Pitch
Want to invite us for a pitch? Why don’t you rather invite me for a coffee? See, it is supposed to be a love-love relationship, not love-hate to begin with.
It seems easiest for some clients to get ideas and not pay for them (or give small compensation for the trouble). But here is the thing: who can create something good without a serious discussion? It is like buying a lottery ticket. Meaning that a particular client will receive and select something where he is not even involved in the process.
Pitch is a bitch from the advertising world.
Even for advertising, this must be a bad start (even if they are used to it), but in the design world, the lottery aspect will stick with you for years to come. Are you sure this is a good way to do something new?
Let’s rather have a coffee or two. We will discuss the project, and we will get excited. It can become a great love story.

Do What You Don’t Know
Creative risk taking in design is what separates true creators from skilled repeaters. Experience teaches us efficiency, but creative risk taking in design demands we abandon what we know and venture into uncomfortable territory where genuine innovation lives.
A healthy brand
Sustainable brand design faces a critical challenge as greenwashing transforms meaningful environmental commitment into empty marketing buzzwords.
