Doner Media

We’re excited to share that we’ve been invited to do something very special, very rare: a retrospective in the gallery of The One Club for Art & Copy celebrating 70 years of changing the destiny of brands through creativity. For those in the advertising creative community, the One Club is one the most revered advertising societies in the world. Its Creative Hall of Fame is filled with the greatest names in the business from David Ogilvy to Lee Clow. The One Club only hosts retrospective shows every couple of years. And only with those whose work it deems as the best in the industry. We are thrilled to accept this special opportunity. You can read more here: Doner Retrospective at The One Club

High-fives, victory clasps and elbow bumps. Celebratory gestures have evolved over the years with the fist bump being favored at today’s White House. As we start a new chapter here at Doner we’ve sharpened our focus on hiring and developing the best and brightest employees (sparking thumbs-ups throughout the agency). So we’re happy to welcome Michael Reneau, who joins us as senior VP, general manager, to lead our Canadian offices. We also promoted several people within our Brand Leadership and Media departments and we want to give a shout-out to Jessica Perry, VP, strategic planner; Jessica (Bejin) Tobin, VP, brand leader; Jennifer Quenville, senior VP, strategic leader; Alicia Lingenfelter, VP, associate media director and Suzanne Perry, digital media supervisor. Please give them a handshake (or your favorite friendly gesture) to congratulate them on their new posts.

WHAT: Doner employees got into the Halloween spirit with their annual pumpkin carving contest. With the most creative minds in advertising accepting the challenge, Doner employees quickly carved, poked, painted and sculpted their designs within the one-hour time limit.  Seventeen teams designed pumpkins that range from Octomom in labor; to a glowing Coleman campfire made out of pumpkins; and the famous scene from The Shining. The contest is currently on display, and online employee voting began noon on Wednesday. The winners will be announced at our Trick ‘O Treat event at 4 p.m. on Thursday.

WHERE: Doner Advertising, 25900 Northwestern Highway, Southfield MI.

WHEN: Wednesday, Oct. 28 – Thursday, Oct. 29: Pumpkins will be on display.
