April 2008

We are pleased to announce our new East Coast rep, Carolyn Hill! In her life outside of finding crazy cool work for Blind, Carolyn is a respected poet whose work has been published by a number of reputable literary reviews. Carolyn’s poetry was most recently seen in The Mississippi Review, and we are thrilled to have her many talents on our team!

In a move befitting his long history with Blind, Sakona Kong has signed on to provide creative leadership as Art Director. A former Blind intern and student of Chris Do at the Otis College of Art and Design, Sakona spent time freelancing around town, contributing his skills in design, illustration and animation to a number of high profile campaigns including Scion, Spike, Electronic Arts, Apple, Target, Budweiser, Fox and Kyocera. Having come full circle, we are thrilled to have Sakona back in the fold!

It’s standing room only in Blind’s trophy cabinet these days, thanks to a recent influx of little silver and bronze men. The 2007 Telly Awards honored Blind with 11 statues, recognizing our team’s hard work and artistry in a variety of categories.

“Vending Machine,” Blind’s innovative promo package for NFL on Fox, garnered a coveted silver award in the Sports/Sporting Events category and also snagged a bronze for Use of Animation.

Justin Timberlake’s music video “LoveStoned,” Cellular South spot “Bus Club” and the XBox 360 campaign were honored with two Tellys each, bringing home bronze statues in the music video, graphics and animation categories.

Other Blind winners included LA Times “Sunglasses” and Newport Beach Film Festival promo “Elves in Outer Space.” Congratulations to all our winners!
