Go Blog, I mean Build Something

Congrats to my friends at McCoy’s Building Supply for recently launching their blog:

Go Build Something!

McGarrah/Jessee Hits the Slopes

Austin-based McGarrah/Jessee has won its second new client of the year. (The other is high-end sunglasses manufacturer Costa Del Mar.) Heavenly Mountain Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe has award Mc-J with its ~$2 million branding account. The prior agency of record was San Francisco-based Y&R.

I am waiting with giddy anticipation for the first Mc-J produced radio or TV ad that features that same deep voice they use in most of their ads i.e. Whataburger or McCoy’s.

Been to the blog but don’t see your company/name on the list? Shoot me an email or post a comment. If you email us, make sure you send it from your company email account so that we know it is the real-deal. Let us know what you think and maybe share a bit of info. The ~worst~ that will happen is that you get a free link to your site. Not a bad trade for a bit of good SEO if you ask me. If you don’t know what SEO is then please email me sooner rather than later.
