Tonic takes the Gold

March 19, 2009

tonic-addyAt this year’s ADDY Awards in Phoenix, Tonic Photo Studios entered Matt Baldwin’s Smoke and Water series. We were excited to learn that Matt won, even more so when we found out that Tonic took the Gold ADDY award!

The ADDY’s are the advertising industry’s version of the Oscars. It was a fun event! We can’t wait to see what happens in the next round. Of course, we knew all along that Matt’s work was worthy, but it sure is great to get industry recognition.

The Little Black Hen

March 3, 2009

An inspirational sales message from Rob Seaver,
VP Strategic Marketing, R and R Images

Said the little red rooster, “Gosh all hemlock. Things are tough
Seems worms are getting scarcer, and I cannot find enough.
What’s become of all those fat ones is a mystery to me;
There were thousands through that rainy spell – now where can they all be?”

The Old Black Hen who heard him didn’t grumble or complain,
She had gone through lots of dry spells, she had lived through floods of rain,
So she flew upon the grindstone, and she gave her claws a whet,
As she said “I’ve never seen the time that there weren’t worms to get.”
She picked a new and un-dug spot; the earth was hard and firm.
The little rooster jeered, “New hard ground? That’s no place for a worm!”
The Old Black Hen just spread her feel, and she dug both fast and free…
“I must go to the worms,” she said, “the worms won’t come to me.”

The rooster vainly spent his day, through habit, by the ways
Where fat round worms had passed in squads back in the rainy days.
When nightfall found him supper-less, he growled in accents rough,
“I’m as hungry as a fowl can be. Conditions sure are tough.”
He turned to the Old Black Hen and said, “It’s even worse with you.
For you’re not only hungry, but you must be tired too.
I rested while I watched for worms, so I feel fairly pert;
But how are you? Without worms too? And after all that work?”

The Old Black Hen hopped to her perch and drooped her eyes to sleep,
And murmured in a drowsy tone, “Young man, hear this and weep:
I’m full of worms and happy, for I’ve dined both long and well.
The worms are there as always – but I had to dig like hell!”

Oh, here and there red roosters still, are holding sales positions.
They cannot do much business now because of ‘poor conditions’,
But soon as ‘things’ get right again, they’ll sell a hundred firms —
Meanwhile the old black hens are out and gobbling up the worms.

At R and R Images, Inc. we truly take this message to heart, and dig like hell. Whether its in taking care of a client or researching and implementing the latest technology or leading the pack we do it all with a ton of hard work and determination.
