We recently had a great opportunity to work with the Pacific Salmon Foundation on their first television PSA. We wanted to grab the attention of the viewership base (World Fishing Network viewers) by giving them a piece with a distinctly different feel than the fishing shows it will be paired with—more about the romance of being out in nature with the rather than simply catching them.
About a year ago Leah and I met TODD SMITH for a coffee, who had just returned from a couple of years with THANK YOU in Denmark. Ever since, we’ve been trying to find a way to work together. Well, about 6 weeks ago it arrived, and we had so much fun that Todd has joined Team Ant full time. The bad news is that we’ve outgrown our office trying to fit all of his brains into our measly 400 square feet. The good news is that we’ve acquired immense, and diverse, talent over the last months with Derek and Todd and are glad to have them on our team.
We also want to congratulate Todd on his fantastic spread in Applied Arts magazine this month. We’re all excited for the times to come.
ALSO, we want to introduce you to Derek, our new interaction designer. He’s pretty much the man, and works on all sorts of stuff for us from motion design, to art direction, to technical things way back in computerland with names like jQuery that we used to send outside. In fact, he used a couple of those fancy words to make the aforementioned website refresh.
