Two Cents: '09 Addy's

Last night, West Michigan celebrated the Addy's.

There's great work emerging from West Michigan. It's inspiring.*

Congrats, winners. The student Addy's we're equally impressive.

(*A special shout out to our friends at People Design. They won a Gold Addy for their "izzy is" video for Izzy Design. We helped in the process with recording + editing Chuck's voiceover. Watch People Design's magic below).



Our entry was Creo Boggle. No ice was won, but we're still proud of the idea.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Ad Club's Creative Crawl. We had a great time talking with new and old friends. Let us know what you think about the space (and the sound of Finnish-American piano rock echoing from the audio studio). See you at the Addy's tomorrow night.

-Aaron, Andrew, Matthew and Derek

The Projection Initiative

In case you missed the short-film premier, here's Rapid Growth's story on Brian Kelly's Projection Initiative. Celebrate Heartside was the first piece projected on the side of a parking ramp in downtown GR. It was a great project to be involved in...
