The team at Keathley has been very nice throughout all of 2009. So good, in fact, that we kind of deserve to have all of our professional dreams come true. We promise not to be naughty for all of 2010. Well, most of it.
We present the following list for your consideration.
Yours truly,
Team Keathley
Julie & Brandi – Copy D.
The best Christmas present ever would be for the copy department to be able to brainstorm cool concepts for awesome projects (viral videos, sweet applications, songs, etc.) all day long. It would also be cool to do that in a lush copy department environment outfitted with the following:
- An assistant who would provide food and drink of any kind, at any time
- Comfy, overstuffed lounge chairs
- Hammocks for recharging
- A pool table, Wii and a huge TV (foosball for Brandi too)
- New laptops & 3Gs’s
- A media library that always has the video, book or magazine for the job
- Luke Sullivan
- A dog named sprocket that talks
- A magic “Yes” button to be used once a year (for each of us) on any concept we want
- A life-sized Zen garden sand box with a golden rake
- A saltwater fish tank large enough to snorkel in
Jesse
A stocking full of filled out time sheets and a box of extended timelines.

Every interactive department shares their love for one type of present: Gadgets. Lots of them. Digital this. Electronic that. If it requires electricity we like it. An endless supply of gadgets to play with would be super-sweet.
Jackie
Consolidate my three job titles into one super-sweet mega-title.
Jenn
- The greatest best planner/buyer EVER
- Ability to attend the hottest seminars in 2010
- Auto-fill time sheets
- Enough time in the day to accommodate all the invites received by our great media partners
- The opportunity to create and execute the GREATEST media plan in the history of my career that is featured on the cover of Adweek.
- Plan and execute an event that blows everything prior out of the water.
- A big fat raise!
Sara
- Land a certain client in Chicago and I get to work in the satellite office
- A hot new all business suit
- Project Plant-a-Bulb plants itself as a raging success story
Becki
To land a client that was in charge of every fashion week event internationally and be assigned the account to coordinate. This would, of course, involve me meeting every celebrity I’ve ever wanted to meet in order to reserve them seats at the hottest upcoming shows, help cast models, and include all the outrageous free gift bags and giveaways to keep for takeaways! Last but not least, this would require me to travel to at LEAST France, Italy, Greece, England and the Caribbean for pre-event visits and research! 
Ralph
My wish is to be recognized on the cover of Time Magazine as 2010’s most Influential Person, being seen as the leading communicator, humanitarian and philanthropist, as well as the wealthiest man in America.
Time will write a 7,000-word piece on my rise to fame from Director of PR at a small advertising and PR agency in America’s gritty, blue collar Midwest to socialite and friend of all to our nation’s needy and poverty stricken.
As 2010’s Most Influential Person, I will be appointed Secretary of Humanitarian Aid to the United States, as well as liaison to foreign countries, including Rwanda, Sudan, Cambodia and many others.
In the end, many of the world’s leaders, including President Obama and several members of the U.N. will call for me to be presented the Nobel Prize as a result of my selfless work.
