pat_fallon_croppedWe’re excited to announce that Pat Fallon will be inducted into the American Advertising Federation Hall of Fame in March. This is an exceptional career achievement as the Hall of Fame distinction is reserved for very few in the advertising industry.

Pat was nominated by a group of his peers, including clients and senior management within several agencies. The selection criteria were exceptionally stringent to ensure that only the best of best made the cut. All nominees were evaluated on their contributions to their clients’ businesses over the years, their work product, their influence on the advertising industry and their pro bono and charitable work in the industry and within their own communities.

The ceremony will take place March 25th at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. We’ll also have our own Fallon celebration honoring our guy.

Basilica Block Party Launch

POSTED 06.10.09

Tuesday the agency got together to see the new work done for the Basilica Block Party this year. It’s the first year Fallon has worked on this project, and we’re really excited about how the work turned out. The campaign returns the Basilica Block Party to its roots—the contrast between religion and rock and roll. It’s all about “music for the masses” and may pop up in unexpected places, in fun and unexpected ways.

The event takes place on Friday and Saturday, July 10th and 11th, at the Basilica in downtown Minneapolis. Bands scheduled to perform include: The Black Crowes, Mat Kearney, Erin McCarley, The Jayhawks, Serena Ryder, Counting Crows, Matt Nathanson, Green River Ordinance, The Hold Steady, Tapes ‘n Tapes, Rocket Club, Romantica, Tim Mahoney, and Tyrone Wells. Doors open at 5pm. For tickets and other information, visit the Basilica Block Party website.

Here’s a few photos from the launch event.
