Keeping a List and checking it twice? Mac Things Product Review

Posted By: Chase Gooch

Tags:  Product Review, Event Trends, Consumers, Creative Republic,

I’m a person who gets really excited about office products.  I get goose bumps when I see a new cool pen or someone shows me their daily organizer.  I just can’t get enough of it.  The thought that this simple little object could transform me into a highly organized and efficient machine at work excites me.  A direct side effect of this highly delusional thinking is I’ve been able to sample just about every product out there.  

A year ago I was in the market for a personal task management system, which utilized the highly popular, though life altering, Getting Things Done theory as its organizational platform.  After weeks of research I finally decided to try Mac Things developed by Culture Code. The reviews were stellar...

Posted By: Rachel Eisenhauer

Tags:  Event Trends, Consumers, Events,


If you are a professional in either the marketing or events industries – in my case both – than it’s not news to you how crucial it is to stay at the forefront of industry trends. One of my favorite trends to follow is Pantone’s selection of color of the year. 


Pantone is the global authority on color. (How cool would it be to have that job!) Pantone inspires design professionals in every industry from graphics and marketing to fashion and interior décor. Even in the event management industry, a simple facet such as a color can be the ultimate inspiration for an event. Pantone’s selection for the color of the year for 2010 is Turquoise. The press release states: “Turquoise transports us to an exciting, tropical paradise while offering a sense of protection and healing in stressful times.”

Working with and delivering creative assets on a daily basis for clients always keeps our design team on the lookout for the latest presentation gadgets.  When delivering assets, be it proposals, videos, audio or general creative elements, we always like to print custom, professional-looking CDs and DVDs to deliver to our clients. We feel it’s just one of those extra touches that shows professionalism and thoughtfulness—creating one of those “oooh ahhh” moments. Believe me, the little things like this say way more about your company than you would think. 


The latest addition to our presentation arsenal is the DYMO DiscPainter. This gadget has been out for a while and honestly, we heard about it way before we decided to make the purchase. The website and testimonials are quite impressive and the demonstration videos really do highlight the cool factor.  So, our need for a quick yet high-quality disc printer had become a priority and after a designer-friend in the business recommended the DYMO DiscPainter, without too much hesitation, we had one setup for the office.

Katie's Top 10: 10 Consumer Trends for 2010

Posted By: Katie Ellis

Tags:  Event Trends, Consumers, Top 10,

I LOVE lists.  Lists bring me comfort when I am stressed, focus me when I am distracted, and keep me productive when I am beat — lists help me to be successful.  Lists track progress, determine priorities and minimize redundant work.  Also, I make lists so that I can cross things off — so at the end of the day I have record of how I spent my time.  A secret — sometimes when I need to self motivate I include simple tasks on my list just so that I can cross them off quickly.  Silly I know, but it seems to work. 

Considering my passion for lists I am sure you will not be surprised to learn that I like Top 10, Top 50, and Top 100 lists too.  If someone goes to the trouble of narrowing something down to the top 10, it get’s my attention!  And so begins my blog series – "Katie’s Top 10."
