Sorry we've been away for so long guys, but the ihaveanidea team had a little thing to get underway called Portfolio Night 5 World Tour. It has been absolutely insane for the past week or so. We were getting in touch with the other cities and agencies, we were building the website, we were putting the final touches on our contract with the legendary Burn Back– their rider is ludicrous! – all in preparation to launch this past Sunday afternoon. Yes, we all skipped our Easter dinners in order to make sure that everything would be up and running at the beginnning of the business week on the other side of the world. Unfortunately we didn't realize that outside of North America, you people take your Easter Mondays more seriously than we do. Which explains why our emails and phone calls went unanswered; you had a four day weekend.
Now that everything is up and running, we have a tiny bit more breathing room. But that doesn't mean things have calmed down. We still have to talk with all the cities involved, and that involves weird hours (we believe Jay will be starting work around midnight tonight). Some cities are a bit nervous, while others –check out Barcelona– are going full guns blazing. We're getting calls from other cities who aren't on the official list, asking how they can be added, if not now then for Portfolio Night VI. We're getting calls from the media asking for interviews with Burn Back (you mean the first one wasn't enough?) We even received an email today from someone who seemed deeply distressed at all of the iconic heavy metal "Satanic" imagery. So you know our work is far from finished.
In all of the commotion we forgot to announce the winner of the first adblogs prize. Congratulations to Ronnie Lebow, the most active adblogger in the month of March! If you haven't had an opportunity to check out Ronnie's adblog, here's your chance. It's also a good time to work on your own adblog, as the rules state that ol' Ronnie can't win twice in a row!
We'll be back with more Portfolio Night 5 news soon!
Congratulations to Ronnie (L) and his adblog (R)
