If you are currently running your own blog or website, you’re probably always on the lookout for ways to increase the amount of views on your posts. Well, unfortunately I can’t give you any solid guidelines on what draws the Internet-masses, but I can tell you about something I did recently that was pretty successful in comparison to the rest of my personal blogging experiences.

Brock Services once again called BBR to design the party collateral for their annual, rip-roarin’ LSU tailgate party. BBR tackled the creative challenge to capture the rivalry between our beloved LSU Tigers vs. “those OTHER Tigers” and — per the client’s request — design “one helluva invitation.” Putting our heads together, we presented some “punchy” design concepts – just what Brock was looking for. With a fun concept and ferocious visuals, our “Catfight” invitation was a win-win! When event branding is involved, BBR is a great sparring partner to have in your corner.
Each year, Forum 35 in Baton Rouge presents ArtMelt, a curated exhibition of Louisiana artists—the largest in Louisiana. The event showcases the high quality and variety of local artistic talent, and provides a venue for Louisiana artists to receive professional exposure. Held at the Louisiana State Museum in Baton Rouge, the event receives support and participation from Louisiana galleries and merchants, and is attended by both artists and art collectors across the region.
In the wake of the recent tsunami that hit Japan, I was contacted by Dirty Coast Press out of New Orleans to participate in a group design project to raise money for the relief effort. They asked a group of designers to each come up with a poster to be screen printed and sold. All profits from poster sales will go directly to the NOLA Japan Quake Fund.

As BBR’s newest employee (and rookie blogger), I’m a little intimidated by this assignment, so I turn to my folks for advice.
“Write what you know,” advises Mom, always practical.
“What’s a ballog?” asks Dad, “Is that a Louisiana thing, like that boudin we ate?”
(He’s still reeling from the virtual delicatessen of assorted meats I bring home to my native Tennessee every few months.) No, Dad. This blog is not a meat product, but thanks anyway.
So, in the interest of practicality, I’m going with Mom’s advice and writing my inaugural blog (now that has an awfully nice ring to it…) about something I know: jingles.
