Blah, blah, blah.
We did this. We did that. Look at the picture. Yawn. So flaccid. So bereft of content. So stripped of meaning. Such is the sad life of a portfolio.

Steve and Darren, from Tugboat, accompanied Jesse from Jind Fruit Co. to the annual Produce Marketing Association's Fresh Summit, held in Atlanta in October.

The summer nights of June and July have yielded to the brisk breeze of fall. So much summer, so little time. Sounds like a John Hughes movie (click - it's worth it!) and it tastes even better.

The JIND Fruit Co. tagline has been brought to sweet, summer life on the web. When developing the theme and strategy for this site, we realized everyone knows what an apple looks like. Chances were also good that most humans can recognize cherries and peaches as well.

Due to the the Spring Homeshow being cancelled by the games who cannot be named™®©, Tugboat and The Province newspaper have come together to present a virtual homeshow called Home Sweet Deals.
While thinking about how to direct a client on how to pick up the slack from the lack of show, someone here had the bright idea to host a virtual show and involve The Province to extend the reach to other retrofit/renovation organizations who share the same target: homeowners with homes over 20 years of age.
“Tickets” are printed in paper. Readers visit theprovincecontests.com to enter the show (and enter a daily prize draw). Once inside, they can browse exhibitor booths as well as enter the sweepstakes draw of a prize package of renovation products and services valued at over $20,000. Like windows for instance…
Exhibitors recieve a robust tracking and sales component where they can track lead generation in real time through their own login page.
The promotion runs through the month of March, in paper, online and on Global TV.
