For the past two years, on (almost) every fourth Saturday of the month, our apartment turns into a part-time restaurant. Sixteen to 20 people show up at our gate over by the Domino Sugar Factory, tucked under the Williamsburg Bridge, to eat with people they’ve never met. We call it Neighbor…

Tattoo artists have to have a very steady hand. In order to apply for a job at the Berrge tattoo studio they had to prove this by filling in the QR code very carefully. Once they completed the QR code they could scan it and apply for the job online.

” The 91st Art Directors Club Annual This book is an extension of the “keep fighting the good fight” campaign, which pokes fun at the industry while celebrating the best of the year’s creative achievements. Designed at DDB New York, Creative Direction: Matt Eastwood & Menno Kluin, Art Direction: Carlos Wigle, Copywriter: Aron Fried, Book Design: Juan Carlos Pagan & Brian Gartside, Illustrations: Rami Niemi.”
At DDB we are guided by playbooks, not rule books. Rigid methodologies minimize creativity. Paint-by-numbers gets you the same painting every time. That is not to say we do not have tried and true approaches to building and growing world class brands – we do. But rather than share our methodologies, we rather you spend time on the rest of this site and take a look at examples of our work, peruse some of our thinking, participate in our debates and discussions – basically get to know who we are.

Kate Spade Reinvents Retail As A Lean Startup
“All businesses need to learn, starting with the minimum viable product, getting it into the hands of consumers, seeing how people react to it, and paying attention to what users want is the biggest success of this campaign,” Colin O’Donnell, a partner at Control Group, says. “[The signage is a] great, beautiful product. But for me, it’s amazing to see an organization embrace that lean startup technology.”
With a lean startup mentality, Kate Spade doesn’t need to prognosticate the habits of their customer base. They can hypothesize, test that hypothesis, and refine over time.
“If we threw the kitchen sink at it right off the bat, it’d be a very cluttered experience,” O’Donnell adds. “As we add new features, we should look at features we can take away.”
Yellow & black + graphic patterns = Dream come true. I totally wanna take a look at the actual store now.
