Added by Katy Miller on October 31st, 2008, filed under Culture

We held our annual Halloween bash last Friday and, in true CurrentMarketing style, left no beer unopened and no man, woman or man dressed as a woman standing at the end of the night. Please be kind with your comments, particularly with regard to “Big Red.”

We’re busy. We’re growing. And we’re busy .. did I already mention that?I’m looking for a couple more entry-level geeks to add to CurrentMarketing’s web department. Benefits include plenty of video game talk, free soda, maybe some beer, and you’ll probably even get paid! If you want to come work with a Geek In Charge, [...]

Madison Avenue Memory Lane: The Fall Classic

Added by Jim Deweese on October 29th, 2008, filed under Miscellaneous

I know I’ve said it before, but I love this time of year. It’s late October and the best teams in baseball are battling to see who will be crowned world champion. It’s a time when legends are made and hearts are broken.  (And in case you hadn’t noticed from the first two clips, there [...]

2009 projections take us closer to digital, FINALLY

Added by Katy Miller on October 27th, 2008, filed under Marketing, Media, Miscellaneous

MarketingProfs has released the results of a study of 600+ of its members in which they asked a series of questions about spending for 2009. No surprise that the economy has stymied spending even in 4th quarter and into 2009. I’m extremely pleased to see that their prediction is that the economic situation will expedite [...]

Secrets of the Louisville Chefs

Added by Rob Womack on October 20th, 2008, filed under Miscellaneous, Technology

While gearing up to watch the Daily Show, my wife and I occasionally flip the TV over to the CW, to watch a locally produced show Secrets of Louisville Chefs. I love the idea of this show. Louisville has a lot of great restaurants, and there seem to be more every year. I have several [...]

Yes, I'm asking for MORE laws…

Added by Katy Miller on October 17th, 2008, filed under Media, Technology

Interesting, and alarming, interpretation of Verizon’s move to crank up their SMS rates by 3¢ per message: http://tinyurl.com/48zy5h Mobile Marketer predicts that Verizon’s rate hike could potentially bring down the domestic mobile marketing industry. I don’t feel educated enough to discredit this claim…but if it is true, then I scorn our country’s inability to take [...]

C.S.I. Don’t Really Care Anymore.

Added by Jim Deweese on October 14th, 2008, filed under Culture, Media, Miscellaneous

After years of being one of my favorite shows, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation sort of lost some of its luster for me last season.  And by CSI, I don’t mean CSI Miami, or CSI New York or CSI Okalona, or any of the other abominations that they pass off as television programming. I’m talking about [...]

Opportunity knocks…open the door!

Added by Ashley Baker on October 13th, 2008, filed under Media, Miscellaneous

I was a little bored last night before the Dancing with the Stars Results Show (sorry Kim!), so I decided to check out Opportunity Knocks.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised!  It was actually my favorite new show of the season! I think because Ashton Kutcher is a producer, I was expected to [...]

Spin offs are never as good as their mothers

Added by Ashley Baker on October 10th, 2008, filed under Media

Private Practice debuted its second season last week.  To recap last season, Addison, of Seattle Grace (home to Grey’s Anatomy) moves to LA in search of sunshine and no more Meredith and Derrick drama.  She begins to work at a “private practice” that focuses on alternative medicine. The two heads of the practice used to [...]

Will The Ex List stay fresh?

Added by Ashley Baker on October 9th, 2008, filed under Media, Miscellaneous

Last week I watched the new series “The Ex List” on CBS.  It’s about a 30-something florist, Bella, who visits a psychic that tells her if she wants to ever get married she will have to do it this year or it will never happen.  The catch is that she doesn’t have to meet a [...]
