Chong+Koster

October 30th, 2009 (Visited 2858 times) Tags: marketing, politics

This is a shoutout to my younger brother Josh (who has featured on the blog here before) — his firm Chong+Koster, which does political new media services, has just announced a partnership with TSE Consulting, which is a company that deals with what can only be called the politics of sports. They’ll be doing their “nanotargeting messaging” thing for sport-related campaigns.

It is fascinating to me to see the sorts of convergence that are happening; here, it’s new media marketing crashing into Olympic bids with the tools honed during the last election cycle. The world is changing fast!

Wow. They really do grow up.
For some reason he was one of the masses of players who decided it’d be fun to try to antagonize the Skara Brae Rangers guild on LS just over 10 years ago.
Here’s a little trip down memory lane compliments of the google archive:
Corwin once wrote[quote]Some may remember Cody Alphonzo as an SBR recruit at one time. He then
dissapeared for about a month. When he arose again he killed Puck’s
miner, and was kicked. Later we discovered that Cody was The Black
Ninja, and when I refused to trust TBN because of what Cody did he
started rattling off a ton of excuses. First it was that his account
was banned, and then it was all part of a plan, and …. etc. And then
it became clear that TBN was Raph’s lil brother Josh.
Well here’s what he said in his attempt to join the KDoLS murderer
group. Keep in mind Josh once threatened to kill all SBR. So I’m
thinking there is some truth here … but who knows, he has problems
keeping his story straight.
This was posted by The Black Ninja on the KDoLS board:
“I also know a few outhers…lets try knives(we only dueled a few times
and hung out once or twice, but he can vouch).
IAmDeath, I beleve he is Robin Hood, and I know he is Gandalf the
Grey, his account is shared by 2 brothers, and only one of them knows
me. He used to know me as Cody Alphonzo. Last time we hung out I was
in SBR trying to get a high rank so I could make it hurt more when i
betrayed them, but i went insane after a few days and killed Puck’s
Miner, and a few outher SBR’s.
You also have allittle experence with me, I am Spooky, I got killed a
few times by your red while mining up there, I got ressed and once
talked to you and asked if I could make a char to join you, but I got
a temp ban then went on vacation and forgot about it until now. I also
know Superdave DSS is he is cool with you. Is there anychance of PKing
with you?” [/quote]
