STANANDLOU MARKETING/ADVERTISING

Went to see my friend, Lyn Rathburn at The Cactus King today. Lyn is not only the owner of Cactus King but he is also quite an accomplshed artist. Not sure what you’d call his art other than maybe recycled art but, in any event, I really like it.

Lyn is a very big personality with a big heart and simple dreams. He’s a very talented guy who knows how to grow cactus and make pretty cool art.

This is a link to his art site and this is a link to the Cactus King Site.

Today was an interesting day at STANANDLOU. The Houston Texan Cheerleaders were in the office to shoot some photos and videos for their website. I was asked by VT2 to go down and shoot some stills as I was the onlt one with a camera.

Note to self: ALWAYS BRING YOUR CAMERA TO WORK!!!

The girls were great. They happily posed with Reggie, were super nice and a credit to the quality Houston Texan franchise.

Well done, girls!

Enjoyed a fun evening last night with our friends from the marketing department of the Houston Dynamo. We visited Spotlight Karaoke for Happy Hour and had a blast.

Lindsay  Daywalt, Marketing Director for the Dynamo, was the ringleader and got everyone on the stage to participate — even me.

It was my first time to karaoke although many friends have tried to get me to do it through the years but I was able to uphold my dignity until, well, last night.

Lindsay and I sang an old Neil Diamond classic, “Sweet Caroline.” Lot’s  of fun was had by all as well as a lot of beer!

At the end of the night, everyone hopped on stage and did a spirited group sing of “Love Shack” by the B-52’s.  SEE ALL THE PHOTOS HERE.

(HOUSTON)  STANANDLOU Marketing//Advertising added three new companies to its client roster with the addition of Kolache Mama, Renaissance Healthcare System, and the Houston Dynamo. Billings for the three Houston-based companies were not disclosed.

Kolache Mama awarded STANANDLOU their marketing and public relations business after a review of several New York City and Houston agencies.

“I am pleased to relate the appointment of STANANDLOU as the advertising and marketing arm for Mama’s house,” stated Richard Saler, president of Kolache Mama. “This group is strong on both the creative and execution requirements necessary to help Mama reach the consumer/corporate markets she is seeking.”

The agency will be responsible for all aspects of marketing, advertising, PR, collateral, and web-based media.

“We are extremely excited and flattered by our new relationship with Kolache Mama, stated Michelle Reed, principal at STANANDLOU. “They needed local marketing and public relations representation that could respond quickly and effectively to the many challenges of introducing a new food concept to the New York City market.”

Saler added, “The approaches outlined by STANANDLOU are not only cost effective, but more importantly, unique and special. We are fortunate to find this rare breed here in Houston.” (more…)
