$5,000. Going once! Do I hear $6,000?

CP+B continues to set the bar for inventive marketing strategies – even for themselves. This year’s CP+B interns are up for sale on ebay. Weird? Yes. Brilliant? Yes. Attention-getting? Of course!! But why do this…? Don’t interns suffer enough?

This was one way to give them a little extra cash - they'll split the proceeds. Plus, the interns gain that ever so valuable “real world” experience by putting together a marketing/branding/creative presentation for the winning bidder.

The clock is ticking. Place your bid or just rubberneck at the eBay listing here...

Congrats to FOMA*!

Denver-based band "FOMA*" beat out a host of seriously heavyweight competitors including Wendy Woo, Jason Vigil and Savage Henry to take home the top prize in LAMG/Alice 105.9's Almost Famous Band Battle at Herman's Hideaway. Part of their prize package includes time at Coupe as well as a co-bill show with local favorites Meniskus.
Our own Greg McRae (Rose Hill Drive, DeVotchKa, Flobots) will be engineering their sessions - he was a guest judge the night of the semi-finals, so he's psyched to get to work with them here in our Studio A later this month.

PS - In a bizarre coincidence, FOMA*'s multi-talented Joe Apice appears in the Molson beer commercial lower on this page as "The Werewolf."
