Greetings!
Happy Holidays!We would first like to wish all our clients, talent and business associates a very joyous holiday season. Thank you for your support in 2011 and here's to a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012! Earlier this week we were thrilled to learn that we are a finalist in the IdeaPaint Makeover Contest! Could we ask a favor and would you kindly vote for us? We're in the top 10 out of hundreds of entries to receive IdeaPaint throughout our new office space. Please click the image below and you'll be redirected to the voting page. As you'll see from our video (#5 on the list), we REALLY could use the IdeaPaint makeover!  Lastly, we're continuing our series, "Getting to Know You." This month's fun Q&A is with Chris Cochran, Director of Client and Talent Services. Enjoy!

 Opportunity Knocks
How to Write a Killer Creative Job Description
Catherine Lang-Cline, Owner
"It's a very different experience working at a family-oriented company vs. with a hard-working group looking for results. Think about who would be a good fit with your culture. Is it a charismatic, highly-experienced creative mind or a technical, detail-oriented workhorse? People know what they are capable of and this type of illustration helps them decide if this is a fit for them."
