For my first blog...ever, I would like to share my perspective of CM from my front desk receptionist position. I have had the privilege of working here at CM for the past 6 months, and have loved every minute of it. Here at CM we have our own culture, started and developed by our "Culture [...]
We have two new friends at CurrentMarketing – The Duke of Goldington and Sir Goldshire! Yep, that's right - TWO GOLD LOUIES!!! Congrats to our creative team for their work on the Masterson's Catering logo and the Little German Polka Hero interactive game. Way to go, Arica, Rob, Steve and Brandon!
Before I was a part of CurrentMarketing’s social media team, I was a photojournalist. As a photographer you think of photojournalism as changing the world one well composed frame at a time. I’ve been a part of some great storytelling, but as a freelancer it seemed more often than not I was standing at a [...]
This question has been on my mind lately. Outside of the obvious need for food, shelter and clothing - for ourselves and our family (if that applies) - why do YOU work? For me, it's something I really enjoy doing. I've always loved art, graphics, words (gray matter), ads, photos, films, etc. One of my [...]
Like many years, 2011 was a mixed bag for us at CurrentMarketing. Without any doubt, all of our "ups" far outnumbered our "downs."

This is the third in a 3-part series on what to get for the advertising professional who has everything. Today: The Geek. Around our office, the term "geek" isn't the insult it is in most places. At Current, the Geeks are the fine folks who make our websites and smartphone apps sing and dance. Without [...]
This is the first in a 3-part series on what to get for the advertising professional who has everything. Today: The Designer. Designers can be tough to buy for. Most of them are high-strung and temperamental and they tend to lash out when provoked. And since they don't usually wear ties to the office, that [...]
Return of the... Duuuude, Patty, Lucas Oil, Luuuuuke, or whatever you may call me here. I’m back! Two short years ago I decided to leave CurrentMarketing, sell my car, sell my soul to student loans and move to Chicago to study Media Arts and Animation at The Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago. While I [...]
‘Tis the season when I think most people take some time to reflect on the year, and their lives in general. I have been doing a lot of that since our son, Ben, went to be with the Lord on June 26th of this year. I am very thankful for so many things. I have [...]
Before departing yesterday afternoon, each of the bulbs here at CM was asked "what are you grateful for today?" I love these kinds of questions because, as you can imagine with this group, the answers can be amusing, obtuse, arresting, thought-provoking and sometimes all of the above. Here's what I heard back: That we're getting [...]
