Fothie crew enjoyed hangin’ out at last night’s Advertising Federation AdFun mixer. Thanks to everyone at AAF Columbus and Portfolio Creative for hosting National Food on a Stick Day. Yo, those cake pops were off the hook.

Not only does our fun multi-media campaign for TourismOhio encourage people to drive all over the state, it’s driving big revenue too. TourismOhio just announced that the 2012 campaign resulted in a 15 to 1 return on investment (R.O.I.). That’s a return of $15 in taxes for every $1 invested in tourism marketing, topping 2011’s […]

Dave brought his King Kong appetite to New York and conquered this giant corned beef and turkey monstrosity from the world-famous Carnegie Deli in Times Square.  Definitely not D1 approved…but delicious!

Is there anything Bello, the high-flying comic daredevil, is afraid of? Yes…a haircut!  Bello’s back at MGM’s Beau Rivage Resort and Casino this summer, and we just finished shooting his brand new campaign in New York City.
