I stopped writing Recession Freakout. I had to. I was getting too depressed. I simply could not wake up every day and go searching for bad news.

Now, if you have made it this far, we have been rather busy bucking the recession. We have added new clients to our roster in the past couple of months: The Montana Lottery, The United Nation’s affiliated International Renewable Energy Organization (an Inter Governmental Organization), San Francisco’s Zopa - a very smart alternative to old-fashioned lending and Missoula’s St. Patrick’s Hospital and Health Sciences Center (A Providence Health and Services hospital).

I am beginning to think that advertisers are breaking away from what isn’t working and are looking for new agencies to help them grow in our soft economy.
