Just got out of the facebook developer garage here at sxsw. The conference has been pretty amazing so far, I’ve met a lot of great people, and heard a lot of great ideas. When I get back to Brooklyn I’ll post some links to some of the better talks I heard and some of the pictures I took.
Tonight I’ll be at the tumblr rock band party, then who knows. Twitter @kortina if you’re out and want to meetup.
This week we begin the process of hiring a new Social Media Marketing Director to the company. We could not be happier to begin this process as it is a sure sign of our vast and continued success. I am sure it will not be long before we are the most recognized name throughout NYC and the Northeast as one of the truly creative Web 2.0 firms. If you are interested in this position, or know someone who would be a great candidate to become part of the Carrot Crew, please click HERE to find out more.
They say color breeds creativity. I’m not quite sure who “they” are, but I do know that this weekend marked the beginning of making the Carrot Creative Brooklyn Headquarters one of the most creative spaces in New York City. Saturday and Sunday were spent splashing Carrot green all around the office. We even got the girlfriends to pitch in, which we can not thank them enough for. And while this is only the first step in making this new office space our own, we are pumped to have more weekends invested in creating a new Carrot Creative home. Check out our Flickr to see the end result of the painting extravaganza.
Carrot Creative’s Crew would like to invite family and friends to come celebrate our company’s 3rd Birthday and the opening of our new Brooklyn office. We are calling the night “Cocktails & Carrots” and I assure you it will be a ton of fun. The party will take place Thursday April 17th from 7 - 9 at our new pad Suite 329 on 55 Washington St. Brooklyn NY.
After work today, I’m leaving straight from the DUMBO office for Austin, TX. I’m super excited that Carrot is sending me down to represent at SXSW. I’ve wanted to go now for a number of years, but just haven’t made it yet for some reason.
Anyway, I’ll be down there meeting new people, taking photos, and hopefully learning a lot. Let me know if you’re gonna be down there and want to meet up or if you have any suggestions for events to check out. You can drop me a line at http://twitter.com/kortina
Now, back to work for a few more hours.
Just a little promotional piece.
On the third day, of the third month, in the year two thousand and eight, Carrot Creative begins its dominance in the greatest city of the modern world—New York City. Today marks the first day that Carrot’s office in Brooklyn’s DUMBO district is open for business. We will be setting up the office all week, but please stop by 55 Washington Street, Suite 329 to see the magnificent view of both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge, overlooking the river to the grandest cityscape, we get to look at every day. Can you tell that we are a little excited about this office? But just because we’ve opened a new office, we have not forgotten our roots in Connecticut as our Hamden office is still open for business.
It’s not every day that a man finds a woman, falls in love, and knows he never wants to leave her side. 
And she, in return, will always tolerate his late nights at the office and quirky blog postings about a cat. Alright, so maybe this did not happen all in one night, but rather the course of a few years, still we are elated to congratulate Chris Petescia on his engagement to his long time girlfriend Lisa. After deciding that it would be in poor taste to offer an engagement ring logo for his proposal, Chris enlisted the help of Mike to assist in the dispensing of his entire life savings for the perfect ring for his special lady. And while he will not give us the full details of the magical night, one thing is for certain… We need to start planning for a huge bachelor party.
