As week #1 at Bozell is coming to a close, the only thought in my head is “slow down summer! You’re going too fast!” It’s hard to believe, but I already love this place and these people, and I don’t ever want this summer internship to end. And you know you’ve had a great first week at work when your fellow interns have already prank joked you. (Any ideas for retribution are welcome!) It’s almost impossible to describe how amazing this week has been or how excited I am to spend the rest of the summer with these people, but I’ll give it a go. Read More

Woo hoo! Less than a month. I can’t wait.  We’ve worked with the CWS of Omaha, Inc. for many years and it’s always exciting, but this year with the new stadium downtown (and oh so close to our new office) it is especially exhilarating.  It’s a whole new chapter.

On Wednesday, we threw our first party — an Open Agency party to welcome our clients, vendors, downtown neighbors and other friends to our new downtown space.

Thanks to all who joined us!

Missed it? There will be more parties to come.  But in the meantime, check out this video of the space’s transformation from an open warehouse last October into the dynamic creative space it is today, and our party photo gallery.

Check out the photos from our party on our Facebook page.

You don’t necessarily have to do things yourself if you want it done right, but sometimes, it can be awfully rewarding. We’ve got a flurry of activity going on around the office in advance of our open house. It’s not just the cleaning and organizing and standard preparations that you’d expect. We’re building furniture, moving walls, rearranging things, hanging signs and lights – we’re advancing the design of our space and creating a special environment. And it’s a lot of fun. Read More

It’s hard for most of us to truly visualize or imagine something different from what we know until it’s very real. So any change from what we’ve come to know or are comfortable with can, and often does, create resistance and fear — fear of the unknown or an expectation that we will lose something. Which was certainly the case with the new TD Ameritrade Park stadium. Read More

I’ve been dealing with a large copier manufacturer – a household name in copiers. They are a nightmare from hell. Their service is dismal and they find endless ways of charging us extra when we call for things that should have been part of a normal maintenance program. Read More

Poor little Tate Dillow (you don’t really believe that name do you?) is Domino’s hired-gun chicken chef. Why do you think he chose to be a chicken chef? Is it because his face resembles a cartoon chicken? Read More

A J.Crew advertisement gaining lots of blog buzz this week shows a mom painting her son’s toenails pink with the caption “Lucky for me, I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink.” The ad features a photo of J. Crew President Jenna Lyons painting bright pink polish on her young son’s toenails. Read More

I remember when I subscribed to – and purchased – my first Groupon.  They happened simultaneously when a local tapas restaurant that I’d been dying to try ever since I moved to Omaha offered me 50% off sangria and snack-sized tastes of Spain. The promise of a new dining experience and an inbox regularly filled with great deals seemed almost too good to be true.

On the opening night of a new theatre in Omaha in 1910, a newsboy sat on a curb watching the city’s elite enter the building to join the celebration. A particularly elegantly dressed couple caused a stir as they stepped from their car. The newsboy had to know who they were. A policeman told the boy it was Mr. and Mrs. Robert Manley. Manley was advertising manager of the Brandeis Store.
