The Art of Post-it® War

War has erupted in France…a Post-it® war that is. Its origins can be traced back to Ubisoft’s office and a bank across the street (BNP) in Montreuil. Ubisoft began by creating a few characters from the classic game Space Invaders and BNP quickly retaliated with an image of the laser canon from the same game.

A Little Retraction for a Big Talent

With so much information available on the web, it’s hard to distinguish between fact and fiction. And as avid internet users, we’re typically weary of blogs and individual sites as valid sources of information but when it comes to major publications we—for the most part—tend to believe what we read. The following is our own retraction/correction and an example of why we should not always believe everything we read.

Recently our in-house start up, Crowdbeacon was written about in Entrepreneur Magazine.

Even though it is an honor for our agency and the product, it was unfortunately inaccurate in naming the mobile application’s creators. Crowdbeacon was actually the brainchild of start-up expert, Robert Boyle, Anthony Del Monte and a skilled Sardinian developer named, Luca Columbu. Scott Wells was misquoted as the co-creator because he was the one who conducted the phone interview. Scott is one of our lead strategists and was important in launching Crowdbeacon’s social media and marketing efforts.

For the most part, the other details of the article are true but in publishing this correction, we wanted to highlight Luca for all his hard work and dedication in developing Crowdbeacon. They may have neglected to mention you Luca, but we know how hard you worked; all the hours you put in and we are glad to have an intelligent developer such as yourself on the Squeaky team.

Grande Opera!
