QCK3: TONY
The BLG Friday Feature is the QCK3 (QUICK THREE). This is where BLG engages in a verbal romp with a friendly MKTG INC employee. Rules of engagement? The introduction is the back of your business card and the corresponding photo is randomly selected from your Facebook page. Sick ‘em, boys!
Today’s subject: Tony
Tony is a Group Account Director who chose the ho-hum backing of his business card, so we don’t have a super-sweet description to put here. What does this say about Tony? BLG investigates on this fine Friday morning…
BLG: Why no custom business card? Is Tony not a risk-taker?
TNY: Well, I wanted it to say something about me making the world safe for democracy and/or kickin’ ass and takin’ names, but somehow that was lost in the editorial process. Can’t trust you writers.
BLG: Fair enough. And speaking of trust, I’m not sure i’d entrust the future of democracy with you anyway. You wouldn’t have time to watch college football…
TNY: Very true. GO DAWGS!
BLG: So what do you do when you aren’t doing here?
TNY: I think about how awesome it would be if I WAS here, and what I’ll do when I’m ACTUALLY here. Aside from that, I play with my 2 little dudes (Aldo: 19 months and CJ: 5 Months, and my awesome wife Amber: 396 months). This typically involves loading up the stroller (it’s a double-decker UppaBaby…it rocks) and wandering to all of the exotic spots of the Upper Eastside. I also watch UGA Football. That is all.
BLG: I’m sure Amber is happy you took the time to count out how many months old she is. And that we are now publishing it here. Oops. So besides contributing to the Upper Eastside Strollerocracy, you have worked on a ton of programs in your MKTG INC tenure. What’s your fave?
TNY: I’d say it’d have to be The Classic Malts Mentor program. (And you thought I was going to say Johnnie Walker Journey/House of Walker). The Classic Malts Mentor program was a lot of fun, because I got to work with the Masters of Whisky to develop a program that was tactile, engaging, entertaining and had a direct impact on rate of sales for accounts. AND we were talking about scotch, so how could it NOT be fun?
BLG: We love scotch at BLG. And yes, we did think you were going to say Johnnie Walker Journey/House of Walker.
TNY: Of course that would be a close second. Because of the event, but also because of the people I got to know working on those programs over the last 5+ years.
BLG: I bet you went through a lot of kilts in 5+ years.
TNY: Naturally.
