Happy Earth Day


Happy Earth Day to my peeps!

In honor of my fave environmentalist, this is a shout out to Ed Begley, Jr. - who I had the pleasure of chauffeuring when he was in town for the Better Living Show last month.

Keep up the good work Ed! I'm going to make it a point today to tell everyone I know not to recycle bottle caps. They end up in baby sea animals' mouths... :-(

Also, sorry for the lack of posts lately...I'm up to my eyeballs in media and blogger lists. Really makes the days fly by.

Ciao for now. Go save the earth!

Aaaah!

So much to do that I literally don't have time to blog... that is bad for someone trying to convince her clients of the importance of social media. I'm such a hypocrite... k, I'm over it. Something I'm not over however is that Ambre won Rock of Love II. Barf.

On the profesh front...here's an update for my two followers and the Kendalls (you know who you are!)

Well, we've launched Mercato (the new Italian joint in the Pearl.) We had a really successful media lunch last week, followed by a grand opening "Italian Celebrazione." Doesn't that sound so much prettier than grand opening?

Things are also buzzing on the new client front. I am ECSTATIC about working with OAT (Oregon Aesthetic Technologies) to help launch their anti-acne fighting genius ANSR. Stay tuned for more info...it's top secret for now. ;-)

We also have a new addition to our R/West PR family. Brittney Lively started last week. She comes from Columbia (she worked on Sorel and Montrail PR.) She's an absolute rockstar and is already showing Cision the bizness (that's our media database, bitches.) I'll post a photo as soon as I figure out how to get it off of the R/West cam...


Finally, Maryhill has announced its summer concert series. If you like BB King, Crosby, Stills & Nash or Michael McDonald...head over to Maryhill in Goldendale, Wash. this summer. Pop quiz: which of these three artists has yours truly sang back-up for? A 22 oz of Stumptown Tart to the winner...

Oh, that reminds me...Bridgeport is launching it's newest "Big Brew" - Stumptown Tart - at the Pearl District brewery on Thurs., April 24. The R/Westies will be there in full force and may even hit up a karaoke bar or two after the event...

For any other cool PR and media kids in town - hope to see you tonight at the Media Bistro All Media Party at Vino Paradiso...

Rico

So I have to admit, I'm new the whole advertising game (PR born and bred, baby!) When I saw these ads the crew created for a dealership in Ohio, I laughed my ass off...but I'm no critic.

Luckily, these guys are... and someone at Ad Age actually felt the same way as little old me about the Rico ads. Check out last week's article.

For the full Rico experience, visit Rico Sells Cars dot com...

I am so proud of my fellow R/Westies!
