\"Embry<\/a><\/p>\n

The Color Orange (aka, DERBY | REYNOLDS)<\/strong><\/span> made a huge impression Friday night, Aug. 5th, in Houston, Texas. \u00a0Jeff Tethernick, head of our Accounting Department<\/a>, had been vacating with his family when a chance encounter with a foul ball at a Houston Astros game led his son, Vince, into the arms of one of the largest <\/a>Aeronautical executives still living and working in the YOU$A!<\/a><\/h2>\n

Little Vince, aged 8, gathered himself while Jeff thanked the man and offered to buy he and his group of men a round of beer. \u00a0To his surprise, they denied\u2013 claiming they had to fly in the morning. \u00a0Jeff\u2013not one for taking turn downs smoothly\u2013 playfully challenged the men, “What do you mean you have to fly in the morning? Come on, 1 drink, let me thank you.”<\/em> \u00a0One of the executives offered that they were in town for test routes, actual flying, as each one was an experienced pilot. Talking ensued and before you know it, Jeff Tethernick’s vacation turned to work!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having discovered \u00a0these men were in Houston, TX from Embry | Riddle Aeronautical University<\/strong> to scout locations for their campus this weekend<\/a>, Tethernick called D.R. H.Q.\u00a0<\/strong>late Friday night and a sales raid team was sent overnight into Houston for a late afternoon meeting on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Company founders, Thomas Derby & William Reynolds<\/strong> (despite their recent wrestling match along with company divisions waiting to be legally assessed)<\/a>, Tethernick and Jennifer Kowalski<\/a><\/strong> (Marketing Research Director, and really good looking for a fake blonde<\/em>) swooned the men on their marketing messages\u2013 but the selling point was Alyssa Sojahnowski<\/a>, our H.R. rep, brought along as the wild card-eye candy.<\/strong>\u00a0(A human sales trick Derby & Reynolds learned in the trenches of advertising from years spent in the N. Illinois region<\/a><\/strong>.) The men loved her\u2013 and so begins Ms. Sojahnowski’s future ascent to Sales and Account Executing here at DERBY | REYNOLDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are happy to welcome Embry-Riddle<\/a><\/strong> to the WAL-MART OF ADVERTISING\u2122 Family. \u00a0More news to be released soon\u2013 and congratulations to Jeff Tethernick for proving his mathmatical worth. We owe you another vacation, Jeff!<\/p>\n
