*A Unique Shout-Out to Dad on Father&#8217;s Day*

Acknowledge your dad in a brand new way! Let him know how much you appreciate him with a large, heart-shaped Father&#8217;s Day magnet from RideMagnetism&#8482;. 

Edmonds-based RideMagnetism&#8482; and Jody Marx from Point North Design have created large, magnetic hearts for Father&#8217;s Day. Send the magnet to your dad for the fridge; put it on the passenger side of your car when you pick him up for brunch, or surprise your dad by putting it on his own car!

Kara Ceriello, Head Cheese at Not A Number in Seattle says, &#8220;We love to support local artists and their unique work. RideMagnetism&#8482; has set a new standard for design and production of Outdoor Magnets with this heart-shaped collection for Father&#8217;s Day and other special occasions.&#8221;

Jody Marx, creative to RideMagnetism&#8482; and principal of Point North Design, a premium design agency based in Seattle, designed the heart collection. Marx also created the designs for the popular Inaugural Magnets and Commemorative Buttons sold in Washington D.C. stores.

RideMagnetism&#8482; all started with the idea of outdoor flexible car magnets and the desire to make a difference.  Meg McDonald, President, and Patty Andrews, Creative Director, wanted to give mission-based organizations a way to call out their message and issues that needed attention. In May 2008, McDonald (with a nonprofit background) and Andrews, two veterans from the graphic arts industry, started an Edmonds-based enterprise called McAndrews Productions LLC and spun off RideMagnetism&#8482;, which creates work for cars to help &#8220;Drive your message home&#8482;.&quot;

McDonald and Andrews have been working tirelessly &#8220;in creating dynamic visuals to go with what people want to express,&#8221; describes Andrews.  People want to express their passion. Through RideMagnetism&#8482;, people now have the ability to make a personal statement attractive and dynamic.

McDonald describes their products as a &#8220;huge, new, untapped medium &#8211; so inviting that when people see our magnets or window clings on cars, a favorable impression is generated and something positive often happens as a result.  It&#8217;s an authentic expression of one&#8217;s beliefs that can mean something to others.&#8221;

Many vehicles can reach over 50,000 people in a week, according to McDonald.  &#8220;Our research reveals that a simple, visually-appealing message is more memorable than a traditional advertisement, and also more economical,&#8221; claims McDonald.  &#8220;Research shows our car magnets and window clings broaden messages by reaching more populations and areas that can&#8217;t be reached by other media. Let&#8217;s create communities of like-minded people and encourage others to think openly.&#8221;

Authentic RideMagnetism&#8482; products have the RideMagnetism.com brand name, and are made with 50% recycled material. See RideMagnetism.com for a complete line of magnets, window clings and buttons. There is no minimum order, volume orders are discounted, and all are delivered or mailed directly to the buyer for free. The Father&#8217;s Day heart is $12.95. More information, purchases and requests for custom pieces are handled at www.RideMagnetism.com or 206.390.7024 or meg@ridemagnetism.com.

*Obama Memorabilia by Edmonds Start-Up Ships to the Inauguration in Washington D.C.*

Edmonds-based RideMagnetism&#8482; and Jody Marx from Point North are selling their Obama commemorative memorabilia in stores in Washington, D.C. for the Inauguration.  Local interest is strong with many regional parties also celebrating the Obama inauguration. 

&#8220;It&#8217;s good progress for us,&#8221; says Meg McDonald, president of RideMagnetism. &#8220;We started with the Democratic National Convention and are ending with the Obama Inauguration.&#8221; The Denver Post, in reviewing the merchandise at the DNC, noted that, &#8220;Finally.  A nonpermanent way to declare your political allegiances from RideMagnetism.com.&#8221;

&#8220;Talk about an auspicious event,&#8221; says McDonald, &#8220;Meeting up with Lori Watzman at the DNC gave us the chance to take our products to Washington, D.C. Lori Watzman, owner of ObamaRama Productions (obamadecks2008@yahoo.com) and regional distributor for RideMagnetism, comments that, &#8220;People on the street can tell the difference right away when they see our products.  They stop and look.  Many comment on how striking the merchandise appears.&#8221; Lori says it makes her job much easier when she distributes the U.S.-made-RideMagnetism merchandise because the designs and production values are the highest in the industry.

Jody Marx, creative to RideMagnetism and principal of Point North, a premium boutique design agency based in Seattle, created the designs that are so popular for the inaugural magnets and commemorative buttons. The creative work of Patty Andrews, Pat Hansen, Jaime Clay and Liz Johannesen are present in other pieces of the Obama campaign memorabilia for sale. 

It all started with outdoor flexible car magnets and the desire to make a difference. McDonald and Patty Andrews, creative director, wanted to give mission-based organizations a way to call attention to the importance of their message or issues that needed attention. In May 2008, McDonald and Andrews, two veterans from the graphic arts industry (McDonald with a nonprofit background), started an Edmonds-based enterprise called McAndrews Productions and spun off RideMagnetism, which creates work for cars to help &#8220;Drive your message home.&#8221; 

As the presidential election became heated, it occurred to the business partners that candidates needed great design and high production value in unique promotional products to get the word out and stand out from the crowd. McDonald discovered that no one was using the &#8220;power of attraction&#8221; that magnets have. Further research revealed that many people did not want stickers on their cars and liked the adaptability of magnets and window clings.
