New Projects Bring Back Old Memories

It has been an exciting and busy time in the office lately as we have been working on some very exciting projects. We have recently partnered with Saatchi & Saatchi‘s New York office and have been commissioned to work on a Web 2.0 project for JCPenney.

There have been a lot of jokes thrown around the office about back to school shopping while working on this project. It’s funny to be working on a project for a client when we can remember our moms bringing us to their stores every year before we went back to school.

It certainly brings back a lot of memories of being dragged through the aisles of the department store with my sister picking out a little bit of everything, my brother punching me in the arms and mom asking me from outside the dressing room, “What do you mean those jeans don’t fit? I didn’t think you’d gained that much weight!” Then, of course, I’d return to school with the latest fall fashions, and damn … I looked good.

Here’s to a long and happy partnership with Saatchi & Saatchi and JCPenney.

VIP TXT was recently featured on the Web2NewYork blog!

We are thrilled to annouce that VIP TXT will be unveiled Tuesday, May 13 at the Web2NewYork Networking Party. Although it has been a long and arduous process getting VIP TXT ready for launch, we could not be happier to have it prepared for the summer months. And although we will be debuting it in the New Haven, Hartford and Stamford CT areas, we can guarentee that it will not be long before VIP TXT is THE connection for all of your nightlife needs.

Work at Carrot for a Day!

Stop by the Carrot Creative Brooklyn Headquarters and work for the day!

As part of our ongoing efforts to support the growing New Media community in the Northeast, Carrot Creative is offering our Brooklyn office space as a “home away from home” for any bloggers, developers, web designers and any other New Media types that find themselves in the NYC area in need of a temporary place to work. Anyone who visits will find we strike a perfect balance of professionalism and fun on a day-to-day basis. Simply drop us an e-mail, a twitter—any means of communication letting us know when you will be in our neighborhood.

This initiative also marks a new series on the Carrot Blog which will highlight each person who works from the Carrot offices for the day. And while I would like to say more, I think I will let our newest addition to the Carrot Blog tell you more about our office sharing adventures.

First and Ten

Today marks yet another potential scoring drive for Carrot Creative. I just got back from a meeting with the NFL (National Football League), yet I am still awestruck with the potential of working with a client that is solely responsible for our winter recreation (that being staring at a wide-screen TV or laptop screen for hours on end to watch the gridiron games). Although I can not further elaborate on this potential opportunity, I can say that the new logo for the NFL and the Championship rings for the New York Football Giants, both of which I got to see first hand at the meeting, are simply stunning.

NYC Office Opens Today!

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.

Love is In the Air

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.

Hello Everyone my name is Andrew.

When I was a senior at UPenn some of my friends informed me that people do other things than consulting, i-banking, and graduate school after college. As a philosophy undergrad, I had resigned myself to the last of these, but the entrepreneurship thing sounded much more exciting; I have always been very competitive and–ah–persistent.

After working for a few years on internet startups in Philadelphia, I moved to NYC and got a sweet gig at iminlikewithyou, where I worked as the lead database / application engineer with an awesome team of flash developers to help build a social game site.

Since then, I’ve been doing some interactive advertising applications for clients like Comedy Central and USA, but I just got the opportunity to join Carrot Creative as Chief Development Officer. I’m very excited about some of the stuff we’ll be working on–should be fun!

Movin' On Up

I am proud to announce that Carrot Creative will be making the much anticipated move to NYC in March 2008. After a long, arduous search, we have found our NYC home in Brooklyn, specifically the DUMBO area. Check out My Flicker for photos of this stellar space.

It seems like yesterday when we began Carrot in a small office in Connecticut. Now, only a few years later, we are rooting ourselves in the best and brightest city in the world. Our success would not be possible without the love and belief that our family, friends and clients have given us through these years. Thank you for that.
