It’s great to see agricultural advertising get noticed in the non-ag world. Take this post on Adrants. Steve noticed that New Holland is hip and that Colle+McVoy is responsible. You’ll be seeing just how hip, or should I say, “country,” New Holland is in coming days right here.

Porter Novelli Adelaide GroupI just finished a blogging/podcasting workshop with the Porter Novelli agency in Adelaide, Australia. I only wish I had been able to be there in person. This fine looking group did send me a picture from during the presentation. I had control of their computer with NetMeeting and we were on speakerphone.
