Richmond Roundup

Richmond BizSense published an update on items involving the area’s communications community.  That update includes the following:

Neathawk Dubuque & Packett added Mitchell Jordan as design studio lead and Bill Weinstein as creative lead. Jordan collaborated on marketing creative for Showtime shows such as “Dexter,” “Homeland” and “Nurse Jackie” for nearly a decade. Weinstein’s credits include a Cannes’ finalist and One Show gold, as well as work for Microsoft as a writer at Wieden+Kennedy. In addition, the agency has been tapped by Roanoke-based Breakaway Sports & Entertainment to provide strategic communications for the reintroduction of single-A professional hockey to the area as part of the Southern Professional Hockey League. The Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs begin playing in the fall of 2016.

Madison+Main launched a statewide campaign for the Virginia Energy Sense program, through a partnership with the Alliance Group and Burson-Marstellar. The campaign includes a TV PSA that runs in central, southwestern and southeastern parts of the state; as well as the first in a series of online videos that introduced “Jack,” an animated wall plug that is the new face of the Virginia Energy Sense program.

Vance has been retained by Children Incorporated, a Richmond-based international child-sponsorship organization; Donate Life Virginia, the state’s registry for organ, eye and tissue donation; and the Virginia Department of Health, which hired the agency for a second consecutive year to promote its statewide #MisstheFlu campaign. A new video series for that campaign is slated for launch in mid-December.
