Guesthouse

Had a great Guesthouse Training session on the rooftop of the Hotel Clermont with Savas Labs during their offsite to ATL, exploring how to go "Beyond the Ask" for clients to creatively deliver work that solves real business problems. It was so much fun, what a great team of people there. Want some customized creative or production training for your team? Hit us up.

We had a great time at the AICP (Association of Independent Commercial Producers) awards at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta last week. Plus we captured Elijah Torn. Between the four of us pictured, we literally have hundreds of millions of years experience in the industry. #advertising #creative #production #simpleisbetter

At Guesthouse, we like to shine a spotlight on some of the talented Guests we work with. If you haven't yet, meet the amazingly talented designer Shehan Rodrigo. He helped us with beautiful logo designs for a brand we love. He asks the best questions, and uses the answers to get to amazing solutions. You can work with him at Guesthouse, or you can contact him directly. From his site: I was born in Australia 🇦🇺, raised in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, and I now live in the United States 🇺🇸. I’ve worked in start-ups, in-house marketing departments, multinational ad agencies, and I’ve done a good bit of freelance in between. I can speak two languages fluently, and I hope to learn a third someday. Over the last decade or so, I have had the privilege of collaborating with clients and partners ranging from Fortune 200 Brands to underground heavy-metal bands. Guesthouse is my favorite. Okay, he didn't say the last sentence, but thanks for reading. https://lnkd.in/eq_Q4q74

New client alert! The incredibly nice people at GreyStone Power Corporation selected Guesthouse as creative AOR, and we selected them as friends most likely to give us a ride in a bucket truck. Sincere thanks to Ashley Kinnard, CCC and Maggie Tilley, APR, CCC for running such a great paid pitch (ahem, ad industry, it’s possible) and for choosing us to follow in G&T Communications, Inc.'s footsteps. And to Bryan A. Jackson and Steve Rubinacci of TRIUNION Marketing, for being such great media partners. Here we go! #simpleisbetter #advertising #creative #marketing

Excited to shoot a new brand campaign for our client Citizens Trust Bank this weekend. There’s never been a bank story like theirs, and we’re so glad to help bring it to life. More to come! #advertising #creative #simpleisbetter

Hey just wanted to let you know about a service we offer here at Guesthouse - Guesthouse Audio. Unlike almost any humans on Earth, we like to take radio and audio briefs and make them great, so you don’t have to. What’s wrong with us? We don’t know! Here are a few reasons agencies and station groups have come to us: -Taking radio off your team’s plate. No one likes doing it and it’s usually a wasted opportunity. We have a weird fetish for radio that can’t be helped. -Helping you win awards this award season. We have a ridiculous track record of radio and audio-based Cannes Lions, One Show Golds, and Radio Mercury Best in Shows. We recently helped an agency create some really funny radio for a local client to help with the agency's awards entries this year. Let’s send you to glory in the world’s weakest ad awards category. -Training. We can work with your writers to help them learn how to make the good kind of radio, and not “Say Bob, have you heard about the sale at JCPenney?” Give us a call! guesthouseaudio.com #advertising #marketing #radio #touchthatdial

Advertising LinkedIn is full of posts reminding us that no one wants to see our long PowerPoint introductions about ourselves. I think we all nod and understand that. And then make a deck with 30 slides of introductions about ourselves. One trick is to visualize your last appointment with a new doctor. What if they had told you how great they were for the entire appointment and never let you speak even once to tell them your problem? Or gave you 2 and a half minutes at the end for "any questions about me?" Sounds beyond belief. And would make you wonder, is this person even good at things? We've cut out all but a couple slides at Guesthouse, and it's been nice to focus on the client and what they have to say. They do have things to talk about! #keepitsimple #creative #advertising #presentation #presenting #newbusiness #drspaceman

Six seconds of childhood snackery, for Magic Spoon.

We love shooting food and CPG brands. Check out this food and product-focused work we did for our friends at Magic Spoon, to go along with the campaign we shared yesterday. We shot the protein treats on greenscreen, worked in the gradients, and used VFX to make a little magic. Shoutout to our great clients Kristina MacIntosh, Elliot Shifrin, Anne Wang, Bunmi Familoni, Gabi Lewis, and Gregory Sewitz, and our amazing Guests Alex Craig, Aaron Craig, Ronan Jorah, alyssa sarfity, and many others for helping pull it off (and in half). https://lnkd.in/eh3F7hYi
