Run benefits Community Storehouse

Runners laced up and hit the road for Run in the Dark, a Keller event benefiting Community Storehouse.

A 1-mile fun run began at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18, at Keller Town Hall, with a 5K run not far behind at 7:45 p.m.

As in previous years, this year's 11th annual event benefited Community Storehouse, a nonprofit organization established in 1982 to provide children living in Northwest and Keller school districts with basic needs.

Those include food, medical care, clothing and educational supplies. This year's presenting sponsor was W.W. Grainger Inc., a supplier of maintenance, repair and operating products.

Gold sponsors were Image Plus Printing, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and The Keller Citizen newspapers.

Bronze sponsors were Prosperity Bank, XTO Energy, TXU Energy and Glint Advertising.

Community Storehouse helps over 200 families with children each month, according to its website. More information can be found at www.communitystorehouse.org.

Glint Advertising is proud to have supported "Run In The Dark" and "Community Storehouse" for the past 3 years. Celebrating an 11 year milestone is a testament to a great organization that supports a need that continues to grow.

GLINT ADVERTISING APPOINTS NEW INTERACTIVE DIRECTOR

Cormier To Handle Agency’s Interactive Duties

HURST (Sept. 20) — Glint Advertising, an advertising and marketing agency located minutes outside of Downtown Fort Worth, announced today that Ryan Cormier has been appointed Interactive Director for the agency, according to President Craig Lloyd.

The former Account Executive and Social Media Specialist will oversee all of Glint’s interactive projects, ranging from website design and development to search engine optimization, paid search campaigns and social media strategy and implementation.

“I could not be more thrilled to take on this new position,” said Cormier. “I am committed to formulating online strategies that complement and strengthen our traditional work, while also adding additional measurability for each client and their brand.”

This is the second major move that Glint has made this year in the online realm, which is estimated to account for $23.6 billion in marketing spending in 2010, according to Advertising Age (www.adage.com). In January, Glint announced its acquisition of a boutique web design firm out of Grapevine.

“You have to be nimble in the advertising industry,” said Patty Marshall, Vice President. “Having Ryan over our interactive department is a major value add to our clients, and further strengthens our services as an agency.”
