 For some people, it might have been a stretch to go from working on a dairy farm to being the sole design source for Goodwill-Easter Seals Miami Valley, but for Keith Lambert, it was a much more pleasant form of shoveling the proverbial poo. Don’t let the drawl fool you, this gaucho knows his way around design software as well as he can navigate equines.
Keith first saddled up with DCS as the visual communications coordinator, helping the group keep a visual record of all the creative action going down in the 937. But his passion for collaboration encouraged him to holster his Canon and take the reins leading Dayton’s creative forces to greatness.
This school of advertising art grad has roped in his fair share of clients, including National City, Commonwealth Banking, Solganik Food Group and Masquerage through Kikiz Advertising Agency. He also wrangled design work for Cargill and Cox Auto Trader before saddling up with Goodwill Easter Seals Miami Valley where he’s the lone gun of his department, doing video, print, web, photos signage--just about everything bearing the Goodwill or Easter Seals visage. A relative newcomer to the Dayton Creative Syndicate, Keith showcases his savvy and unique skills through his position as visual media coordinator. Check out his work on the DCS Flickr page.
From branding cattle to branded design, Keith has much experience under his belt--adorned with a huge DCS buckle, of course. If you’re interested in pushing your creative career further, contact Keith about joining a DCS committee, or taking a position on the executive board. |

Please come out and join Dayton Creative Syndicate as we welcome our May guest speaker:
Jack Supple of Pocket Hercules.
When: Wednesday, May 4th, 2011, 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. Where: Brixx Ice Co. Cost: There is no cost to attend this speaker event.
Pocket Hercules is an independent, full-service hybrid ad agency in Minneapolis. With equal parts advertising, public relations, digital, design and product development, they’re set up to be a lean, nimble branding powerhouse. They pride ourselves in creating innovative, tailor-made solutions to complex marketing problems that directly produce brand momentum and sales. As a small advertising agency and PR firm, their working model is simple, transparent and highly efficient: top-level talent works directly with clients which forges deeper partnerships, more potent work and the ability to respond immediately to opportunities in today’s ever-changing marketing landscape.
Prior to being named chairman and chief creative officer of Carmichael Lynch in 2000, Jack Supple held the positions of president, executive creative director and senior writer since joining the agency in 1979. During his 27 year tenure, CL emerged as one of the nation's top creative agencies.
No matter how large the brand, Jack helped CL to find the soul of that brand and to become a client's trusted "keeper of the flame" with work that was smart and elegantly simple. Under Jack's leadership, the agency grew and expanded its account list to include Harley-Davidson, Porsche, Northwest Airlines, Gibson Guitars, Rapala, A.G. Edwards, American Standard and Coca-Cola. As chief creative officer, Jack helped CL expand its long-standing creative reputation into award winning PR, interactive, relationship marketing and design disciplines.
Jack left Carmichael Lynch in July 2006, finding the role of chairman of the 300-person agency to be too distant from the work. In January 2007, he began working with some former employees at Pocket Hercules, helping to create a pool of senior talent who could offer hands-on work to national accounts.

I had the opportunity to attend Jim Crotty’s half-day advanced photography workshop at Cox Arboretum MetroPark where he discussed high dynamic range (HDR) photography as well as shared tips on marketing a nature photography business. The workshop was a great learning experience for me. I have wanted to explore HDR photography for a while now. Jim gave an on-the-field demonstration (both outdoors and indoors) of shooting in HDR. He then proceeded to give live demonstrations of the digital processing of HDR images using multiple software. There was plenty of opportunity to ask questions during the workshop. The section on marketing a photography business was very helpful as Jim shared various tips as well as pitfalls of different strategies and effectively deploying available resources to establish a successful nature photography business. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who has an interest in HDR and/or nature photography or wants to establish his/her photography business.
