Can't beat the heat in Houston ...

August 11, 2010

Greg Norman says today may be hottest of the month in Houston so what to do? Get out of town! My choice for the heat escape is Portland and Seattle.

In Portland, I will tour Nonbox Portland and see old friend Steve Karakas. In Seattle, I will be visiting GreenRubino and having cocktails with John Rubino. Why the agency tours? Both of these agencies have a great roster of clients and I think it is good to learn what they are doing well in their markets. Both agencies have stellar portfolios of work with an excellent digital background. In between these cities, I am swinging through Astoria, Oregon for the Astoria Regattta. Celebrating 100 years of the Port of Astoria this year, it promises to be a beautiful break from the Houston heat. And what else should someone from a company called Blue Sky Marketing do other than seek blue skies and beautiful days filled with smart people and fun?
