In honor of our popular advertising industry blog, AgencySpy, mediabistro.com had a fun get-together at Chelsea Brewery on September 30. We raffled off $3,000 worth of retail value advertising space on our Web site, and two tickets to our Personal Branding Redefined panel on October 7. Matt Van Hoven, our AgencySpy blogger, hosted the party and GirlSmiles.org paid for our first 100 drinks! Needless to say, everyone had a blast.
