An onlooking colleague turned to another colleague and remarked that Brian was a “typical dumb-ass American.” Another colleague asked him, “Is that the way you do it where you come from?”

The new AGO is Toronto-born Frank Gehry’s first building in Canada and marks the very place where he made the initial connection between art and architecture. Hallmarks of his AGO design connect the city and the Gallery in provocative new ways including, dramatic sculptural staircases, the warmth of Douglas fir, andthe extensive use of glass which infuses the galleries with naturallight. As you will discover, it is an extraordinary new home for extraordinary new art. Take a trip to the AGO today!

A new lighter than light yet “premium” beer from our friends at Moosehead. Great branding, packaging, design and message. 3.5% alc though? Time to give it a taste.

This is perhaps the best product catalogue I have seen online in quite sometime. Its a successful marriage of both brand and technology which makes it genuinely engaging.

Action sports have rich tradition of screwing up their online marketing initiatives. Its nice to see a small company getting it right by creating exclusive web content that is extremely well done and true to their brand.
