Hickman’s Egg Ranch is like the coolest egg ranch on the planet and we are lucky enough to have them as a client! This Friday the 14th they are holding their “Breakfast for Dinner” Night from 5pm – close at participating restaurants.  This event collects new pajamas and donates them to the Arizona’s Children Association Foster Care Program.  Anyone who attends and brings some pajamas will receive a FREE dozen eggs from Hickman’s and a chance to win a breakfast party for 65 friends.  You can find the list of paticipating restaurants on their website http://www.hickmanseggs.com/. This is a great cause put on by great people!

Ever wondered why companies insist that their employees keep their workplaces clean? Not only is a dirty workplace a terrible place to work in, but it also lowers productivity and efficiency. Cleaning up after a day of work is just as important as what you do for a living.

A systematic and productive workplace is not a one-day-affair just because the boss or some prospective clients are around. Sustaining your cleaning tasks is important to improve productivity and increase employee satisfaction.

bluemedia strives to keep a clean workspace not only because it looks good, but because it is step one in ensuring that our clients projects get completed in a timely/accurate manner. Check out our print department, our print staff takes pride in their space and equipment. These folks say late and come in early to ensure everything is in order to start a print run. Organization and cleanliness are keys to a successful and productive company. Taking pride in yourself and your environment are a sure sign of a dedicated employee (and we happen to have a ton here at blue!).

The toys were out at the 2009 Big Boys & their Toys show. bluemedia was in full force representing our awesome abilities with live demos & numerous wrapped vehicles throughout the show. A great turnout came to see the newest cars, quads, and boats. There was also a state-of-the-art golf simulator with “nearest to pin” and “longest drive” competitions, a sport racing simulator, four speed-dating events and a video game tournament called Devastation. Everyone had a great time and bluemedia made many new friends as well as some great new clients. Thanks to all that helped make this the best Big Boys show yet!! See you next year.

Below is a video of Godin speaking at the Inbound Marketing Summit on some of his ideas that continue to make marketers rethink how they do marketing.

Godin showed an interest in entrepreneurial activities from an early age. He went on to get a degree in computer science and philosophy from Tufts University in 1982, followed by an MBA in marketing from Stanford Business School. Soon after graduating with his MBA, Godin founded Yoyodyne, one of the first online marketing companies. It was at Yoyodyne that Godin founded the idea of “permission marketing.” In 1998, Godin sold Yoyodyne to Yahoo! for $30 million and became their VP of Direct Marketing until 2000, when he left to become a full time speaker, writer, and blogger. Godin also went on to found ChangeThis (now run by 800-CEO-READ), a website for spreading ideas through PDF files, and Squidoo, a community website allowing users to create pages (“lenses”) for subjects of interest.
Godin has published more than 10 nationally acclaimed business and marketing books that have transformed the way marketers think about marketing. His blog has been ranked the #1 marketing blog by the AdAge Power 150, and he has been called “America’s Greatest Marketer” by American Way Magazine and “The Ultimate Entrepreneur for the Information Age” by BusinessWeek.

As mall and shopping-center owners lose tenants in the souring economy, they are at least gaining something else: more advertising space.

Upstart companies have cinched deals in recent weeks to plaster ads across the growing number of vacant storefronts in U.S. malls and shopping centers. Ads also are multiplying in unconventional venues such as food-court table tops, parking-space divider lines and security vehicles.
