  • Cirque du Soleil Teams Up With Google

    September 20th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Cirque du Soleil has teamed up with Google to create Movi.Kanti.Revo, an interactive experience that uses a new function that allows the browser to access your microphone and camera without additional software. What that creates is the ability to guide yourself through the Cirque du Soleil-created world only using simple gestures.

    AAF Las Vegas just announced their latest event. A luncheon with SK+G's Jim Gentleman recapping their time on AMC's ad-show The Pitch. Should be interesting to hear the insiders perspective as well as see the final work.

  • Carry On Prince Harry...

    August 23rd, 2012 / Comments (0)

    If you live in Vegas and haven't been under a rock, you've heard the news that Prince Harry had a really, um... good time here in Vegas this past weekend.

    With nude photos and late night pool romping with Ryan Lochte, he certainly lived up to the "What Happens Here, Stays Here" mantra. However, he did not confiscate all cell phones. Rookie mistake.

    Local agency R&R Partners put this together as a tribute to Harry's antics. The quick turnaround was ideal for social. Which, at the time of posting this, was sharing the image around at a zesty speed.

    Well done.

  • MPLS-ians Packing Up and Heading West for Inspiration

    August 16th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Ahhhhh, to be young again. Four local Minneapolis young ad professionals have partnered together and launched "Creative Go West." The project is "a documentary about four creatives going west in search of inspiration — risking life, limb and Dysentery in the name of creative enlightenment." The group is made up of Grant Spanier - Writer/Designer formerly in Digitaria's internship, Laura Fitzpatrick - an Account Planner formerly in Campbell Mithun's Lucky 13, Vince Koci - a Copywriter formerly at Campbell Mithun, and Jake Woodbridge - Filmmaker currently contracting with HOM Furniture on projects.

    "The biggest motivator for this trip is curiosity. It's a trait the group enthusiastically shares," stated Grant. They will be hitting 6 cities (Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Denver) and 13 states in 14 days. Armed with the question: "What inspires you?" Along the way they'll be visiting different creative inspiring stops along with a long list of agencies including 72andSunny, Draplin Design Co., Victor & Spoils, MGM Grand (to gamble), and more. Want to be a creative or agency featured in their final video when they arrive back in the Twin Cities? Reach out to Grant via grantspanier@gmail.com and be sure to help support this young band of creatives by donating on their site.

    Be sure to check back here for video updates on their oregon trail across the country and follow the twitter feeds of Grant, Laura, Vince, and Jake for live news.

  • Penn & Teller Take Vegas To Orlando

    August 13th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    I guess if you can't beat Vegas, copy it, and nuke it. At least that's what Universal Studios Orlando is doing this Fall with their haunted house. Penn & Teller bring New(kd) Las Vegas to the theme park.

    We're interested to see how this takes. We feel a year round haunted house could be a successful attraction nobody has taken on yet. Particularly if it really was Vegas. And not the family friendly Orlando experience.

    Either way, we're happy to share Penn & Teller with the country. As long as it all ties back to Vegas.

    Check out the promo video (albeit pretty awful).

  • NY Agency Burson-Marsteller Wins Nevada Tourism Account

    July 24th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    It's official. Burson-Marstellar out of New York has been announced as the winner of the Nevada Commission on Tourism account. Worth a reported $3 Million dollars, the discussion of this piece of business going out of state is already in full swing. 19 agencies responded to the RFP, 11 from out of state.

    As locals, we will be very interested to see what type of work the out-of-towners come up with for our unique state. It's not an easy challenge when most people only know of Las Vegas, Reno and Tahoe.

    Looks like this month's Brand Beers is hosted by MassMedia. And the trek is to Henderson. We like the Free Beer angle this event has started taking on.
