Advertising and Marketing Tips

Posts Tagged ‘project’

I’m working on a project that requires advertising – Nixon would be great – I’m sure they’d go for it – I just can’t find anyway of contacting them directly – same goes for Diesel
YEAH OK THAT NIXON SITE IS DIFFERENT TO THE ONE I FOUND INITIALLY AND DOES HAVE A CONTACT ADDRESS …COOL

BUT THAT DIESEL ONE DOESN’T – INFURIATING!

I’ve extended the duration of this question

can anyone help me find elusive fashion contacts?

I am a commercial artist, and my “full-time job” is designing, editing, and publishing magazines. There is a ton of production work in producing an 84-page mag. I am supposed to share the graphics work with a colleague, but he NEVER HELPS me, and takes days – sometimes a week – to finish very simple, small advertisements that any normal artist can do in an hour or two.

We just recently published a magazine and I worked nearly 90 hours last week building ads, editing copy, designing pages, et cetera. I received no help from my colleague, who left early almost every day that week.

I work in a small office, and do not want to cause drama. Our Publisher won’t say anything to this person, despite me, the Advertising Director and the Salespeople complaining about him nearly every day.

What should I do? Technically, this guy is the Art Director, so I can’t really “pull rank” and make him do things. I do not want to quit my job, but am at the end of my rope. What should I do?
My Publisher will not fire the guy. Eight months ago, he told me that he was firing him and giving me a raise and another full-time artist. That was the only time I have ever even heard him say anything about it.

This guy calls in at least twice a week, and all of the other employees (include me) laugh and wonder if he is somehow holding something over our Publisher’s head. It sounds ridiculous, but there is little else we can think of as to why our boss would keep this guy on staff.

I take an in-depth look at the various methods companies use to advertise their products to children.

I’m in Austin, looking to start an open source project to build a Context Management System.

Web 1.0 was the age of content, and hence the Content Management Systems (Vignette, et al). Web 2.0 is the age of context. Learning to manage context, and letting go of content, is a whole new ball of wax.

The purpose of the project is to allow ad-hoc formation of peer groups for small and large scale projects. In a real sense, this is a boot-strapping project. If such a thing existed, I’d be using it right now to create this project — but of course, this project would then be unnecessary, and I would be able to focus my attention on other issues of interest, like: adult developmental stages, emergence, cultural transformation, etc.

People in Silicon Valley just advertise that they are having a coding party. People in Central Texas barely grok del.icio.us. How can we best close the gap?
