Our People

Stephanie Styons

We hate to see good employees leave the agency, but occasionally they do. Unfortunately, a young professional left us just a few days ago. She sent a goodbye email to the staff that made me smile when I read it. I am proud to work along side some great people, who are not only creative and smart, but make working here interesting and fun. Continue Reading >

Honky Tonk Rock-A-Thon For Haiti

Barbara Schneider

This Saturday at the Pourhouse. Open your hearts and wallets for Angel Mission medical clinic in Haiti. All proceeds will go directly to Angel Mission. 5 bands, one low cover….a chance to do good while having a blast. Hope to see you and your friends there. Doors at 7, bands start promptly at 8.

My dentist Dr. Randall Bennefield and David Burney (whom some of you may know) are in the Johnny Folsom 4, a Johnny Cash tribute band. They play frequently in Raleigh. Check them out and support a good cause!

Bagel-off taste test coming soon

Mar162010
Steve Olshansky

After hearing things like “I like Dunkin’ Donuts’ bagels” or “I don’t see what’s wrong with Bruegger’s” this frustrated former New Yorker will host a bagel-off to prove that NY bagels rule. This Friday, I will be blind taste testing the vapid, cardboard-like bagels mentioned above against the crisp, moist and always delicious bagels from NY Bagel & Deli. Stay tuned and may the best bagel win.

Holiday Party…Casino Style

Mix a great group of employees, their significant others, a bit of gambling, a dash of food, and some drinks, and what do you get? … A memorable night.

Black jack, Texas hold’em, craps, roulette, and slot machines kept us busy. Then we all turned in our chips (if we had an left), and some of us went home with prizes!

Won a lot or lost every chip… it did not seem to matter. Good times were had by all!

High speed photography

Oct52009
Maximillian Hill

Q: Who likes high speed photography?
A: Everyone.
You could look it up, or just take my word for it.
I took a few hours to dabble in the high speed arts.
And I think that we can agree that the results are pretty stunning.
Using a $15 fish tank and some elbow grease I got some amazing results.
Check out more on Flickr or just watch this space, I’m sure there’s more high speed photos to come.
Fruit is the obvious object of choice, but I’m looking for something different.
Anyone have any ideas?
Anyone?
