Love this video of our client Tsunami Glassworks discussing their art and their backgrounds.

This is a clever little YouTube infomercial argument for social media that is very compelling - I hesitate to agree with the producer's enthusiasm for Gen X driving the way the trend is evolving, and I think their concept is...

When I first saw these "Soft Boxes" from our client Tsunami Glassworks, I must say I fell hard. I'm a sucker for deep, mysteriously drenched color, and these beautiful vases really fit the bill. The collection comes in a rainbow...

If you erupt into a mini giggling fit when you watch this video (from Sony Vaio) about Social Media, you may need to seek counseling (like I do).

I love this event - a giant dancing and karoke party held on the Museum of Fine Art in Boston's front lawn to kick off what sounds like an interesting exhibit. As described by the museum: ""Seeing Songs" presents an...

I got an invitation this morning to join the new social network StyleCaster (which sounds suspiciously like a column that I write called Trendcaster on Bloomacious.com) - naturally I immediately zoomed over to take a look and post my mug...

I saw this on If It's Hip It's Here and had to repost it because I thought it was so clever and relevant - the details are pretty cut and dry so I'll just paraphrase from Laura Sweet's post (since...

I think in the blogging and online world there are two types of folks - the font lovers and those that are just fine with arial, helvetica, times roman, and verdana as their arsenal of expression. I'm a little font...

Europeans know a few things about fashion - and one of them is about getting the public's attention.  As Alexander McQueen's Fall 09 show walked amid the piles of multi-hued rubble on Tuesday - eyes as wide as saucers around the world took it in.  With outfits so outrageous even master showman John Galliano must have been impressed, bird cage and hubcap hats were cast against striking tweeds, sumptuous ballgowns, and strident suiting. 
Love the collection or hate it, you must talk about it.  Which works out well for McQueen since he's launching his McQ line at Target this month.  Not to say the two collections are in any way related, but the brand is enjoying some delicious and well earned exposure as virtually every magazine and website is actively engaged in sharing their perspective on the show.  Here's a few comments:The New York Times writes:  "With a runway of broken mirrors surrounding a garbage heap made of
props from his own past collections, Mr. McQueen created a stage to
symbolize the sudden crash of luxury exuberance. The clothes he sent
out were a parody of couture designs of the last century, spoofing Dior’s New Look and Givenchy’s little black Audrey Hepburn
dresses, as well as their reinventions by new designers at those
companies in the last decade — himself included. It was a bit of a
Marie Antoinette riot, poking fun at all the queens of French fashion.“This
whole situation is such a cliché,” Mr. McQueen said before his show.
“The turnover of fashion is just so quick and so throwaway, and I think
that is a big part of the problem. There is no longevity.”"Grazia Daily wrote:"We'd heard the McQueen A/W ’09 show was going to be special. But
'special' in fashion-speak usually means a surprise performance from a
pop star or a novelty stage set. So, on a rainy Tuesday night in Paris,
when Alexander McQueen let loose his latest collection to the world's
fashion press, no one was expecting a show so beautiful it would bring
a tea

We were pretty amused with this interview with our client Mark Shaw of Sunkist Naturals.  Robert Scoble of Fast Company Magazine did a great job of bringing out the tech angle of a lifestyle story.

Earlier in the week we posted an article about The Jersey Devil. We were really jazzed to find out the details behind the history of the area that spawned the legend of the creature thanks to Richard Wiese. We're pretty certain that most people who follow JD do it purely out of enthusiasm for the mystique of things unknown. While ghosts and psychic imprints have been convincingly shown to be authentic by various people and groups, there are quite a few creatures whose existence has been helped along

 
Who's cooler than Gwen Stefani these days?  She's stylish and smart and when it comes to marketing she certainly doesn't drop the ball either. 
To get young girls involved in her Harajuku Lovers fragrance, she worked with agency Syrup to create a karaoke video sharing program in which fans can record and post videos of themselves singing to her songs.  Visitors to the site can vote and comment on videos, purchase fragrance, and watch other promo videos from the company.

CNBC's current public relations / ad campaign iam american business is so good it literally gives me chills. I know, I'm a sap, but I really love branding, media, and business strategy. It's in my DNA, so when I finally saw the commercial for the campaign I was captivated.

iam American business is a series of commercials that look at industry icons from Sumner Redstone and Boone Pickens, to Tory Burch (left) and Bobbi Brown (her commercial is below). I think if anyone needed some inspiration for worki
