul McCartney.

Well before you could say  “These times they are a changin” Paul responded that he would be up for it, any time at all.

Rumor has it that the pair are going to meet up this summer and spend a couple months writing songs and putting together an album. And they’ll get a little help from their friend, a drummer named Ringo Starr.  Which means it will be all the surviving Beatles and Dylan together. It’s getting better all the time.

Uncreative

by Randy Rohn Executive Creative Director - Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

By now, you’ve probably seen the new “Unfried” campaign for KFC. It’s a great concept, positioning the new skinless grilled product against the old KFC and using an unusual word construction to get across the point that KFC doesn’t just stand for Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore. In fact, the whole “un” idea has all the elements of great advertising: strong positioning, graphics and copy that reinforce the selling message, well-crafted executions and a memorable hook.
