Lambesis, Carlsbadistan’s world famous advertising agency, is getting a load of press for their latest campaign for Skyy Vodka called Skyy Sexy according to a story on Popsop.com.
SKYY® Vodka announced a new ad campaign featuring bold, vibrant imagery that is provocative and engaging. The prints are shot by world-renowned photographer Raymond Meier, who last worked with SKYY on the 2008 SKYY Infusions launch ad campaign, and kicks off the global “SKYY SEXY” marketing push in support of the core, unflavored brand.
Shiny, slick, fetish gear always reminds us of the gimp scene from Pulp Fiction, but hey, if Skyy thinks it will help sell more vodka, then Lambesis has a real winner.
We love the fact that Carlsbadistan is loaded with business so tech that we’ll never understand exactly what they produce or how they produce it. For instance, Carlsbadistan based satellite technology company ViaSat today announced the release of the AltaSec IPS-250 inline network encryptor.
The new product enables U.S. warfighters and government agencies to create secure IP networks without the expensive logistics and lifecycle costs associated with handling and accounting for Controlled Cryptographic Items (CCI). The IPS-250 is designed to secure networks to Secret and Below levels, and provide interoperability between CCI and CHVP/Non-CCI IP encryption devices. . . In accord with NSA CHVP guidelines, ViaSat is developing this new class of products based on its NSA-certified Type 1 cryptographic and cyber security product line.
Nothing shows that the economy has turned around and local business is looking up more than the arrival of a new massage location in the Village of Carlsbadistan.
According to their “therapeutic services” posts on Craigslist Oceana offers “Swedish, Shiatsu Deep Tissue, Hot Oil Relax Massage, Chinese Traditional Massage, and what we’re guessing will be very popular, their “Unique Chinese Hot Tub.”
Oceana Massage is open seven days a week from 10 AM to 10 PM. Be sure to ask for their grand opening special of “$5 off on Reflexology.” For more information call: (760) 730-3380.
Carlsbadistan’s claim to fame in the world of women’s fitness is, of course, Jazzercise. And it appears that two-time Dancing With The Stars Champion Cheryl Burke was in town recently to film a new commercial for the company. Apparently, Jazzercise is Cheryl Burke’s kind of fitness.
Appy Entertainment, our favorite Carlsbadistan Village-based IOS game developers were pretty stoked when Steve Jobs announced on Wednesday that the new Apple iPod Touch comes standard with a front facing camera because that means that Appy’s FaceFighter game finally works perfectly on the device.
“Camera-enabled gaming is a new experience possible only with this generation of mobile devices,” said Appy Entertainment CEO Chris Ulm. “Mobile gamers want personal experiences, and there’s no better way to personalize a game than making a photo of a friend or enemy the center of your game. Appy is proud to publish iTunes’ finest photo game experience in FaceFighter, and we’re just scratching the surface of what this new game form can achieve!”
Carlsbadistan’sMaxLinear, makers of a “highly integrated radio-frequency analog and mixed signal semiconductor system-on-a-chip” was listed as number 17 on the Inc. Magazine top 500 fastest growing privately held companies list this month saying that the company has grown 8784% in the past three years to a 2009 revenue of $51.4 million.
San Diego Union-Tribune columnist Logan Jenkins spent got a free lunch last week at the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce with CEO Ted Owen and he was obviously impressed.
As you’d expect, Carlsbad’s chamber is the second-largest in the county and 10th largest in the state. It doesn’t need taxpayer funds to operate. Its stylish headquarters in a business park near the airport convey affluence. A dozen employees stoke the engine of local commerce with close to 300 events a year and glossy in-house publications that make money. . . Not exactly the sort of business where you’d expect to find the pinstriped CEO slipping into an apron to cook meals for employees and guests.
But that’s our Ted, right? Click the link for the rest.
ViaSat, the Carlsbadistan based, manufacturer of all kinds of super stealth communication apparatus just signed a deal with the US Army to provide $477 million worth of troop tracking tech, according to a story in the San Diego Business Journal.
A July 21 company statement said the contract, which is for indefinite delivery and quantity, involves technology called blue force tracking, which allows the armed forces to view regularly updated troop positions on screens in vehicles and aircraft, to differentiate between friendly and enemy forces. . . ViaSat also received the first order for $37.7 million, to fund deliveries of the initial production terminals and other ground networking equipment, the statement said.
Guess we’d offer up the “indefinite delivery and quantity” of pretty much anything for $477 million.
How does one name a conference room? Well, our Carlsbad office is just steps from the great Pacific Ocean, so we are hoping for something beach chic. And while nothing is completely off limits, at Red Door is not the kind of place where we name things “The Board Room,” though come to think of it – given how many of our employees love to surf…nah, we are sure you can be more creative than that!
The agency, who has offices in downtown San Diego and Denver, Colorado will apparently buy beer for the person who comes up with the winning name. Which, come to think of it, is probably why they’re outsourcing this project. Click the link if you have any ideas.
Here’s a shocker. The North County Times “opinion staff” is all in favor of one of their advertisers opening a 153,974 square foot big box home store in Carlsbadistan.
That’s why they’ve written an editorial congratulating the Carlsbad Planning Commission for giving “initial approval” to the Sudberry Development company, for a “153,974-square-foot Lowe’s home improvement store, a gas station, food court and small bank” in the hole on the Southwest corner of El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Rd. Yes, it is a lot that once was home to the Olympic Resort.
While we generally agree that attracting high-tech industrial, engineering and biotech companies ought to be the priority, we recognize the role that retail and like commercial services have for both nearby workers and residents,” the paper said.
Personally, we’d rather travel to the Lowe’s big enough boxes in Oceanside or Vista and keep Carlsbadistan free of big-box blight.
