I was watching The Thing last night with Will and Matt. It was nice and I have been reading a lot of Hark! A Vagrant! so I TOTALLY RIPPED OFF Kate Beaton and made this picture of us and Oliver (what a scamp).

[Holy. Smokes. This is amazing. Not only did I totally mistake this for a Kate Beaton, but it also captures everyone’s personalities DEAD ON. Including Mr Oliver Queen. Awesome Kate. So awesome.]

I KNOW! Its really awesome. I’m so worried about Oliver tangled in those lights, and Will doesn’t know what to do. Kate is so happy that the little rapscallion is tangled. What a predicament!

Secret Project = REVEALED!

This has been something that I’ve hinted at with friends and colleagues. Its very exciting, and I’m glad to be a part of it. I’ll let my colleague Jeff exaplin in his own words:

In the last few weeks you may had heard about some big changes coming up at Brightwhite. I’m happy to report that these allegations are completely true. We are changing Brightwhite Design Group Inc.

Over the past few years, I’ve seen the promise and the rewards associated with social media. Through my engagement in Twitter and my blog , I’ve been lucky to become involved in conversation with countless wonderful people, many of whom have become great new clients, partners and friends. One of the greatest relationships I’ve forged is with Carman Pirie, former VP of Social Media at Colour. Over the past year or so, Carman and I have worked on some amazing projects together for clients like Dalhousie’s Faculty of Management, Killam Properties, the Province of Alberta, Atlantic Lottery and many others. Over this time, Carman and I found our respective skill sets to be very complementary to each other. His marketing knowledge and strategic focus on social media has won awards, accelerated our client’s marketing and pushed boundaries across Canada. Combined with our interface design and development prowess, we’ve formed an exceptionally progressive team.

Today, I’m pleased to announce that Carman and I are launching Kula Partners Inc. Kula is a multidisciplinary marketing agency built for our hyper-social world with core expertise in Social Media Marketing, Design and Development and Content Creation. What we are doing is unique in Atlantic Canada and we intend to grow our business as much outside of the Maritimes as we add exceptional clients within our region.

Our name is based on the Kula Ring, a trading custom in the Papua New Guinea, where people connect with one another by trading bracelets and necklaces known as Kula. The way social capital is advanced in the Kula Ring via the exchange of Kula speaks, in many ways, to how social capital is advanced and community is built via the sharing and spread of ideas and information online.

We want to be the agency that grows brands by creating marketing thatconnects people to each other.

I’m sure you have lots of questions about how this affects the work we do for you. Let me just say that the core of what we do for you will not change (nor will the cost), but our newly expanded focus should help us to offer a more targeted and effective marketing strategy. One that engages you more with your customers, provides a framework for growth and interaction and connects everyone with the tribes they live in.

We look forward to sitting down with you after the Christmas break to discuss the changes in our firm and how we can help to connect you with the people that matter to you. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or if we can be of service in any way. Thank you and please do check out our new site at kulapartners.com.

Cheers,

Jeff
