Here’s the results of the latest in-house production from Coates Kokes for Metro’s Recycling Hotline. Spring cleaning time! If you live in the area, have stuff you want to recycle but aren’t sure where, how or if it is even recyclable, call the number.
Great job to everyone including Jay who had to drive to every corner of our fine city, in a U-Haul, collecting junk to fill that garage. Spot airs on Comcast, but not next to Hoarders (as perfect as that would be).

This week’s bowling in Ad League was quite an exciting one! Our final game of the night ended in a combined team score of 1100, and Heather bowled a new lifetime high of 200.

The agency’s back from holiday and this contributor thought "late" was better than "never" in the case of posting THE OFFICIAL COATES KOKES UGLY SWEATER CONTEST RESULTS.

Congratulations, sir. Well played.
