The calm after the Italian storm.

May 1st, 2011 |  Karen Laukkonen

The whirlwind of launching a nearly 100-page web site for an Italian vacaction property company is over, and I am pleased to say the client is thrilled and we've all caught up on our sleep. The deadline was written in stone — Ancora Italia had an ad published in Delta Sky Magazine on May 1st (distribution: 4.7 million readers every month!) and we made it with time to spare.

What a great experience. This project had an extra level of pressure — it was for my long-time friend Doris Fortino, my former boss at Fortino/Moriarity Advertising. She gave me a chance when I ws 25 and unemployed after  two months of backpacking through Europe. Doris and Suzanne Moriarity set me on my way in a career that I love, teaching me lots along the way. Hoping to see her 'across the pond' soon.

Go book your Tuscany dream vacation now — Much arrivederci, K.
