Hey everyone. We hope you had an enjoyable holiday season! We sure did. We were busy launching out three new ad campaigns, Nestle’s 100 GRAND, Slim-Fast and ZorbEEZ. If you haven’t already, you should definitely head on over and see what’s up. You won’t be disappointed.

In the news from around the web video advertising this past couple weeks has been interesting. Just this week, Silicon Alley Insider has started the discussion about whether it’s possible to make a living with your YouTube channel. Of course, we think it doesn’t matter because you can always make money with your video skills with us! But having millions of views on YouTube might not monetize directly, but it can do wonders for your brand. Just ask the Will it Blend? guys!

Also on the radar, Pete Blackshaw’s Consumer Generated Media blog is rapping about buzz surrounding popular user-generated Super Bowl ads and how they fit into a ‘holisitic marketing‘ approach. He’ll be holding a webinar on January 3rd on the subject. Click through to learn more about that.

And finally, Advertising for Peanuts makes their 2008 Advertising Industry Resolutions. Among my favorite: #5: We’ll stop creating faux-amateur looking viral videos. and #6: We will stop calling web films “viral videos”.

We’re really excited about what 2008 is going to bring! Come join the fun with us and many wishes for happiness and good fortune in the coming year.
