Purpose, for whatever's next

We gave our 10 year old daughter an iPad mini recently. Have you ever seen a little person use a tablet? Its pretty amazing. They navigate the interface instinctively. This thing, requiring enormous computing complexity to design and build, is yet so simple that even a child can use it with little to no instruction. And then when you factor in the knowledge base of the web, her possibilities become almost limitless.

Raising The Roof Repackages Help

Raising The Roof is a charity focused on creating homelessness awareness. For 16 years, they've raised donation money by selling toques - Canadian, for winter hat.

The biggest barrier stopping people from buying a hat was that they were unsure exactly where that money went, how it is used and who it would help. And, hats just don't evoke emotional connections. So we repackaged the hats and gave them a purpose. Now people weren't buying hats, they were buying solutions.

When to Take My Name Off the Door

On the day when Leo Burnett formally retired as the head of his company at the age of 76, his valedictory address to his employees was a remarkable one. Delivered on December 1, 1967, his remarks serve as guidelines of standards for the agency and still inspire us, even after all this time.
