Remember how we sent half the agency on the AIDS/Lifecycle as part of winning the San Francisco AIDS Foundation redesign? Well, our work is done. And you see it here.

Unfortunately, their work–the work to defeat the spread of AIDS and HIV is far from over.

You can give here.

Not only is Mortar the proud editor of MortarBlog, we are also a fast-growing San Francisco shop specializing in integrated brand communications.

Yes we are.

We attract a great mix of clients who love our blend of integrated services.

Now, we need a fiendishly clever Public Relations Pro.

Most important is finding a self-starter with the right blend of media and client relations experience and superb organizational and writing skills.

Our ideal candidate will think differently about PR and understand how it interacts with marketing, branding and all the rest of the communications goodness. They will have an acute sense of the big picture, get excited by the possibilities of a start-up and won’t break a sweat at the challenges of a small budget. They will also need 3-5 years experience pitching consumer goods and services, with at least 1-2 in an agency. (Oh, and sorry, but we don't want to hear those w/only deep-tech exp.).

You’ll also need a killer book—heavy on media coverage that made a difference, great writing and creative, strategic programs.

Sense of humor g-o-o-d. 

In addition to the obligatory coffee, skittles and beer, we’re offering something a little different.

The chance to help build a new kind of agency. 

Send an email pitch to heythere@mortarpr.com, along with your resume.

Due to time constraints, we can only respond to candidates we want to interview.

Also, we can’t consider candidates who live outside the Bay Area. Sorry.

And no calls, please. We’re on the phone enough already.

Y’all know we’re tight with the good people at Bacon Salt, right? They’re not our client or anything (ahem, nudge-nudge,) but they’re our homies. So we were psyched out of our minds to see Baconnaise get possibly the World’s Longest Plug on The Daily Show last night.
It starts here at about 3:45.

All good, right?
Then, at about 2:14, this happened.

Um…ouch!
First off, we’d like to say, “Nuh-uh, all things Bacon Salt are good.” Second off, we’d like to tell the kids at Bacon Salt to keep their heads up – the Daily Show audience is widely populated by…how do we say this? People who are predisposed to eating stuff. Because they’re unusually hungry.

(Paging Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps to a white courtesy phone…)

So when Baconnaise made its first appearance, we could hear a collective “Duuuuuuuuuuuuude, we gotta get some of that!” ring out across the nation.
(OK, so we could also hear the “On second thought…” across the nation, too. But it wasn’t as loud.)
In fact, we (Ok, they,) even have consumer video proving conclusively that Baconnaise does not make your tongue…you know.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww. Does the bunny at 1:58 remind you of anyone?
Nice job, Samsung.

Viral goodness via the good people at Adrants.
