Summer 2010 has brought some exciting new things to Philadelphia….from new Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt to a new Apple store on Walnut Street and the introduction of the Cheesesteak Pretzel (ewwwwwww). Just as exciting (well, to us at least) this summer brought us two new additions to our creative team.
Justin Lafontaine is our newest designer and has migrated all the way from Calgary where he did freelance design and worked at Veer and Corbis Images. He started out as a design intern at Backstreet Communications in Alberta, Canada and his work has been recognized by the Webby Awards, HOW and the Applied Arts Design Awards. Just last week, Justin was profiled on the Communication Arts website.
Our newest copywriter, Jill Spradley, made the journey to Philly from Las Vegas, where she worked on accounts such as MGM/Mirage, W Hotels, and Borgata Hotel and Casino. She is a graduate of the University of Georgia, and spent time working as a junior copywriter at BBDO Atlanta.
Welcome Justin and Jill!

I have been interning at 160 for the past 12 weeks, and wow, has the time flown. Working with the awesome crew at 160 has made my first big city living experience one hell of a summer. I have learned so much from 160 through observing during check ins, work sessions, and just being around such talented designers. I had the opportunity to meet and discover the interesting personalities that make up the crew. Check out the poster, which will give you an idea of my time at 160. MORE

What do you get when you mix a few Philadelphia creative agencies with a hot summer day, fierce competition, team spirit and soccer? The inaugural Agency Cup, naturally.
Yesterday, 160over90, TrueAction, Evoke, The Brownstein Group and Tierney Communications gathered at Drexel’s Vidas Athletic Field to indulge in some serious soccer matches. Luckily the threat of thunderstorms didn’t pan out…but the 100 degree temps did. Nevertheless, everyone pushed through the scorching heat and came to play.
Congratulations to Trueaction, who battled it out in our super sweaty tournament to take home the trophy as the Agency Cup champions!
Thanks so much to the participants and those who came to cheer us all on. Also, a huge thanks to Drexel for providing their fantastic facilities and services.

It’s that time of the year again, when the sports world is enthralled in the (possible) retirement of Brett Favre, mainly for the fact that no one knows for sure if he’s going to come back to play another season with the Vikings. Last season Favre led his team to a NFC championship game but ultimately lost against the Saints. So maybe to some he has unfinished business and wants to lead them all the way. MORE
