I have always found creative use of technology to solve everyday problems amazing. Recently, I came across an article about a Korean grocery store chain that not only solved a problem, but created a whole new way of grocery shopping using pretty simple technology and whole lot of creative thinking.

Stay in Touch with a Contact Management Database
It recently dawned on me — I’m a lot more than a New Business Developer and Account Supervisor. I’m the one person at BBR solely dedicated to maintaining strong relationships with every client we serve. Since that realization, I’ve given myself a third title — Client Relationship Manager. (more…)

Halloween-Stravaganza Costume Contest Winners
To get in the Halloween spirit this year, BBR decided to do something to reward our fans for their creativity, and came up with the BBR Inaugural Halloween-Stravaganza Costume Contest. This was a photo contest on our Facebook page, where our fans could submit their Halloween costume pictures for voting. The one catch was, BBR wasn’t going to do the voting, we were leaving it up to our fans. And up for grabs was one of three gift cards, $100 for 3rd place, $200 for 2nd, and $300 1st place. (more…)

What Internet Wants
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.

Blast from the Past: Stephanie Mire, What is She Up to Now?
When did you work at BBR and what did you do?
Five years after I realized kinesiology was not the major for me and becoming a physical therapist was not going to fulfill my creative and strategic needs, I was fortunate enough to work for BBR.
Creative and strategic needs met – check. (more…)

You Better Do It!
A proud graduate of The Academy of the Sacred Heart, an all-girl Catholic school in Grand Coteau, La., I have maintained a deep interest in the advancement of women since high school. Sacred Heart proudly instilled in us five goals which, to this day, I can repeat verbatim: 1) A personal and active faith in God, 2) A deep respect for intellectual values, 3) Community awareness which impels one to action, 4) Commitment to the building of a community with Christian values while respecting other religions, and 5) A commitment to personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom.

Blast from the Past: Holly Lutz, What is She Up to Now?
When did you work at BBR and what did you do?
I started out at BBR in the spring of 2008 as an intern and research assistant. I had recently moved to Lafayette from Ohio with my then fiancé Brian and had started the arduous process of job hunting. I remember walking down Jefferson Street past BBR Creative one afternoon and thinking, “this looks like a cool place.” (more…)

Everybody Loves a Good Catfight!
LSU 45 – Auburn 10
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.
Take Off with Idea Flight
I was recently in a half-day seminar and the PowerPoint the presenter used was just, well, plain. And annoying. You see, I have a love/hate relationship with PowerPoint. It’s so darn easy to use and can assist you in presenting your ideas in an organized way, but when placed in the wrong hands it can serve the opposite purpose — either irritating the viewer, or boring the pants off them.
