Happy Friday, everyone.

Jason Frummett: The 97-year old Avon lady.
John Kennedy: The Sports Illustrated preseason NFL rankings have the NY Jets #1. Yea!!!! Awesome to see, but as one friend and fellow Jet fan called it “the kiss of death.” I guess only time will tell. J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!!!!
John Kennedy: I have yet to try this. http://www.wimp.com/wineshoe

Look where’s Spike’s been. It’s tough being on the A-list celebrity circuit.
Watch his appearance on Letterman last night.
As a BtoB Top Agency four years in a row, Hodgson/Meyers is used to getting down to business for its roster of software and technology companies. However, recently the shop put its resources to work for homeless young adults of the Northwest.
As part of a pro bono effort for ClimbOn—an organization that provides job opportunities for homeless youth—the H/M team re-energized the brand. Included in the project were a new logo, color palette, position line, business stationery and Web page.
ClimbOn works with YouthCare to create partnerships with the Northwest business community to provide career counseling and exploration, job referrals and placements to help homeless young adults move toward self-sufficiency. To sum up ClimbOn’s mission, Hodgson/Meyers developed the position line: Jobs for youth. Hope for life. By interlocking the words “Climb” and “On,” H/M created a logo that suggests partnership and advancement.
Said ClimbOn’s Director of Youth Services, Bill Northey, “We couldn’t be happier with the materials—and the thinking—that Hodgson/Meyers provided. Their work has captured what ClimbOn is about, and has provided inspiration for all involved with the program.”
We beg to differ, Bill. It’s ClimbOn that provided the inspiration for H/M. And continues to provide hope for the homeless youth of our area.
