Request Your Advance Ballot Today!

by Kristin Brighton on July 26, 2010

We don’t care who you vote for (well, really, we do, but we avoid political bickering around here). But we definitely think all Americans should vote! So, even though we politely decline political ads, we were excited at the opportunity to put together the 2010 “Vote! Kansas” spot for the Kansas Secretary of State’s Office (because good citizenship crosses party lines).

A Kansas Shout-Out

by Lisa Sisley on July 6, 2010

Ken (my saint-like husband; one “friend” pointed out to me that I certainly married up, and he’s right) and I went to see “Knight and Day” recently. The movie itself isn’t really blog-worthy, except for this: It made several mentions of Kansas without ONCE referencing Dorothy, ruby slippers, tornadoes or flying monkeys.

A Rant About Network TV, DVR, and Social Media

by Kristin Brighton on May 27, 2010

I can’t remember the last time I watched something on live TV. As a working mom with two kids, I DVR practically everything I view. I even watched K-State post-season basketball on DVR. Give the game a few minutes head start while doing the dishes, and then skip through the agonizing TV timeouts. Now, as someone in the marketing and communications business, admitting my growing dependence on DVR might seem…well…bad for business.

by Kristin Brighton on May 20, 2010

Community planning takes into consideration a multitude of factors as a community grows. However, one factor many fail to consider is marketing. Newton, Kansas, however, is not one of them.

A Really Big Show!

by Lisa Sisley on May 19, 2010

I was in Chicago for the BIO International Convention May 3-6 helping out K-State and the Biosecurity Research Institute. How did I help? By using my best asset…my brain, of course! Get your mind out of the gutter.

A Completely Biased Testimonial

by Susan Religa on May 7, 2010

This is probably one of the greatest things ever written. Though, in the interests of full disclosure, I am her mother.

Client Spotlight: All About Quilts

by Susan Religa on March 16, 2010

Frustration prompted Karen Malone, owner of All About Quilts, to call us. She was tired of fighting with her website to make simple changes, and she was definitely interested in making it a real sales tool for her business.

Robert Parker, RIP

by Lisa Sisley on February 26, 2010

Author Robert Parker died on January 18, and my family has been mourning ever since: Parker’s books are a shared experience among us, especially the books starring his main protagonist, Spenser (no first name), a Boston private detective. We’ve all read many, many Spenser novels, as well as Parker’s Sunny Randall and Jesse Stone series (I’m not so hot on Jesse Stone, but my mom is a big fan because the enduringly gorgeous Tom Selleck plays him in the TV movies).

You Don’t Want a Flash Site (Because It Will Suck)

by Shawn Dryden on February 23, 2010

I was recently alerted to a new company (they will remain nameless because of the obvious shame) and went to their website to check them out. When I pulled up the site, I was slowly filled with sadness, mirroring the little animation on the screen that ran while I waited for it to load. The site had been built in Flash and it was terrible.
