Last night I had the privilege of being a panel member for the Social Media and Presidential Elections Conference at the Samsung Experience on Columbus Circle. I wanted to thank the organizers: NY:MIEG, E.Factor and CBSAC/NY for putting on a smart and engaging affair. I liked seeing how all the different panel members were using social media to influence and inform everyday people about important political issues. Ellis Henican did a great job moderating the event, everything flowed smoothly and the packed audience… Continue Reading

You Got That On Tape Right?
Of course we did! Newfangled digital tape of course! Today we had the pleasure of overlooking the “set” of Law & Order Criminal Intent and the fabulous NYC based drama Gossip Girl. Our view from the front lines is available on our flickr page.

Thank you Marcus Eaton Trio & TR3
I just wanted to express my gratitude to Marcus Eaton Trio and Tim Reynolds / TR3 (and both of their crews/management) for their generosity and kindness. If you missed out on Saturday’s show at the Highline Ballroom in NYC, be sure to catch these guys when they’re back to NYC, likely in a couple of months. Not only are both bands tremendously talented, they are great folks to hangout with (a great perk of my job), and certainly great clients… Continue Reading

There's Life After College!?
What once seemed so far away is now a reality: I’m a full-fledged member of the real world. Yesterday I spent my day talking with students at my alma mater, RIT, about life after college and the wonders of brand management. I had a blast dialoguing with my former classmates about successful brand programmes, social-media, and the state of the design community. It’s amazing to see the fresh insight that college students bring to the table, as well as to… Continue Reading

Does street cred trickle down?
We’re gonna go ahead and say yes. The Brooklyn Paper recently reported that Spike Lee is making moves to the 6th floor of our awesome building in DUMBO. We are on the 3rd floor of 55 Washington St… so we basically have become cooler overnight. Our CEO- Robert Gaafar- is already projecting exponential growth in sales and awesomeness for the remainder of our fiscal year. Meanwhile, the rest of us are going to have to play it cool and hope… Continue Reading
