Campfire Creative Director Lands On Mars!
Although they were hugging happily in Pasadena and Phoenix, there was sadness at Campfire on Friday, as Andrew Kessler, one of our key creative directors and the co-show runner on the long running MyHome2.0 campaign for Verizon, left to write a book about the Mars Phoenix Lander program.
Some may say discovering whether there was life on Mars is more important than the social media and marketing programs at Campfire — but you would not have found much support for this position at Andrew’s many going away parties this past week.
You can find a sweet remembrance of Andrew’s tenure at MyHome2.0 here, and, oh, here’s one of the first images sent back from Mars today:
I dunno, given the choice, I’d take a screening of Mars Attacks in the basement drive-in theater at the Zaharko’s any day of the week. But we’ll miss Andrew a whole lot, he’s an amazingly creative and soulful guy, and one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met. We’re hoping he’ll share some of his experiences here with us from time to time as he explores his own life — as well as on Mars.

a-mazing. Given the success of the landing, and the apparent quality/abundance of footage and data . .and then the drama of the afternoon glitches and failures, it looks like its going to be one heavenly story to tell!
Now, can you guys please convince the folks at NASA.org or at the University of Arizona to twitter or blog about it?!
Congrats Andrew!

Andrew left us with so much more than memories of home makeovers. He left us with Pictures of Bacon for Karen (www.picturesofbaconforkaren.com).

Pictures of Bacon for Karen is really the gift that keeps on giving. You should present it to your wife on your wedding day Jeremiah. I think she’ll enjoy it.

Klaus, you should be following @MarsPhoenix on Twitter if you’ve not found it yet.
