“Culture, like brand, is misunderstood and often discounted as a touchy-feely component of business that belongs to HR. It’s not intangible or fluffy, it’s not a vibe or the office décor. It’s one of the most important drivers that has to be set or adjusted to push long-term, sustainable success.”
Jiberish Fall 2011 Lookbook
“For their Fall Collection Jiberish decided to venture outside of their traditional lookbook and create a video to showcase a few pieces through film.” —Michael Clark, videographer and creator of the lookbook.
As a bonus, I just realized that Michael Clark is active on Tumblr and using our Swell theme.

Nike Mag 2011
“Great Scott!” Nike is finally releasing the shoe that every kid in the 80s dreamed of owning. Unfortunately the auto-laces feature doesn’t come out until 2015. With a limited run of 1,500 shoes, Nike is auctioning them off on eBay to benefit the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. There is only 10 hours to go on some of the first shoes being auctioned, and the bids are already hitting $6,000.

MTV Explains the Internet
Back in the day when MTV had something to do with music, they put together this segment where Michael Jackson, Coolio, Ozzy and Dave Matthews explain the internet.

School Bullying
Photographer Benoit Paillé was asked to participate in an art installation in Aomori, Japan on the topic of school bullying. Benoit created a large canvas of the children’s eyes looking across at their drawings about bullying on the other wall. All of the eyes in the full set featured on Behance are rich with emotion.

Now they only need a handful of people to help fund the project on Kickstarter. They have my pledge!
“The goal is not to fix your weaknesses. The goal is to amplify your strengths and surround yourself with the people who can do what you can’t do.”
Simon Sinek
If you Don’t Understand People You Don’t Understand Business
Sinek argues that as individuals and companies, everything that we say and do is a symbol of who we are. And it is only when we communicate our beliefs authentically that we can attract others to our cause, and form the bonds that will empower us to achieve truly great things.
