Austin Ad Agency Lands Pizza Hut Account

From this Statesman article.

Austin ad agency GSD&M has landed a major new account.
The firm learned Tuesday that it had won Pizza Hut’s business when members of the pizza chain’s marketing team showed up at GSD&M headquarters on West Sixth Street on a bus loaded with champagne and, of course, pizza.

Pizza Hut spent $227 million on its marketing and advertising efforts last year, according to AdWeek.

Economic Indicator Links


These sites are where you need to go to find the unemployment rate, consumer price index (CPI), number of housing starts, what people are spending, retail sales, and so on.

Well, you can get deeper. Read the agency name below to get an idea of what to expect there (labor statistics have such data as income, employment, etc...)

Bureau of Economic Analysis
Bureau of Labor Statistics
National Bureau of Economic Research's Economic Indicators (Awesome)
U.S. Census Bureau Economic Indicators (Also Awesome)
Fed Data on Money Flow and Supply 

You can also use our handy database Economagic. But the above links will work just fine for most projects.
