At the minnow PROJECT, recognition comes in many forms. Sure, everyone likes to receive an award from time to time and we all have our personal achievements. Bet you didn't know co-owner Todd Calfee was recognized as the #4 BMX rider in the country at only age 11. And let's not forget when Account Manager, Megan Legband, lead the minnows to a first place victory at the Advertising Federation of Lincoln's Halloween bowling tournament. She was dressed as Scooby Doo and supported by her fellow minnows outfitted as the rest of "Mystery, Inc." We represent these awards with great pride, but the most worthwhile recognition comes from our clients. Over the years, we have literally received "I love you" emails from our clientele. We love that feeling! Read some of the "ata boy" responses we have received. "Bob, our Ad Agency is the key behind our quick turn-around and low costs. They have changed their name to the minnow PROJECT (formerly known as Graphics Plus). Great guys!! Just the kind of agency you need...no BS...just creative! Low hourly rate and they cut out the bureaucracy! They are in Lincoln. You know we went through at least four to five "big-time" agencies before I found these guys (actually, they found me). Bob, I couldn't have made the kind of progress we did this past year without them. They are quick and efficient!! I can't say enough." Marketing Director MBA Poultry Waverly, NE "I can't tell you how incredible we think the material is. It's awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Executive Director Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Omaha, NE "Thanks for the update. I was just going to call you about a status check! Love that you're a step ahead of me!!" Promotions and Merchandising Manager Pure Fishing of America Spirit Lake, IA"I am patting myself on the back for choosing the minnow PROJECT over a couple of your competitors over two years ago. If you want us, you have a long-time customer." Vice President Lambriar, Inc. Mahaska, KS"Just wanted to let you guys know that the CCS symposium went very well yesterday, we had a delegate attendance of 71, which was slightly above our attendance goal for the event. I've received many comments that the materials looked great. And overall that the CCS team was very impressed with the overall event. Thanks for your help and quick turnaround on all of the last minute materials that surrounded this, you have been great about making sure we meet these tight timelines. This was the first symposium for the LSD groups and based on the success of this one, I'm sure there will be more to come!" Global Marketing Director MDS Pharma Services Lincoln, NE "If nobody's told you this yet today, let me be the first: You th' Man!" Marketing Manager, Interactive Marketing and Licensing Pure Fishing of America Azle, TX"I just love the advertising you all do for Encore! Keep up the good work! You guys are doing a great job! Keep sellin' those Encores for me!" Owner, Commercial Turf Equipment Encore Power Equipment Distributor New Port Richey, FL "You guys SPOIL me and I love you for it!" PR Manager Renaissance Glendale Hotel & Spa Glendale, AZ"Just wanted to let you know I had a great time working with you and your staff yesterday in Omaha. Everything went smoothly and I think we have some really good stuff we can use for the website. Also, thank you for lunch and for giving me a ride back to Lincoln. I have really enjoyed working with your staff. They have excellent ideas and always seem to know exactly what we’re looking for. At this point I don't believe I would be willing to work with any other firm in Lincoln other than the minnows. Thanks for everything."
