What’s the Big Idea? Find Out Next Wednesday
ADOTAS EXCLUSIVE — Looming recession, cold New York weather and dead-end leads gotcha down? Panic not. Digital Wednesdays is here to inject some much-needed cheer (and possibly a lead or two) into the lives of ad agency bees, publishers, rich-media and mobile gurus and entrepreneurs of all stripes – as long as they’re digital.
Digital Wednesdays is held every Wednesday (duh) at the Corio restaurant and bar in SoHo (337 West Broadway to be exact) between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Judging from last night’s turnout, aim for 7 p.m. or later. DW is hosted by Max Ramirez, director of ad sales at Blinkx.com and his stated goal is “to make the next big dot.com idea happen … today!” An excellent, if perhaps slightly lofty, ambition for your average hump day.
DW boasts 3,000 members but on a typical (at least a typical chilly) evening, expect anywhere from 10 and 100 people. The vibe is friendly and laid-back and the setting is all lush velvet settees, votive candles and sexy (if that’s possible) wallpaper and décor. (Corio also hosts Burlesque evenings, ooh la la).
A gaggle of Eyeblaster employees piled into Corio last night, including manager of business development Georgiana Mirea. Also in attendance: business development strategist Michael Demby and blogger and analyst Marshall Sponder among many other smiling faces enjoying the company, the creative cocktails, delicious wines and beer.
Oh yes, and the witty exchange of big ideas, plots and plans.
