As of late, we've had an influx of print work that's changed up our usual dynamics of website, logo, repeat. I have to admit, it's been a lot of fun!

It's not very often that I take up a war metaphor. I'm a lover, not a fighter. However, when it comes to advertising, a strategic campaign is far better than random act. We might initially think of campaign as more of a political term, but it has it's origins in military use. An advertising campaign isn't like a political race; it's not a competition. An advertising campaign is war. That might sound harsh coming from a pacifist, but I think that the intended meaning of the word campaign might help us to better understand good advertising.
