Holy Dinah. What a Spring!

We've certainly be keeping busy these last few weeks. There's no question, I LOVE it like this.

Put the finishing touches on a Spring newsletter for Sunrise Credit Union. Now we'll concentrate on the Annual Report and a couple of new spring promotions. Enjoyed a lovely visit with Kaydee last evening and took in Derek Edwards at the Burton Cummings Theatre. What a fun group we had assembled including the fab John Rooke from Grant Park Shopping Centre and the effervescent Jamie Heiser.

Speaking of Grant Park, we have a stylish new campaign launching for them on March 21. Will post the new creative after introduce it to the retailers in the mall. Lori Dyck from Wildfire Online will deliver her presentation Get Naked! Marketing in 2011, Social Media. What it means to be in independent business - to the Grant Park merchants next Friday. Lori is the featured speaker at the Advertising Association Luncheon on the 25th and the Grant Park Merchants will get a private sneek peek!

On April 4th our new campaign for the College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Manitoba will hit the streets. I love the creative for this one and really enjoy working with Executive Director Adam Chrobak.







We had the privilege of creating new packaging for building supply company McMunn & Yates. I foresee some very exciting new projects with them in upcoming months. A big shout out to Jayna who just has so many ideas and so much enthusiasm.



Kept very busy working on a new creative concept for Bothwell Cheese. Tons of fun coming up with the new Light Cheddar label. LOVE working with this client.

Created a new brand for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba. Just awaiting final word on their video although the printed material is in the final stages and we'll be starting on the new website very soon.

We developed the McNaught Cadillac GMC Trick up Your Truck Event. Deanna Chura is the hardest working gal in the car biz.





Created new logos for the Communication Media Network and the Health Media Network. Great job Char!




A couple of new business proposals are keeping me pretty busy. I need to get everything taken care of before we head to Peru for Fuze thru Shoes. Fuze is the charitable project my daughter Shea invented. With a goal of getting 150 pairs of shoes donated Shea began the project in November.
Now the trip to Peru is two weeks away and we are taking 450!!!! pairs of shoes.

Of course we're thrilled with the reponse to the new Just Slow Down spots. We have over 25,000 youtube hits. I've presented a new script for the next phase and have received a general approval. Hold on to your hats folks! This one will be a great follow up to the last one.

Not a bad few weeks at the Picanteria. A big shout out to our graphic designer Char who enthusiastically attacks every job with gusto.
