Parked Car
I work from home and this allows me some very nice creature comforts; I don’t have to go into an office every day, I can sleep and work on my own schedule and I don’t have to ask for the day off to celebrate my once a year Irish heritage. This St. Patty’s day found me meeting a good friend at his house to take a trip up to Bailey’s to watch some basketball games and imbibe in a few adult...
It's Time
I left my position as Sales Director for evolve group, inc on Wednesday.
While those words feel very foreign to say, I know that it was time to move on. I had an unbelievable run there, made some money (multiple years of over $1 million in revenue), made a lot of new connections, learned more than I previously felt I could pack into my little brain (and I mean little), made some friendships,...

WatchCharlie Wollberg, who holds the coveted title of “Chief Troublemaker” at Curve Detroit, a marketing strategy and creative design firm in Pontiac Michigan, says in his vlog that Michigan is on its way to a 3.1 billion dollar bailout!
If every shopper bought $20 worth of michigan made groceries every week, that’s how much money we’d keep in state every year! Not to...
Superbowl Advertising Dollars Down →
The spending on advertising for the Superbowl is a microcosm of what’s going on in the world right now. Companies are choosing to spend their money in areas where they see a slightly larger opportunity than trying to talk to Jim Football who’s sitting home on his couch watching tv.

The Big Bang... Today →
While American scientists are busying themselves creating boners and hair, scientists in Switzerland are conducting an experiment that is actually worth a damn.
The re-creation of the Big Bang is being touted as possibly ”the most exciting thing since Einstein.”
From the article, “It is in a sense a time machine to look back to the earliest moments of creation and to be able to...

This is awesome… a Swiss company is using old tarps off of trucks to make a multitude of bags for your liking.
The coolest part, they show you the tarp and you design the bag yourself using multiple parts that haven’t yet been cut off for other bags. If someone else has used a certain spot, your out of luck.
Their motto? Freitag: It’s Your Fault.

The Detroit Dish →
For any of you fans of our local Detroit music scene out there (best in the country, suckas) take a peek at Motor City Rocks. I’ve been following it for awhile now, and it really is the best place to find out what’s going on in rock n roll around Detroit.
CBGB Boutique →
Detroit’s own John Varvatos has bought the former CBGB club in New York and is using the space to sell clothing, while keeping the integrity of the scene and the history it represents, intact. Detroit could use a bit of that flava…

Meet the Directors
Justin is what we like to call the “Creative Lead” in what we do. He’s a graduate of the College for Creative Studies, a real “hoighty toighty” design school in downtown Detroit. He drives the creative direction of the company, and 100% of the projects that go out the door. Justin’s strengths are in his ability to take everyday things and turn them into...
