We have been in business for around 40 months now. From a business point of view we have been careful about our growth. From a work standpoint, we have been aggressive. We have pushed the envelope in a number of ways and the quality of our work is very strong. We are proud of what we are doing here at RD2. Soon, we will be updating our portfolio and making posts about new brands, web sites and campaigns.
It is a bit uncharacteristic of me to use our blog as a method for recruiting, but I felt our blog would be an appropriate mechanism to let the community around us know that we are looking for talent. In the off-chance that any of you are potential future team members, we would like to get to know more about you. We don’t hire fast. It absolutely needs to feel like the fit is great on both sides of the equation.
If you are interested in a career with us, or if you know of someone who is, please get in touch. We are looking for help in the following areas:
- Project Management
- Account Management
- Design
- Front End Coding
- Application Development
Please email resumes and portfolios and we will get back with you: jobs@rd2inc.com
I have recently started a sketchbook collection on Flickr. I have started scanning a bunch of sketches that currently live in one of my many sketchbooks but also plan to add new material periodically. The thing that I love about sketching is that it appeals to my desire for instant creative gratification.. I can create something with my pencil and a piece of paper in an instant. It is a nice contrast to the more intensive projects that take hours and hours to create. Enjoy the randomness!
Today we pushed the launch button on the Shopping.com blog. The blog is called WhatsInStoreBlog.com. It’s a blog for shoppers featuring “Tips, Trends and Things We Love.” I don’t want to say too much in this post because I am careful not to steal the thunder from our team….they were the ones who ultimately delivered. My job is just to brag on them. So, I will encourage them to tell you about the ideas and the process for how this came to be.
Also, it was great working with a new Blogstar, Wendy Sept. Wendy has great energy and was really great to work with. You’ll be seeing a lot from her if you pay attention to the WhatsInStoreBlog.com blog.
Although we do work on weekends every once in a while, we decided to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day a little early this year at the office. With enough Guinness and Bass for plenty of Black and Tans, as well as some green shamrock cookies, we threw ourselves a little party this afternoon. After the creative team was done taking fancy pictures of the empty bottles, Mr. Rogers decided to chug a beer as Ronan filmed.
It should be noted that Griego, after having a two margarita lunch of his own, was very quick to call Brandon out for singing and making up words.
About a year ago my mom got really obsessed with the online video feed of a certain baby panda. She would send emails to me AT WORK (old job) telling me to “go look at what the baby panda is doing! He’s up in the tree and he’s so cute.” She is quoted as saying about this panda, “that is what life is all about.” I laughed.
I recently got robbed. My practice room, where I go to sound bad on my instrument, was full of all of my gear and someone decided to take it all while I was in Mexico climbing (see recent post). I have a renters insurance policy that I got when I moved into the room to protect myself if something like this happened. I asked a certain insurance agency (ALLSTATE) if my equipment would be covered should the room get broken into when I got the policy. Well, wouldn’t you know it… it IS covered.. but only about 2 grand worth. So that would have been kindov nice to know. Not really going to cover the $13,000 of gear I lost. So I am in a sad place right now but I believe it will all work out. Worse things have happened to people.
Good friends are a true blessing in life and I am honored to be surrounded by them here at RD2. Upon hearing of this news, they got together and decided to give me a VERY generous sum of money to help me begin a new collection. I can’t tell you what that meant to me. So I just wanted to say THANK YOU publicly to my good friends here at RD2. It’s great to be surrounded by people who are not only some of the hardest workers I have ever met, but really look out for each other. I think THAT may be what life is all about… although watching a baby panda on the internet is pretty close. Thanks, friends! You RULE!
RD2 was kind enough to cover for me for a week so I could go to Mexico to climb at El Potrero Chico. If you’re into climbing and haven’t been down there… start planning your trip now. Amazing climbing, amazing culture, great food.
