Busy, Busy, Busy

We’ve been busy, busy, busy over here at Go Media. Our new Sales Manager, Jenny and Go Media Founder, Bill will be heading up a booth (#33) at the COSE Small Business Convention at Kalahari this Thursday and Friday, and they will be handing out popcorn in the colorful bags you see up top. So stop by and say “hi” and walk away eating some tasty Campbell’s Popcorn!

Mockup Everything has been moving full speed ahead so keep a lookout for 5 new “outdoor” templates to be added at the end of the month. The Arsenal has a special deal all week long: Snag the Halloween Bundle for only $9.99. That’s 228 vectors for under $10! The following vector packs are included to help you create some spooktacular designs:
