You might wonder how the title of this relates to the above photo so let me try and establish the scene. Darryl (AKA “Da-REAL Deal”) squirreled himself into some kind of tiny sled.

It’s a jungle out there
Wednesday, March 6th, 2013I went to the Oregon Zoo earlier this week. The hope is that we can work together and form a partnership around the beaver habitat.

How big is Super Grande?
Tuesday, February 19th, 2013Here are three things you can learn today. The Grande Super burrito at La Rockita (downtown Corvallis) is too big. I know wouldn’t typically ever think of saying that phrase, but the thing is just way to big. It broke open and spilled every where. Quite tasty, but a big disaster. Sorry I don’t have [...]
State-focused recruiting pages

The sites are simple, small [...]

Foundation collaboration nets gold from CASE
Tuesday, January 15th, 2013Last fall, we had the honor of working with the OSU Foundation on a project for an annual dinner to induct new members of the Harris Society. Our entire team pitched in to create a series of six videos that played throughout the evening on the largest HD screens I’ve ever seen. I just learned [...]
Welcome to the Big Show!
Tuesday, August 7th, 2012Every year as a part of our paid sponsorship with Athletics we get to create a short video to be played during football games. Yes, that is accurate we (the university) have to pay to get a 30 second message up on the Jumbo Tron at each of our home football games. I understand it, but [...]
Three sites and a new designer
Thursday, June 7th, 2012The Web Comm team has had a hand in a few successes recently. We helped with the launch of three new websites, including the colleges of Veterinary Medicine and Education, as well as a new site for our Veterinary Hospital, which includes a fancy new parallax slider and a nifty video piece. Of course, Central [...]
Where marketing meets storytelling
Thursday, April 19th, 2012Relentless, Justin Smith’s film about our student formula racing team, marks a major change in how we do online storytelling. We’ll be releasing the film on the web this Saturday, and hundreds of race fans and other teams are already queued up to see it as soon as it launches. It’s a strong, compelling piece [...]
