Tiny carrots!

Tiny carrots!

Let’s talk about one of our favorite words here at the RedHouseMedia creative thinking multiplex. It’s a phrase, I guess, if you want to be technical… “Return on investment”. (ROI) A performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment. One of our primary purposes at RedHouseMedia is to help our clients reach their highest return on investment.

This blog’s for you!

This past Friday, January the 30th, we were awarded a Gold Addy for the RedHouseMedia website and blog design! That’s pretty exciting, especially in consideration of the blog as we wanted the design to be sustainable allowing each of our graphic designers their own virtual online community. The Addy’s are an annual celebration as hosted by the American Advertising Federation

An opportunity in graphic design knocks.

It’s Friday, it’s 4:48:27 pm, and we’re looking to meet a graphic designer who is interested in a change of view, change of perspective, or a change of address. We’re not real worried about a 4 year degree versus a 2 year degree, we’re most concerned about work ethic, passion, and the creative portfolio. If working with a 2 other designers, a media coordinator,

Moving on up.

I’ll admit it. I loved the television show from my childhood; The Jeffersons. Not sure how many episodes I watched throughout my younger years but the one thing I recall for certain is dancing and singing along to the opening theme song. Today has marked another moving on up day for myself here at RedHouse. Finally, after a few months of remodeling and waiting patiently for the

Tis the season to buy!

I want to do a little whistle blowing today. I just want to draw attention to the materialism that is crowding in all around us. I realize this will be a bit of a contradiction coming from an advertiser, but a little balance could do us all good. Last Friday was Black Friday, and today we are looking ahead to another weekend of deals, bargains and steals. I think retailers and advertisers

Kovaa työtä ja runsaasti kahvia!  (Hard work and plenty of coffee!)

A while back I was interviewed by Päivi Remes as Finland was starting BNI (Business Networking International) in their country. BNI is a business networking group and they wanted perspective from a Finnish – American (my grandfather Gust Hautala emigrated from Nurmo, Finland to the Iron Country of Biwabik, Minnesota.) We talked back and forth (via eMail, in English) about how

RedHouseMedia goes back to school.

Yes, it’s true. RedHouseMedia went back to school on Thursday, October 8th 2009 and I know what you are thinking, but we didn’t go back for the great school lunches, we went back to school to speak for Pillager High School’s Web Design Class. We were approached by Rachel Schwalbach of Best Prep, a nonprofit organization that works with schools across the state of Minnesota.

Week 3 – Franklin Arts Center Chair Racing Championships.

The opportunity of 3-peating in professional sports is not an easy task. For the record, here is the short list of teams that have pulled it off going back to 1936. Only 14 teams have accomplished this year to year dominance going back well over 70 years now. Let’s meet our competitors. On the right meet the two-time champion Greg, a stained glass artist by day, a chair racing
