We started it off with a huge billboard installation at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto. Oddly enough, the balcony from my place looks across a park&#8230; right into the corner of Yonge and Dundas Square. So basically I fall asleep staring at my own copywriting on a gigantic billboard. There are worse things&#8230;</p>

<p>Last Friday the billboards and the impending campaign got profiled by Jennifer Wells in the <a href="http://business.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090219.wadhocracy0220/BNStory/robMarketing/home"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Globe and Mail</span></a> and the billboards got some talk time on <a href="http://www.stimulantonline.ca/stimulus/695/sign_of_the_times.html"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">Stimulant</span></a>.  We&#8217;re working right now on a very cool website, <a href="http://www.screwyourecession.com"><span style="color:#800080;">Screw You Recession!</span></a>, that&#8217;s launching very soon. So stay tuned&#8230;</p>
