my biggest wish for 2025 is that we take these ad campaigns OUTSIDE
these plain white cycs or contrast backgrounds are worn out!!!

unironically loving this design update from ⁦@rothys⁩ — the halo on the heel is a great “if you know you know” easter egg, but pulling the signet through from the graphic expression into the product design is a deft touch

[Austin Hampton @austinhampton]

we have fantastic branding, and an incredible roster

Remembering Alfred Hitchcock today on his birthday 🖤

What is your favorite film by the director?

[Austin Hampton @austinhampton]

there’s a comfort in a brand alluding to the notion that our progress (especially in physical pursuits) isn’t always linear. in our current landscape, that feels really special

[Austin Hampton @austinhampton]

there’s something about the “welcome back to earth” spots from salomon that are really resonating

[Austin Hampton @austinhampton]

just being inundated with the perfection chasing, ultra-curated Alos, Lululemons, Equinoxes, etc. of the world, something about a performance brand that has a sincerity of looking inward for motivation is really something

[Austin Hampton @austinhampton]

everyone, i found the ads that we’ve all been working on (it’s Prime)

i find it really really hard to look at things i’ve written (tweets, op-eds, journal entries, etc.) — why is that?

[Austin Hampton @austinhampton]

saying something like “tickles my fancy, fries my potato skins” is so cringey i see what i was trying to do but sheesh

what’s the rule for asking clients for their products? not like a shoot or anything, but just to have and to hold

[Austin Hampton @austinhampton]

pitches are either an agency love fest or a dumpster fire. there’s no in between. both end with drinks, hopefully a lot.

this takes all of the energy and culture building from the Raptors’ #WeTheNorth campaign/identity and turns it up to 11. solidifying fandom and fanaticism by giving your biggest supporters a literal piece of the club’s success is so so special.

So excited for my new colleagues! Our industry notoriously skews more white, so I'm excited at the new points of view @SidLee has added to our talented team. There's more work to do, but I'm excited by the addition of these broader, more diverse perspectives.
