Attending the Chamber luncheon.

The whole Picante crew, as well as our pals from Elemental will be attending the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce luncheon today. We've also invited George Fraser from the Massage Therapists of Manitoba. As a former deputy mayor, George is always interested in what leaders like Gail Asper have to say about their vision for Winnipeg's future.

We're just finishing off the Pieces of the Puzzle video for the Children's Asthma Education Centre. The video, shot and edited in-house with exciting graphics from Elemental will help families dealing with their children's asthma learn to control the condition and live more comfortably.

We're continuing to work on the Role Model profiles for the Edwards School of Business and have some innovative ideas for the print package we're working on for them. The website development is underway and we're developing the script for the documentary. I'm so proud of this project.

Kathryne, Shaun and I, along with Lori from Elemental are headed to Regina tomorrow for the Image Committee meeting. Can't wait to debut Saskatchewan Rocks! our new viral campaign.

Exciting Times!

This fall will see some very exciting launches for Picante and our clients.

We'll soon be presenting Saskatchewan Rocks! a dynamic new viral marketing campaign for the Saskatchewan credit unions. The outstanding team at Elemental Motion Media have done a great job of not only capturing the vision of what we were looking for, but also making the production experience smooth and timely. We can't wait for October 1st when the Saskatchewan credit union image committee will get their first peek.

We're equally thrilled about the progress on the Edwards School of Business Role Model Campaign. It's been a busy summer as we've completed 4 shoots in Saskatoon collecting profiles on 24 amazing First Nations and Metis Role Models. Their stories are inspiring and powerful. The goal is to encourage Aboriginal students to consider a business degree or getting their MBA at the Edwards School of Business. It has been a real privilege for us to work on this project. Again, Elemental Motion Media as well as Energy Films have been great partners on this project.

We've just received a go ahead on a new campaign for the Massage Therapists of Manitoba. George and his committee at MTAM are just some of the nicest people we've ever worked with. How lucky are we??

We're keeping really busy and are enjoying a productive season. Shaun is looking after the implementation of a new project management software system. And..we're thinking about painting the office.

So that's the latest news from Picante.
