Turns out, divas and donkeys do have some similarities. Both kick when angry. And both were just featured in HOW International Design Awards.
Then of course there’s Donkey Kong, who’s actually an ape, and well, you really don’t want to get him mad. Anyhoo, no one’s angry at the moment, so nothing to… Read More

So many good things end in –ettes. Think about it. Rockettes. Audiocasettes. Baguettes. MarCom Statuettes.
Here’s to the French for sharing that suffix with us. And wine. And cheese. Ok, now back to our regularly scheduled self-promotion. FAME rocked this year’s MarCom competition with Platinum… Read More

FAME holiday spot for Time Warner Cable focuses on moments of joy. Opens on airport delay.
