Muesli: It's not the tastiest of breakfasts or something you really look forward to in the morning, but it's good for you. That's why W+K NYC's Stuart Smith named his weekly newsletter of the latest and greatest examples of media-related innovation the Monday Media Muesli. What started out as a...

25... it's not a bad number, really. In fact, we kind of like it. Think about it: When you were 25 you realized that you were half way to 50 and probably decided to do something crazy like go sky diving to remind yourself that you were still young and...

By Dan Kroeger Awhile back, we had a pretty exciting guest here in Portland. He played a few songs for us and pretty much blew everyone’s brains apart. And sure, we all cleaned up the grey matter and went back to work, but he left an indelible mark on a...

The answer is: of course you have. You’ve shown your enthusiasm for your favorite team. You’ve participated in a group rally to help show your school spirit. When a sea of arms wave across a large stadium, you can't help but opt-in. Imagine a wave that starts online. Come on,...

Yesterday, Creativity and Ad Age named us Agency of the Year. Ad Age described it as "a two-fer, a double-double, snake eyes" because it marks the first time that both publications have named the same agency. What an honor. To say that we are grateful is an understatement. We are...

By Brian Oberkirch When we first came to interview here, David Terry (Gonzo Planning Guy), asked us: what are we going to do about the culture of meanness on YouTube? What a ridiculous question, I thought. After solving for teen snark, basement troll obsessions and anonymized hating, we could just...

You might remember that we did a feature on some of our favorite W+K'ers awhile back: our dogs. As you can imagine in a 6-floor-animal-loving-office we have quite a few other four-legged friends to share with you. So, this week we are featuring Mr. Budgie and Ms. Kona. Meet Heather...
