Dunn Construction’s Website Is Finally Online!

Dunn Construction's Website Is Finally Online!

And boy are we ever thrilled about that. I guess the best way to describe the folks over  there would be “Typical Dunn People”. In other words, as fine a group of individuals as you could ever hope to work for. Which is especially fortunate, considering how long this project took. So what was the

Owner’s Association Rebranding Continued.

Owner's Association Rebranding Continued.

In October, we published This Post about the work we did in supporting The Owner’s Association‘s 2011 rebranding initiative. Not long ago we completed their first post-rebranding collateral piece—and it might just be my personal favorite of the entire campaign to date. It’s a brochure targeting  potential Allied Members (typically vendors serving the hospitality industry). Click

Simple Tastes For Neighborhood Friend

Simple Tastes For Neighborhood Friend

## The following “Farewell” column was written by Thomas Spencer for the 10/26/03 issue of The Birmingham News. It remains one of my all-time favorite pieces from that fine and venerable publication. ## Lord Baltimore Gin was his balm and pork his passion. Virtually every evening after work, Franklin Headen would hold court from a

Let’s Do The Time Warp.

Let’s Do The Time Warp.

I recently read (and, by the way, mostly enjoyed) Stephen King’s latest novel, 11/22/63. Which, to make a very long story short, is a book involving time travel. For some reason, it’s reminded me of a real life King-esque story from my own past. So join me as we return to a balmy evening in

What Would Nick Do?

What Would Nick Do?

Several years ago, during his press conference after a resounding victory (marred only by a couple of minor mistakes), Nick Saban described the outing as “a perfect game. We won, and I still had something to be mad about.” So it’s in honor of our beloved coach that I thought I’d celebrate Alabama’s latest championship

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

Almost true story: A fine Southern lady and her daughter are taking a cab through New York, when the young girl asks about several brazenly-dressed women standing at a nearby street corner. “Well, sweetheart,” her mother explains, “those women are personal escorts. Single gentlemen hire ladies like that to keep them company.” “Aww comon, toots,”

Baggett’s Fifth Ad: Personal Experience Meets Market Research.

I recently met Mark Cubine, the marketing director at McLeod Software—who has conducted research indicating that one of the four most common questions truck drivers have about prospective employers these days is, “Are you a healthy, successful company?” Which makes perfect sense, after a rash of company collapses left hundreds (if not thousands) of drivers

I love this little project.

I love this little project.

On the morning of Thursday, December 23, I received an email from Jo Brake—The Owners Association’s London-based Regional Manager for Europe, Middle East, Africa and Australasia. She had a last-minute request, in case we could handle it on short notice: A seasonal greeting card design, using the photo below. Although Jo already had specific copy

Baggett: Facebook Rock Star.

Baggett: Facebook Rock Star.

We’re particularly excited about the results we’ve achieved in building-up Baggett’s Facebook page following. In less than 3 months (and with a huge assist from Baggett’s Recruiting Director Daniel Buckhannan), we increased their Facebook Fan count from 36 to 3884. More importantly, Baggett (a family-owned company with less than 100 drivers) now commands a “talking

Another Reason I Don’t Keep A Gun In The House*

Another Reason I Don’t Keep A Gun In The House*

It’s 5:05 in the morning, and my next door neighbor’s retriever is barking right outside my son Fletcher’s bedroom window. Apparently, he didn’t get the memo about clocks Falling Back next week—because he and his two equally-vocal housemates normally don’t start until after 6:00. To be perfectly fair, Next Door Dogs have come a long
