Our Blog
Our goal in posting our blogs is three fold: To introduce timely industry news that is relevant to our clients; to post items we find interesting and entertaining, and finally, to give you a glimpse of TSW US “Behind the Curtain”. We take the business aspects of what we are doing very seriously, but we like to have fun, hopefully that shines through here.
Our Blog is a puzzle being assembled. Sometimes the individual pieces of the puzzle don’t look like the whole picture once completed – You have to keep adding pieces one at a time to make the image clear. We hope you keep coming back to see how the TSW US puzzle takes shape.
Autumnal Equinox Fall Leaves
Today is the Autumnal equinox. The equinox occurs the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator from north to south.
In honor of the Autumnal equinox we thought we would highlight a piece of seasonal artwork that we recently purchased. This rust and orange clearing in the trees is by Shelly Leithesiser. We think it captures the feel of Autumn perfectly filled with vibrant color, and still clinging to the warmth and light of summer.

Wit & Wisdom Wednesday - Franklin on Diligence
It is Wit & Wisdom Wednesday at Elarbee Media and we can always count on Ben Franklin for a dose of truth. In business, sitting back and waiting doesn't make the phones ring or the money roll in. Small steps toward your long term goals create steady progress.
Art Tuesday Urbnpop Wood Burning
It is Art Tuesday at Elarbee Media and today we are excited to show you our newest addition from URBNPOP. This adorable horned and helmeted monster is a magnet. We haven't seen wood burning outside of the rustic country arena in so many years we were surprised when we encountered it here.
The combination of the wood burning with the monster subject matter strikes us as just wrong enough to be perfectly right!
Often the "off-kilter" is striking, and memorable. You don't have to scream to be heard. Sometimes you just have to whisper and be a little cheeky.
Cheers URBNPOP! Thanks for the gift. Urbnpop.com
Throwback Thursday Converse Shoes
It is throwback Thursday at Elarbee Media, and today we are going to pick on one of our favorite classic brands, Converse.
We love the ad copy headline, we love the heavy image, light copy layout. We think the ad overall is funny.
But what is up with the black socks with bright blue shoes? And the white shoes with dark plaid pants? Odd that it is so close to great, and yet fails.
Sandy Springs Fire Department
An exciting visit form the Sandy Springs Fire Department today! Thank you all for your service, and the photo op!
Wit & Wisdom Wednesday - Edison on Execution
"Vision without execution is hallucination." Thomas Edison
It is Wit & Wisdom Wednesday at Elarbee Media, and we love this quote from Thomas Edison. Ideas are great, but when not put into practice they are worthless.
Tombstones for Media
In our segment Tombstones for Media we highlight programs that have gone off the market. Here are two young family targeted catalog blow-in programs that are no longer available: Sensational Beginnings Catalog Inserts, and Lilly's Kids Catalog Inserts. Elarbee Media recommends replacing these programs with CP Toys Blow-in.
Have a Happy and Safe Labor Day
Elarbee Media wishes you a happy and safe Labor Day Weekend!
Throwback Thursday Labor Day Picnic Coke
It is Throwback Thursday at Elarbee Media and we are getting ready for the Labor Day weekend. We thought we would highlight a great American tradition - the Labor Day Picnic.
In this 1966 print ad from Coca-Cola,the picnic is compacted into the 6 pack carrier for the bottles. Clever.
The Americana, the picnic vibe and the product itself are all captured without a lifestyle scene. Simple and ahead of its time, this ad works for us.
