This week, Katie Ullman who is our PR Director / Account Manager was honored by the Mohawk Valley Ad Club as the 2010 Ad Person of the year. She is actually the 5th person with ties to Romanelli Communications to be honored in this way over the club’s 30+ year history. We’re all very proud of Katie’s work not only within our office but also of the work she does for the Mohawk Valley Ad Club and the Ride For Missing Children.

This was an evening of cheers and short jokes, as we toasted and roasted Katie.  But we’re really proud of her.  During the evening’s presentation (which you can watch in its entirety here), we also showed a “short” documentary we produced about Katie. We’d like to share that with you below. Enjoy!

Bernie and Ryan share 5 big ideas reinforced at the SXSW interactive conference.

Last week Ryan Miller and I were invited by Kemper Matt and the folks at Dupli Envelope and Graphics in Syracuse, NY to speak about Social Media for a group of their customers and staff.   Dupli’s business is rooted in Direct Mail, an area that is traditionally thought of  as being completely impersonal and standardized. But this industry is changing just as other methods of marketing are being forced to change and Dupli is a company that is embracing emerging media. (more…)
