A short paragraph on you, what you love in this business and why we should work with you.
At this point these positions are contract/project only but may grow into something more.
We love old machines. We love type. And it doesn’t get much more interesting than this. In 1886 Linotype changed the world. But today, it is a relic of the past. Help get this film made to keep future generations aware of our beautiful history.
“Linotype: The Film” is a documentary about Ottmar Mergenthaler’s amazing Linotype typecasting machine and the people who own and love these machines today.
“Creativity” is a work thrown around by a lot of people, ourselves included. And there are many takes and perspectives on the topic. Here is another interesting one from Teresa Amabile via The Harvard Business Review. 2:49 PM Monday November 15, 2010 by Teresa Amabile Creativity is under threat. It happens whenever and…(Read More)
Today we are sharing another story. One that makes us think “I wish I’d thought of that”. Great ideas can come from anywhere. You just need the passion and tools to make them come to realization.
Keep playing. Keep dreaming.
Inspiration pt.1 By THEM | Published: Wednesday, November 17, 2010
As a “creative company” (as we like to think of ourselves), our mission is this:
We exist to CREATE to EXPERIMENT to GENERATE THOUGHT to MOVE PEOPLE to PUSH BUTTONS to STIMULATE CONVER SATION to CHANGE MINDS and to PROVOKE ACTION. ~ THEM!
We don’t think of ourselves as designers, art-directors, writers, planners or strategists, we work hard to stay focused on problem-solving.
Our job is to solve problems and achieve goals for our partners and clients. We have to utilize every tool and tactic at our disposal to make this happen. In order to do this as well as possible we need to stay inspired, and that’s not always an easy thing to do.
It’s very easy to fall into the same old creative traps of using the same tactics and thinking simply because it worked before. Not to say that there isn’t validity in that approach. But if we stop exploring, stop thinking, stop playing, we’ll never find that new opportunity or new success story that will make business progress.
Today we found inspiration in a seemingly unrelated place. A video about a man and his bike.
We could simply look on the surface of this production, the beautiful scenery and cinematography, the amazing things he is doing on his bike, and the emotional music, which is all great, but we saw more.
We saw a person accomplishing things that really don’t seem possible.
We saw a team finding opportunity where is wasn’t seen before.
We saw a unique viewpoint that found beauty in the everyday.
We saw the answer to the question “What If?“
And we saw the action of “Why Not?”
And this is inspiration to us. To continue thinking, questioning, looking, exploring and playing. It’s what we do.
