Buffalo Design Group Inc. develops new look for international website.  |
| |
BUFFALO, NEW YORK 20 May 2008 — Buffalo based ad agency, Buffalo Design Group Inc., has given the international website, www.icesticker.com, for ICE-ER, LLC, the company that created the ICE Your PhoneTM campaign and the iconic ICE Sticker, an one inch round red stickers with the acronym “ICE” for In Case of Emergency, a new look.
The ICE Your PhoneTM campaign encourages people to enter an emergency contact number in their mobile phone's memory under the heading "ICE" (i.e. In Case of Emergency), has rapidly spread throughout the world as a particular consequence of the July 7th terrorist attacks in London.
“ICE Your PhoneTM is a global movement. The ICE StickerTM is in use in more than 44 countries around the world. We want to connect to the communities we serve and it was important for us to collaborate with an agency that could develop a site that can compete on a world-wide basis. We found that in Upstate NY with Buffalo Design Group” says James Pendegraft, Managing Partner of ICE-ER, LLC.
Dan Della Vella, owner of Buffalo Design Group Inc. commented “We were really excited about the opportunity to work on a project that has such global awareness and universally appeal. The ICE concept is simple and straightforward, we wanted to the new website to reflect this. This is yet another example of Buffalo gaining exposure through the talents of our people.”
“While the origins of ICE can be traced to the UK, the ICE Your Phone TM campaign relies strictly on US based companies for services and production of the ICE Sticker TM. For us, this is thinking global and supporting the local communities” added Pendegraft.

AD EXECS, COLLEGE STUDENTS LAUNCH YOUINTERN.COM – WEB’S FIRST COMMUNITY OF ADVERTISING INTERNSHIP REVIEWS AND POSTINGS |
| |
CAMBRIDGE, Mass – Two advertising executives and two undergraduate business students launched YouIntern.com – the web’s first online community of advertising internship reviews, submitted by students, and advertising internship openings, submitted by employers.
After noticing that students lacked a central resource for advertising internship information, and agencies lacked a central channel to connect with students, YouIntern.com’s founders decided to fill this gap with a website that encourages and supports rewarding internship experiences for both students and employers.
“The marketplace of information lacks any substantive content for interns,” said Dan Chaparian, one of YouIntern’s founders. "YouIntern.com was born to give interns the inside track on positions they are considering. We then invite employers to submit their internship opportunities so that every stakeholder feels involved in the process.”
Along with internship reviews and openings, YouIntern.com features “expert advice” from advertising professionals to help guide students toward their career goals. The founders also maintain a blog with stories from the field and from their experience in advertising. Everything builds on YouIntern’s philosophy of “freedom from coffee and copies” that liberates students from the monotony that has become so common with internships.
“YouIntern.com is the only place where students can read the scoop about an internship before deciding to apply. That’s why we link employers and students,” said Anand Chopra-McGowan, another founder. “Advertising is one of the hottest industries for students, and we’re inviting employers to post their open internships right next to these students.”
Internships are necessary for students who wish to build a competitive resume, and with services charging thousands of dollars for internship placement, competition and demand is higher than ever. Business Week recently reported that the National Association of Colleges and Employers noted that 62% of new hires have internship experience, and YouIntern.com’s goal is to ensure that every stakeholder in the internship process has fair and equal access to information. |
