  • RGG Photo's Brian Cummings & Rob Grimm Launch New Sites

    November 16th, 2011 / Comments (4)

    One of our previously featured photographers Brian Cummings & studio mate Rob Grimm recently launched their separate portfolio sites recently after a much needed upgrade from what we remember being a flash-based site that didn't quite do their work justice. Now, the images are the front & center focus of the new layout while the design takes a backseat.

    View Brian's Site here. View Rob's site here.


    Here's Kevin Kelly from Anti-Agency with some thought-process behind the sites:

    We wanted to take aspects from some of the most recent photography sites we've seen, tweak the functionality and cut the fat to exhibit exactly what we've always wanted in a site like this without that red-headed, bastard-stepchild Flash. Brian & Rob's work are both incredible to look at in their own right and we tried to trim down any extraneous design elements where possible to showcase their ridiculous skills with the camera.

    None of the ideas would've worked without the close collaboration of The Able Few. They helped make the site concepts feasible and functional while integrating an awesome & easily customizable ruby on rails CMS; the real beauty of these sites is all behind the curtain.






    We're happy to see these two talented local photographers getting a unique treatment for their portfolios and hope to see more quality projects coming out of all of these creative shops in the future.

  • Rodgers Townsend Holds Fifth Annual Fall Forum for College Students

    November 16th, 2011 / Comments (0)

    We're not sure why more agencies don't open their doors of their own accord (aside from REBUS events) to college students looking to get an idea of agency life and career focusing. We're glad that RT does this - let us know if you're agency does something similar and we'll get the word out.

    College students home for the Thanksgiving holiday will have a rare opportunity on Tuesday, November 22, when Rodgers Townsend hosts their fifth annual Fall Forum. “We began the event as a way for students to get an inside peek at the agency and learn about the different career paths available in advertising,” said Jennifer Oertli, VP and Director of HR.

    This year’s event will feature a lineup of agency speakers including CEO Tim Rodgers, Chief Creative Officer Tom Townsend, and others. Topics covered will include creative, digital, media, account planning, and more.

    “We enjoy opening the agency to students, and it’s a great opportunity for them to network,” said Rodgers. Intern Abby Wood adds, “I attended the forum last year and found it really helpful in terms of focusing my career path.”

    The event will run from 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, November 22. Attendees can learn more and RSVP at the agency’s facebook page.

    If you need us to tell you what's wrong with this, you should probably work here. OR, did they make something awful on purpose? Hhmmmm. Regardless, 2eCreative should be happy to pass the baton.

    Thank you anonymous submitter.
