Well, sort of...]]> http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2011/05/13/the-half-tamed-lion/feed/ 6 http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2011/01/24/ame%e2%80%99s-declare-zimmerman-best-in-north-america/ http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2011/01/24/ame%e2%80%99s-declare-zimmerman-best-in-north-america/#comments Mon, 24 Jan 2011 20:14:42 +0000 JZ http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/?p=1864 We knew from the very beginning that this was big. So it comes as no surprise that the rest of the world has now recognized it as well. Zimmerman has just been named as the recipient of a 2011 AME Platinum Trophy for last year’s Lane Bryant campaign.

We relentlessly pursue solutions for them, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

And sometimes they’re game changers. Those game changers are the solutions we push for the hardest. They are the ideas that should be recognized and celebrated, both on behalf of our clients and on behalf of Zimmerman as an agency. ]]> http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2011/01/11/brandweeks-no-1-story-of-2010-a-game-changer/feed/ 4 http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2010/11/05/now-thats-dedication/ http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2010/11/05/now-thats-dedication/#comments Fri, 05 Nov 2010 19:30:02 +0000 JZ http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/?p=1610 Lots of companies claim to be dedicated to their clients. But how many of them actually go above and beyond the call of duty to show it? When you step off of the elevator at Zimmerman, there’s a quote from me on a sign that says, “Relentlessly pursue the client’s goal, but never rest in the glory.” That’s more than a motto for us – it’s something we live and breathe every single day...]]> http://www.yousleepwhenyoudie.com/2010/11/05/now-thats-dedication/feed/ 4
