#progressis…

February 27th, 2012 BY Adam Caron

We have all seen it before. The brand-new, shiny, luxury automobile cruising through some kind of a-typical terrain, cutting to shots of a smooth, spacious, quiet interior. While lacking any major creativity, these commercials seem to get their point across. We usually get a snapshot of the performance of the car (whether that’s done via [...]

Colours

February 24th, 2012 BY Kaitlin Sullivan

My uncle advised me to read Daniel Pink’s book, A Whole New Mind. Apparently, it’s about how the world is moving from a left-brain-dominated silo into a creative, empathetic, quirky, right-brained mega-society. I have yet to read it and cannot help but wonder if it’s the truth, or if it’s some Right-Brainer’s wishful thinking. This [...]

OMG SOCIAL MEDIA!

February 22nd, 2012 BY Grant Spanier

Last week, Chad Olsen and I had the opportunity to speak with an interactive advertising class at the University of Minnesota. The class had just entered the social media phase of their schedule, so the professor invited us to discuss social media and how we’re using it in our work. I also decided to analyze [...]

The Digital vs. Physical Space

February 20th, 2012 BY Kelsey Voorhees

The first thing I do in the morning is look at my phone. I check to see what time it is, either hit the snooze button on my alarm or roll over and get out of bed, check my messages and email, confirm my calendar, play some music and get ready. I noticed that this [...]

Caribou Coffee Rebrand Check-up

February 13th, 2012 BY Mike Weiss

Yes, I’ll admit it. I was one of the many ‘Bou crew members in 2010 when Caribou announced it was rebranding. I couldn’t have been more excited at the time. I was in the prime of my undergrad education in marketing – and to be in the midst of such an evolution was nothing short of fascinating. At the [...]

Rocky. Vampires. David Beckham. Oh My!

February 8th, 2012 BY Emilee Sirek

No blog would be complete without a cliché post about infamous Super Bowl commercials. However, in an effort to make this blog a little less typical when compared to every other blog that will be posted in the week following the big football event, I wanted to dissect a few commercials that I thought were [...]

Message in a [$3.5 million] Bottle

February 5th, 2012 BY Roy Son

  Some things are just better live and in person – a concert, a movie in the theater, the um… Super Bowl. The emotion and raw energy of your surroundings, combined with the overpriced drinks and raucous noise, join together to form one hell of an experience. If you watch football, you’ve probably seen this [...]

Go ahead, girl. Eat that red velvet cupcake.

February 1st, 2012 BY Alyssa Adkins

It’s crazy to think that it’s already a month into 2012. As the calendars roll into February, it seems to me like a perfect time to reflect on those New Year’s resolutions made in the holiday haze of 2011. Every year, I seem to make the same ‘ole resolutions. Eat better. Work out more. Those [...]
