    December 10th, 2009 / Comments (5)

    We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Between the likes of ESPI, Adamator, runrobot, Spillt, Stileloot, a handful of others and our newest discovery, Subkast (aka Brandon Wheatley), there’s a grip of motion graphics and animation talent here in Colorado. We hope you’re taking advantage of that fact.

    Brandon’s been solidifying his motion work over the last half-decade, working at Xylem Digital, Factory Design Labs and most recently during the last year as a freelancer. As a lancer, he’s created a combination of web and broadcast motion projects for Audi, Vail Resorts, Jack Link’s, SanDisk, Charter Business and more. And he deserves to be busy. You’ll find Subkast on our list of Recommended Talent under Motion Production when you need the dazzle.

  • $6.5 Million Earned off Twitter

    December 10th, 2009 / Comments (0)

    DELL has reported they’ve made $6,500,000 off Twitter promotions in the last two years. For a multi-billion dollar company, that is a small drop in a large bucket, but it’s still interesting to see substantial numbers come out of the otherwise elusive web service.

    The war that sees energy drinks trying to one-up each other is taking place in their advertising these days. Here’s a rowdy new piece from Cult Energy Drink that plays out a youngster’s oy-boy fantasies. Bloguerrilla reminds us of the spot’s similarity to the Prodigy and Justice videos posted below.

  • El Monté Grill and Lounge Campaign Via Burns Marketing Communications

    December 9th, 2009 / Comments (6)

    For a new, higher-end Fort Collins restaurant called El Monté Grill and Lounge owned by the same group as The (margarita-rifiic) Rio, Burns Marketing Communication, Johnstown has just launched a new campaign – featuring outdoor, radio and social experimentation.

    Using the tagline ‘Gratify Your Gusto,’ Burns positioned the restaurant as a Latin-inspired experience so that the chefs can explore all kinds of foods and flavors without being limited by anything particular. That way, they can serve margaritas and this fancy drink called an Esteban (basically a Tanqueray 10 mojito), delicious tacos and guacamole, filet mignon, sugar-cane skewered shrimp and scallops, and whatever else they dream up.
