Sponsor Spotlight: Capstrat

Posted by Tim Arthur in News, Sponsors

Capstrat’s been fortunate enough to have speakers on stage the past few years for Ignite in Raleigh and Durham. This year we’ve stepped up our presence by supporting the event through a direct sponsorship and by providing design and print services for those cool posters you may have seen around town this year. And we’ll still be represented on stage. Adam Cohen, one of our talented creative directors, will be elucidating you on the trials and tribulations of dealing with teenagers.

Why did we decide to get even deeper into Ignite this year?

Because Capstrat is proud of the community of bright and creative individuals here in the Triangle.  And we wanted to play a role in the perfect event that crams as much of that talent as possible into one frenzied evening of disparate topics delivered in whiplash fashion.  Plus, we really like making posters.

From public relations, digital, social media, multi-media, advertising and public affairs consulting; Capstrat prides itself in being a communications company that helps businesses and organizations in moments of critical need. Much like the critical need to remember that first line when your five minutes starts up on the stage.

Check out the incredible poster Capstrat designed for Ignite Raleigh 3 below!

Meet Those Meddling Kids

Posted by Lisa in Ignite Raleigh 3, News

Stick around after Ignite Raleigh 3 for the sounds of Greenville, North Carolina-based Those Meddling Kids.

Jack (Vocals, Piano & Lead Guitar), Eric (Vocals & Guitar) Todd (Bass, Upright Bass, and Vocals), and Johnathan (Banjo & Vocals), have a sound like none other. They call it “ acoustic jamgrass”. Consider it an eclectic mix of bluegrass, rock, and jam band. They’re a local favorite in Greenville where they take up residence each Sunday evening from 6-9pm at AJ McMurphys.

You can find them on their official MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/tmkrocks as well as at Reverbnation where you can listen to some of their tracks too – http://www.reverbnation.com/thosemeddlingkids.

Be sure and give them a shout out on Twitter too – @meddlingkids

Here’s one of their performances from 2008. It’s an oldie but goodie with over 15,000 views. Any Men At Work fans out there? Maybe they’ll take a request or two from the audience.
