Prairie Guerilla: Big Rock
They’ve been around for a while now, but I have to say these Big Rock hay bale beer cans are one of the best local examples of guerilla marketing I’ve seen. Driving down the Trans Canada, you’ve got these bales all over that are roughly the shape of a big beer can, let’s cover them [...]
Twitter by Design
It seems to me, for whatever reason, a lot of people I know (some who are avid Facebook users) have been slow to adopt to Twitter. I understand, it is kind of a difficult concept to grasp unless you’re super tech-savvy progressive or until you’re really waist deep into it. But once you are in [...]

I’m Not Into The Calgary Public Library Ad Campaign
So how do we make reading cool? Watercolors and bad script typefaces? YES! Yes, shockingly I don’t like this new campaign by the Calgary Public Library.
