What Did That Groundhog Say Anyway?
I am not sure if Forty Weeks has ever been in motion quite as much we were in January. It was an energizing start to the New Year. And so far, February is showing no signs of letting up. And this is not a complaint, rather an observation. Our time with clients both new (it has been an exciting month for new business development – more to come on this) and old (many of our stable has hit new, exciting landmarks – Amy Abreu with the launch of Oopa Baby Cashmere and her preparations for ENK March in NYC and Bravado! Designs strategic product development and plans to launch an array of new items in 2007 and beyond) has been powerful and positive. We have been given incredible latitude and license in terms of developing customized, comprehensive and frankly ground-breaking programs within the category. And what feels most exciting is the new array of opportunities at our door from both within and outside of the space.
February saw me in NYC, DC, Toronto (iced in, natch!) and LA. What luck - some of my favorite places with some of my most beloved clients, friends and associates (yes Bob, I now know the difference). And (OK, I have been really on a bit of a whining roll with this one) – I pretty much have been eating my way through these fabulous cities. For those of you who have had the privilege of hearing my endless praise of Chowhound (there is no better source for finding your way to exactly what you crave) coupled with my “do you think it looks like I have been eating non-stop since October?” mantra — – well, sorry for the broken record (my kids, by the way, don’t “get” what this means – and that is so scary in and of itself).
Finally, a major thank you to Danielle at CBB for posting about the Graco celebrity signed stroller to benefit EGPAF auction! This is the final phase of our labor of love and how fantastic to see this in February’s In Style as well as on the sites that make it happen like CBB!
