Your brand is built moment by moment… ✨Every ad. Every social post. Every email.

🎄Even a Christmas card, like this one for EverBless Foundation, can be an unexpected opportunity to connect to the human side of your business. After all, who doesn’t like to see their associates having a little fun?

This idea was such a hit that we extended it to their email and social media. We even made a life-size cutout to engage visitors.

So, as the year wraps up and you take a moment to thank your clients, don’t overlook this golden opportunity.

BONUS: It also may give your CEO the opportunity to strike some funny poses. 😂

This piece was written by our Associate Creative Director, Jenna Weidner.

I don’t know about you, but I am so sick of hearing about AI.

“Are you scared that you’re going to lose your job?”
“Can’t it, like, do everything you do, but better?”
“Are we all going to be robots in 20 years?”

But for me, the strategic question isn’t whether to use AI — it’s how we use it.

As brands like Coca-Cola (who have totally butchered my beloved polar bear commercials: https://bit.ly/4o90VfM) lean again and again into AI-generated content, the real opportunity for humans lies in the messy, meaningful — and yes — human ideas that machines still struggle to make.

My takeaway: The real magic is pairing AI-driven efficiency with the human spark. Let machines handle the heavy lifting (scaling, variants, testing). But keep the humans (who, let me remind you, are the home team) in the driver’s seat: doing the storytelling, the emotion, the cultural nuance — those things that still carry weight.

What’s a recent ad/campaign you loved that felt “human first”?

P.S. The visual for this piece was AI-generated in Photoshop using the prompt: A creative person looking scared and thinking about polar bears at Christmas. Since robots still have trouble with words, a human typed the headline. 😉

Personal. Persuasive. Powerful.

Nothing motivates an audience quite like a personal story — especially when it’s told through video.

Working alongside bookend creative , we strategically captured Bella Jessee’s inspiring story for EverBless Foundation . The two-minute spot makes a surprisingly compelling connection between Bella’s tragic past and her promising future, shining a light on how life-changing scholarships can be.

We think it’s one of the most powerful videos we’ve ever done. What do you think?

3 Best Practices for a Standout Annual Report 📊✨

Your annual report isn’t just a year-end requirement — it’s one of your organization’s most powerful storytelling tools. When designed with strategy and purpose, it can inspire supporters, engage stakeholders, and elevate your brand. Here are three annual report best practices:

1️⃣ Lead with a Strong Theme.
A cohesive theme ties everything together — from visuals to messaging. For Better Housing Coalition’s “Building Home” report, we carried their arched roof logo into the design and repeated the word “building” in headlines to emphasize their impact in creating homes and communities.

2️⃣ Create a Visual Centerpiece.
A powerful center spread can tell your story at a glance. For Saint Francis – Manchester’s “Growing Up” report, we designed a tree-inspired timeline that traced the assisted living community’s history — blending meaningful photography and key milestones.

3️⃣ Share Real Stories.
Personal stories from customers, beneficiaries, employees, volunteers, donors and other community members bring your impact to life. Authentic voices build connection — and make your report more than just numbers on a page.

🔎 So, what are your biggest challenges when it comes to your annual report?

🏠 Roofers are a dime a dozen. They all say the same things. 😴 That’s why — even as we touted SlopePro Roofing’s ✅extensive experience, ✅exceptional craftsmanship, and ✅exhaustive 12-point inspection — creating a truly breakthrough message proved elusive ...
.. until we shifted our focus to their convenience! No longer will homeowners have to ❌schedule invasive inspections or ❌endure high-pressure sales pitches. They can now get a real quote from SlopePro —straight from their phone. 📲

This 30-second spot, artfully shot by bookend creative, captures the frustration and freedom experienced by homeowners in an 👀impossible-to-ignore way👀. Don't believe us? See for yourself.

It’s finally here!

What began as a simple redesign has become one of the largest web endeavors we've ever undertaken.
