The True Reason for the Season

‘Tis the season for Christmas commercials. Cars with big red bows, jolly Santa Clauses, jingling Hershey’s Kisses—you know them all. But just in the last week or so, I’ve seen two Christmas commercials that have struck me. Perhaps because they lack all the trappings of the typical Christmas ads, but more likely because they cut […]

The Art and Science of Playing Nice

Oh, the internet. The home of dog videos, presidential memes, and listicles. Also the home to basically every idea ever. Honestly, it’s nearly impossible to have an original idea these days.

Election Day Eve. For most people, it means we are one day closer to the best day of the election cycle­—the day it ends. I am unlike most people. Typically, I love election season. “Saturday Night Live” content is richer. TV ads that sell insurance, cars, and gum are replaced by ones that sell ideas. […]

Words Matter

“Let’s hone in on that idea and really flush out a plan.” We’re in the business of communication. Words matter. It is often said that the English language is one of the most difficult to learn. That’s not surprising. So many words in the English language look and/or sound alike, but have completely different meanings. […]
