Ring the alarm, this site is blazing.

June 26th, 2009 author: Matt FaJohn

We recently launched a new agency site for Firehouse, our good friends down in Dallas.
This clean Flash experience is highly focused on communicating their personality through non-traditional navigation and clever copy.

Check it out here.

Sean loves fashion.

This Thursday is the first of three shows in the Riverfront Park Fashion Series. It’s an amazing time, and it’s for a good cause -the proceeds go towards Railyard Dogs, a future downtown dog park. Thursdays event features select pieces from Catherine Malandrino. Pick up your tickets HERE. See you there.

FL2 needs a Receptionist / Administrative Wonder.

June 16th, 2009 author: admin

So what does that mean for you?

Well, you will be responsible for handling all incoming calls, greeting clients and visitors, the conference room (preparation setup/clean-up for various meetings), and other miscellaneous administrative help. Set-up includes making coffee, so if that might bug you than we probably aren’t a good fit (don’t worry, we all take it black). And… well clean-up is clean-up (we all help out whenever we can).

As for the other parts of this job…be prepared to multi-task and help juggle a bunch of tasks as we continue to grow (e.g. administrative duties, general office support, running errands, helping members of the operations team, filing, shredding, ordering lunch, kitchen clean-up, etc.).

A successful candidate will know he or she is integral to helping the team stay focused on other tasks and hopefully realize that we will appreciate this help. You will have a good sense of humor, great energy, and a positive aura. As for experience, we are looking for someone with strong phone skills, attention to detail, a love of multi-tasking, and the ability to work well independently. We are an interactive agency, so being efficient with all of the online tools and resources out there is pretty important to us, too.

Additionally, a good knowledge of Microsoft Office Outlook, Word and Excel is required.

The idea is that this will be a part-time position for 4-6 weeks. Based on performance and the status of the agency, the position will open up to full-time. So yes, it’s technically a temporary position…but with a little luck it will work out full-time for both of us.

If you are interested, please send a brief letter of interest, your resume, and three references via email to jobs@FL-2.com. We will be interviewing our top three on Friday, June 19th.

FL2 is getting social!

We are having a get together tonight at the Meadow Lark to celebrate the birthdays for Matt and Matt. We are also sending off Dave and Shannon for their big adventure to NYC. You should come down and show your true colors from 7-10. Birthday shots will be accepted with open arms.
Hope to see you there!

Photoshoot for W.E.B. magazine out of Korea.

May 12th, 2009 author: David Snyder

We needed to snap a photo (see above) of some of the dudes who helped with the 2009 FL2 site – and here it is. We took the photo across the street at Andenken gallery (thanks Tom). W.E.B. magazine is doing a spread on both the new site and FL2.

A Note On Browsing.

We couldn't help but notice your choice of browser (Internet Explorer 6). You see — you've chosen a browser that is, as of October 2008, 7 years old. We doubt your cell phone is 7 years old.

Online, just as offline, technologies change fast. It's best to think of "years" in this industry as "dog years" — making your browser 49 years old.

Now, we know this might not be your fault. Many of us use work computers and are at the mercy of our IT departments. Oftentimes IT departments are slow to upgrade their company machines. Surprising when it comes to this particular browser — the most unsecured and vulnerable browser still used today.

So what can you do?

Don't worry — it's easy. Upgrade! [the crowd rejoices] Something you should do often no matter the browser or operating system you choose. All modern browsers will import your Bookmarks and Favorites and upgrading happens in less than 5 minutes.

Thanks for understanding,
FL2

Alas, our site will work in IE6 — in fact it runs just fine. It's just that we want you to have a better Internet experience than the one you're used to.

Can A Web Browser Be Cool?

We think so. Here's what we recommend!

FireFox / Ah, the developer's favorite — a tried and true champion of the Open-Source movement. Even better, this browser will make your IT department happy. They are probably running it and just haven't invited you to the party yet. Upgrade Now!

Safari / Runs on Apples WebKit — the best (x)HTML/CSS rendering engine on the market. It's fantastic and even works on a PC. So if you're feeling left out because you don't have a Mac — at least you can use their browser. Upgrade Now!

Chrome (Beta) / Google's highly anticipated browser — it's soon to be a market leader. Runs on Apple's WebKit engine but has some uber-modern features that will soon make it the leader. With it's wicked clean and simple User Interface it's the fastest of the bunch. Upgrade Now!

Internet Explorer / OK, at the very least upgrade your Internet Explorer 6 browser to the most recent version. It's not what we would suggest, but it's light years ahead of where you are at currently. Upgrade Now!
