		<description><![CDATA[<h2>Slush Puppie Canada, a pioneer in the world of frozen treats, celebrates its 35th birthday in style with the <a href="http://www.slushtv.ca"><em>launch of a brand new, ultra dynamic, website</em></a>.</h2>
<a href="http://www.slushtv.ca/"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2482" title="slush_puppie" src="http://www.olablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/slush_puppie.png" alt="" width="650" height="347" /></a>
<h2>Obviously, the <strong>OLA</strong> gang is stoked! This great collaboration with our friends at <a href="http://www.kaboom.ca/"><strong>Kaboom</strong></a> agency is another success! While respecting the delish company's joyful summery personality, we gladly took the opportunity to design a particularly colorful site, honoring the tantalizing flavors available this summer. YUMMERS! In addition, there are contests and games, a picture gallery, the Slush TV and the famous Slush Puppie Tour... interesting stuff for everyone!</h2>
<h2>We're warning you, this site is so hot, it would make a camel thirsty!</h2>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<h2>Normally, hyper people give me headaches. But I have to say that right now would be the perfect moment to get overly excited. So shout, dance, get undressed and go crazeh for <a href="http://www.outaouaistwist.com/"><strong>Outaouais Twist</strong></a> has arrived! (I know, I know, you have no clue what Twist is but you'd rather have <strong>Ottawa Twist</strong>... It's coming, friends. We'll be working on it this summer. Promise.)</h2>

<a href="http://www.outaouaistwist.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2476" title="twist_outaouais" src="http://www.olablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/twist_outaouais.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="383" /></a>

<h2>Anywhoo, "What the heck are ya talking about?!" you innocently ask. Well, <strong>OLA</strong> is proud (level of pride previously unmatched) to present the awesomest regional web directory.</h2>

<h2>Shopping, restaurants, arts, sports and leisure... everything you'll ever need in the Outaouais is finally joined together in a cool, simple and easy to use website. And there's more! You'll find a great amount of relevant info concerning the region and little extras such as local celebrities, regional slang and so on. The beauty in this is that <strong>Twist</strong> will not be drowned in advertising, unlike other directories which we will not mention their names. Is it possible to advertise on Twist? Absolutely. It's kind of the point. However, we like to do things differently, always.</h2>

<h2>For now, <strong>Outaouais Twist</strong> is a beta version. <strong>OLA</strong>'s goal is to lauch the official site on July 1st 2010. Have a look around. You can already <a href="http://www.outaouaistwist.com/inscription-outaouais-twist/"><strong>add your company</strong></a> to this rising directory.</h2>

<h2>So? Don't tell me you're still fully dressed after all this excitement?! Come on, baby! Let's do the twist!</h2>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<h2>It's with style and elegance (listen, you've got class or you don't) that <strong>OLA</strong> presents <a href="http://www.chateaucartier.com/en"><strong>Château Cartier'</strong></a>s all new and revamped website. The majestic hotel and conference center, a natural choice in Gatineau, offers one of the finest golf courses in Canada. We knew for sure that this mandate was a biggie.</h2>
<img src="http://www.olablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/picture-34.jpg" alt="" title="Hotel Gatineau Château Cartier" width="650" height="388" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2468" />

<h2>The principal element OLA wanted to improve for the site was the ease and simplicity of booking a room. A major point when it comes to a hotel. Now, you can't miss the big blue booking window even if you try! It appears on every single pages.</h2>
<h2>The sleek and modern design is also more in parallel with this great business's philosophy.</h2>
<h2>The only thing left for us to do is to change our dirty flip-flops for a pair of soft cleats.</h2>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<h2>What's a dream job? Don't bother overthinking this one; I have the answer for you. A dream job is a studio that decides to replace its water cooler by a slush machine. That's all.</h2>
Thanks to our friends at <strong><a href="http://www.kaboom.ca" target="_blank">Kaboom</a></strong> agency, <strong>OLA</strong> did exactly that. And from this collaboration with Kaboom, we also gained the incredible opportunity to work on <strong>Slush Puppie'</strong>s new website. Now, that's some project!

Sugar overdose with a touch of diabetes in a somewhat hyper atmosphere, everything in the studio is smooth sailing. It's not even noon yet and Charles is already sipping on his 8th slush today. Yep, everything is A-Okay. Pineapple and mango, anyone?

		<description><![CDATA[<h2>Here at <strong>OLA</strong>, we are good folks. We like to give opportunities to some who would probably be ridiculed or looked down upon in society. We... you know... "believe" in them.</h2>
<h2>Our special buddy is <strong><a href="http://twitter.com/cstyves" target="_blank">Charles</a></strong>. He's under the impression that he works here as a web integrator. Now, how cute is that? In reality, we keep him around because he makes us laugh and makes funny drawings (doodles, really) all day long.</h2>
<h2>This is how Charles sees us, the Dream Team, in his weird little mind. Sweet, sweet guy. Should we still be nice?</h2>

		<description><![CDATA[<h2>Yesterday was <strong>OLA's </strong>birthday. We didn't mention it because... well, you know... didn't want to bother anyone with that... and... we were kind of hoping that... huh... you would... you would remember. BUT YOU DID NOT. Indeed, our interactive studio turned the big 1-0! A decade of inspiration. A decade of laughs. A decade of friendships. A decade of passion. A decade of evolution.</h2>
<h2>Time sure flies when you're having a blast. We'd like to thank all of you for being part of this unique journey. Let's just pretend we received your warm wishes and move on. No hard feelings.</h2>
<h2>But seriously, thanks a million. Your support is amazing. OLA is truly looking forward to the next 10 years.</h2>

<h2>For <strong>OLA</strong>, this website was a true delight to create. But let's be honest, at first, we were a little nervous. Would we be a good match? Would the <em>Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany Ottawa</em> trust us bunch of clowns? Talented clowns, but still clowns. Well, the answer is yes and we will be forever grateful.</h2>]]></description>

<h2>Oops, we did it again! Not to brag (...right) but we seem to be on a roll, lately.</h2>

<h2><strong><a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/01/22/35-beautiful-and-effective-ecommerce-websites/">Smashing Magazine</a></strong> is one of the world's top blogs and is entirely devoted to software applications and web-based tools. The honor we feel to be mentioned on their site is too great for words... but let me try this: HOLY S**T!!!</h2>

<h2>This time, thanks to the work we did for Atom Bicycles, we ranked among 35 beautiful e-commerce websites. They described our effort as:
A very simple, clean and stylish design with unusual navigation and good-looking product pages.</h2>
<h2>We absolutely agree. But to hear it from them is a major pat on the back.</h2>

<h2>We hope your Monday is as good as ours.</h2>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<h2>Well, as you've probably heard by now, <strong>OLA</strong> is the greatest thing since white whole wheat sliced bread. But you're a skeptic, we accept that, and you still need some convincing. Ok then. Go ahead and guess who just got rated number 7 as world's most creative agency by the <a href="http://www.creativeagencyawards.com/"><strong>Creative Agency Awards 09</strong></a>? Need a hint? You're reading their blog at this exact moment. How coincidental?</h2>
<h2>Number 7 in the world (aka the universe). "OMFG!" you scream. I know! We said the same thing.</h2>
<h2>The ranking is based on creative prestige both in the web and and print design. It's such an honor for us to be recognized among people we admire a great deal and draw inspiration from. This truly means a whole lot.</h2>
<h2>The amazing book should hit the stores soon.</h2>

Well lunch time at <strong>OLA</strong> is exactly like that... minus the cool peeps.</h2>
