Angel recently sent me a link to the ‘Mom and Pop Investors’ blog – discussion of the markets, the global economy and all things worth investing it.

“Smaller cities are aware of the importance of these “creative” workers. Savannah has the Creative Coast Initiative, where the site lists jobs and posts resumes for “creative” types:

It’s a proven fact that brainy-businesses – like internet/web design, digital media, visual design, architecture, business consulting and software development (to name only a few) – are smart businesses that pay smart wages and attract smart people.

Who will succeed at winning the race? Already, you can see some clearcut winners (those in the top five at attracting young people.) Their success will breed more success.”

Pretty cool, eh? We’re famous!

Everyone loves MySpace – what better way to socialize with your friends and make great networking connections?

Well, The Creative Coast Initiative has a page up and running and we would love for you to check us out, add us as your friend, and stay tuned for news and event postings! If you’re fun, hip, tech savvy, creative, innovative, geeky, nerdy, or just interested in being any of those adjectives, we’d love to link you on our page.

Spread the word!

We all know that Savannah is creative, fun, tech savvy and innovative, right?

Well, wouldn’t it be fun to put all that creativity on a map? I sure think so! (That’s because I’m a geeky mapmaker, but you know you all love maps too.)

The NYC blog Gothamist ran a brief post regarding the Creative Class in NYC and an accompanying map displaying the concentration of artsy folks in the urban area.

Pretty cool! I would love to look at Savannah visually and note the concentrations of us ‘Creative Class’ in town. I will post one as soon as I can – stay tuned!

Now that it is February, I will get along to answering the question that is on everyone’s mind….What IS it like to work at our TCCi office?

Well….as a new employee…I’m inspecting! Angel and Fitz share an office that resembles a ‘Before’ photo in a Container Store advert. It’s full of amazing creative energy. There is a stack of CD’s piled up on a full bookshelf, which is next to a table full of magazines, papers, folders, and a guest chair or two. Bottles of various sizes of hot sauce line the wall opposing the bulletin board full of childrens art work and photos. Framed SCAD posters encircle the room, while a mini-bottle of tequlia sits sealed daring people to open in case of emergency. Piles and piles of our TCCi stickers tower on a desk near a phone, and a lone TCCi logo covered stool gets moved around from corner to corner. You know that a lot of creative thinking, positive energy and long hours go on inside there.

I tell you what, when an office looks like that, you respect your coworkers. If not, I could walk in for a meeting, never walk out, and nobody would ever find me…
