Oil Patch Bits: Ballas, Cameron join Solstice Advertising team

Solstice Advertising, an Anchorage-based full-service advertising agency, said Nov. 11 that during a recent expansion it has named Teeka Ballas as staff copywriter and Walter Cameron its new Web developer technician.

Prior to joining Solstice, Ballas spent 10 years freelance writing and reporting for a variety of industries and outlets around the world. Her most recent undertaking has been as co-founder and content editor of F Magazine, an Anchorage-based arts, music and culture publication. Additionally, she is a recurring host for Hometown, Alaska, on Alaska Public Radio. Her work can be found in numerous statewide and national media outlets, including Alaska Newspapers, Fodor’s Alaska, 90.3 KNBA, Anchorage and First Alaskans Magazine. With a command of grammar and a flare for style, Ballas holds awards from Alaska Press Club, Alaska Professional Communicators, The National Federation of Women in Press and others. Her formal education began at a small college in Texas and was finalized with a bachelor’s degree in journalism from UAA.

Cameron brings to his new position his previous experience as the laser technician and webmaster with the Great Alaska Bowl Co., where he redesigned the new online store. His responsibilities included photography, copywriting, traffic management, client contact and project management. He also worked with the Alaska Volcano Observatory as the Web and data specialist, combining his passion for standards and usability with his formal education in geology; picking up additional skills including videography and the creation of outreach materials for scientists. With his abundant knowledge in all things pertinent to an advertising agency, Cameron is a valuable asset to the newly expanded team-atmosphere at Solstice.
