so the phone calls worked

I am currently taking a break from blogging to work on a tv commercial for Breyers Ice Cream with Jane Krakowski, the actress  who was so funny on Ally McBeal, and now is on 30 Rock.

Somehow, the phone calls worked, although this particular job was not due to my contacting anyone. The designer called me out of the blue - possibly from a recommendation from his usual decorator who was busy, I assume. So thank you freelance Gods.

Also, I got 2 phone calls last friday. One from one of the companies I had contacted during my "dialing for dollars" day.  I noticed a lot more activity around. People in the prophouses, running into other decorators - Hearing that other people are working.

So commercial production is happening...people are making commercials. Products need to be sold and promoted. 

According to the New York Times advertising correspondent, Stuart Elliot,  advertisers are now interested in "older people" as opposed to the coveted 18-34 year old market. Hey, the older people have some money to spend, and the baby boomers are aging. So bring on the pharmaceutical ads...

And so I am working again... No blogging this week. It is time to work.
