Fun fact: Before Charlie Horsey was our boss, his boss was Bob Barker. Well, indirectly, anyway. To learn more about that and other little-known gems from Charlie’s wild and wooly 20-plus-year career, check out the MKTG INC CEO’s interview in sales and marketing mag FINS.com. Come on down!
Surf’s Up
While most eyes will be on Yankee Stadium in October, earlier this fall Nike’s Bowery Stadium played host to Dark Sun, an exhibition by photographer Ari Marcopoulos. For two weeks, the MKTG-designed space was adorned with black and white pictures of New York’s burgeoning surf scene and wave-shaped sculptures that doubled as skate ramps.
Check out this Cool Hunting post for more details on Marcopoulos and a full write-up on the installation.

MKTG INC 4 Good: We’re Good People, We Swear
MKTG INC believes in the power of community and giving back. That’s why we’ve launched MKTG INC’s charitable arm, MKTG INC 4 Good.

Google Us
Flight delayed? Good. If you’re taking to the skies on Virgin Atlantic, it’ll give you more time to play around with Google’s new Chromebook. Event Marketer did a nice write up of the program MKTG developed with Google to drive awareness of its soon-to-launch laptop. Lucky airline passengers and guests of New York’s Ace Hotel can get their hands on these sleek PCs from now until the end of September.
