We will miss our rock star Client Liaison, Adam Cohen. Tracy knew how to throw the perfect Adam party: good people, nachos from his local spot, homemade margaritas and top it off with fresh baked muffins. We also had some Pacifico beers to go with the nachos as you can see Drew & Adam clinking bottles.
Be sure to scroll down for a couple funny videos as well.
For he’s a Jolly Good Fella!

We are sad to see our long time friend and Account Manager Jimmy Straayer leave the Oniracom family. We had a fun party where we presented Jimmy with some fun gifts thanks to our art director Tad Wagner. Then our own Drew Franklin performed some great cover tunes to cap off the fond farewell. The cold Pacifico brews definitely help ease the pain.
WE WILL MISS YOU JIMMY!
Everyone tries to find themselves!
Jimmy appreciating Tad’s awesome work.
Drew the troubadour entertains us.

What are you looking forward to most about Super Bowl XLVI? The game? The parties? The halftime show? As the most watched TV broadcast of the year, the Super Bowl brings much hype. Although the football game is the most obvious reason why people tune into the broadcast, many people tune in for other reasons, specifically the commercials.
Companies spend months strategizing, preparing, creating, and producing innovative and engaging commercials that will grab the viewer’s attention in hopes of promoting their product. In years past, the commercials were kept secret up until the moment they aired and were shown once during the live taping of the game, but last year some marketing officers went against the traditional approach and implemented a new plan of attack. As our society has become more and more engrossed into the world of social media, companies have discovered that combining their commercials with a social media overlay increases not only the awareness of their product, but also “gets the ball rolling” before the commercial airs live on TV.
