Advertising, ad campaigns, ad agencies, and the people that make it happen

I was wondering what had happened to Amanda Congdon, the co-founder and former host of the comedy video blog Rocketboom.com, since she quit the show a few months ago. Well, apparently she is developing a comedy program for HBO. Details of the project are still being hammered out, but Congdon said she's aiming for a multiplatform property that will be integrated with original video content online. She intends to write and star in the series. "HBO is exactly the place where I want to be," Congdon said. "I'm most interested in playing in that new dimension with two parallel levels of programming, online and on TV." I wish her luck, even though RocketBoom seems to be doing OK without her, I think she made the show. It’ll be interesting to see what she comes up with.

If you're wondering what's in the box. Check out HBO in a couple of months or so.
