We all know the famous Mini Ads that CP+B created, but have we all seen the stuff coming out of China? Here’s a spot we thought had some interesting art direction.

We’re happy to announce we were featured in the OBIEs again this year. Both our Wyoming Department of Health and Cheyenne Mountain Zoo campaigns were included, and we’re proud to have our work recognized alongside some of the best agencies’  in the US. The OBIE Awards recognize creative excellence in out of home advertising and is the oldest awards program in the advertising industry. For more than 120 years, the association has been dedicated to leading and uniting a responsible outdoor advertising industry that is committed to serving the needs of advertisers, consumers, and communities.

We’d just like to take a minute and thank the Wyoming Department of Health and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. They’re great clients and we love working with them to create award winning stuff. Over the years, we’ve been lucky enough to improve the health of Wyoming by featuring programs like smoking cessation, threw with chew and alcohol and drug related initiatives. We’ve also had a lot of fun spreading the word about the amazing and unique zoo experience the folks at CMZ are bringing to Colorado Springs. Thanks for the opportunity to work with you guys.

We’re apparently on a bit of a streak posting about domesticated pets (see below), but this idea was pretty neat. Terra, a mexican web portal company, is turning dog poop into free Wifi. They’ve created a device that calculates the weight of the canine fecal parcel and transforms it into free time to surf the interwebs. These nifty machines are placed in 10 parks in Mexico City and aim to urge dog owners to pick up after their pets, while also promoting Terra, of course.

This concept was created by BBDO Mexico. And it smells like poop.

Funny spot.

Then, we had our interns for the spring (the fabulously aforementioned Greg Jesse and Jamie Howe) come in and finish up the production of the “What did you build today” campaign for the Mile High Youth Corps. The idea was to let the public know that MHYC not only helped youths in our community, but that they actually helped to benefit the physical community itself, as well. They plant trees, build trails, help repair homes, create parks- and the list goes on and on. They are building the community, literally.

We think Greg and Jamie did a fantastic job, and we’re quite proud of the work they produced, and are excited to get this work out there- so stay tuned and look for it in your area.

Let’s hear it for our stellar intern, Greg Jesse.

Greg, a soon to be graduate from Metro, has been a creative intern with us since January. In case you haven’t noticed, Metro has been consistently producing killer talent. Now Greg has raised the bar.

Greg Jesse won “Best Portfolio” at The Review, an annual event organized by Art Directors Club of Denver and AIGA Colorado. We’re not at all surprised he has the best student book around. He’s been a solid contributor at Sukle. With his concepting and design skills, he’s ready to put his mark on whatever comes his way. He gets the Sukle Seal of Approval without hesitation.

The Review provides college art students from the Rocky Mountain region with invaluable feedback from industry pros, as well as a chance at being recognized with an award. The “Best Portfolio” award comes with a $500 scholarship and Adobe CS5.5 Creative Suite.

Greg is humble. Which is why it was so hysterical when he acknowledged quietly, “I’m kind of a big deal.” At 6’11”, we’d agree with you.
