Carrot Creative is participating in the month-long-moustache-growing-charity-event to help raise money for the fight against prostate cancer. Below are the before and after shots of our fine gentlemen. And please don’t forget… Continue Reading

Oops I 404′d Again…
A Round Up of Agency 404 Error Pages Let’s face it — 404 pages may not always be a top priority, but for creative agencies it’s important to embrace the opportunity an error page presents. Beyond the obvious utility these pages provide, 404 pages are a great chance to showcase your agency’s personality, creative chops, and attention to detail. Whether it’s treated as an extension of your brand, or a playful easter egg, these once dull error pages are now considered to… Continue Reading

Social Media: An Enterprise Perspective
Recently I had the privilege of participating in a groundbreaking social media study underwritten by Cisco, spearheaded by one of my mentors, Dr. Neil Hair and sponsored by my Alma Mater, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and the University of Navarra. The comprehensive global study sought to better understand how consumer-based social media tools effect both interpersonal collaboration within a corporate setting and external communication with key stakeholders. The direct impact of this study is not only a greater understanding… Continue Reading
