From all of us here at NDG Communications, we wish you a very happy, healthy, and joyful holiday. We hope you can take some time to spend with family and friends, relax, and prepare for a brighter and prosperous new year. And if you’re ready to turn over a new leaf and GET REAL with your marketing and advertising, we’ll be here for you after the break.
We wish you the Happiest of Holidays, and a Happy New Year to all.
Tags: Holidays, ndg communicationsIn a year of the “Great Recession,” slumps in the housing industry, and rising unemployment, daily life has been challenging to say the least in 2009. As we all prepare to share another Thanksgiving with our families and loved ones, I still believe that, as Americans, we have numerous “silver linings” despite the current economic conditions and conflicts our country is engaged in abroad.
Most of all, I am thankful for that 19-year-old American Soldier, who is in harm’s way and willing to die for the cause of freedom. Their sacrifice allows you and I to celebrate with those we hold dear. Regardless of your politics, opinions or thoughts on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, our troops deserve the respect and appreciation of all Americans.
So before you watch the game tomorrow, or join hands in prayer at the table around your feast of turkey and trimmings, please consider those brave patriots of our military who are standing watch, so we can enjoy a holiday.
On behalf of myself and everyone at NDG would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
Tom Nelson
No tags for this post.Another year of low expectations and even lower delivery for the ad industry at this year’s Super Bowl. Rather than howl on like every other advertising-related blog about the dire collection of hyper-inflated nonsense that was trotted out last night (Danica Patrick in the Shower? And give the Clydesdales a rest, already), we’d just like to share what was very likely the best Super Bowl ad of the entire lot:
It’s probably worth pointing out that nobody at NDG feels this way. Except for Steve, and only when the coffee runs out.

Now that our blog has been up and on its feet for a little while, the character, topics, and tone of the material have become more consistent and our focus more defined.
“Noise to Signal” means cutting through the clutter to create real meaning, and real connections. If you’re not doing that, you’re wasting time and money. We believe in the power of new media to make connections. And while we don’t believe Twitter, Facebook, or Youtube are the ultimate killer channels, we must all acknowledge their power to reshape our communications, and the way we share information.
We’ll continue to relate our news and accomplishments, but we’re also now committed to providing real and meaningful content that can help you connect with the people who live your brand every day. And of course, the occasional industry goodies will be sprinkled here and there to keep you up to speed on e-marketing and advertising in general. Or if we see the work or ideas of others worthy enough to share, we’re even happy to share our spotlight—at least for a minute.
So, go ahead and bookmark us. We promise to continue to deliver. And, if you’re really ready to get real about your marketing and advertising in the 21st century, we’re ready to help you.

This series of ads encouraging public support of the arts from Leo Burnett for AmericansForTheArts.org is a rare example of PSAs that really capture attention and interest. And you should support the arts, too—the world truly needs more Pete Townshends, Aretha Franklins, Itzhak Perlmans, Elmore Leonards, and even Seth Rogens. Besides, we only have one Willie Nelson left.
Guten Taaaaag!

Tags: HolidaysEveryone at NDG would like to wish everyone out there in blogland a Happy Thanksgiving. We’ll be sitting down to turkey with family tomorrow, but we’ll be back in the office Friday to keep things moving along. We hope you’ll have time this year to be with family and friends, and remember all the things that we have to be thankful for…Like gas going down to $1.89 and that new Starbucks opening on the corner.
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
