‘Unattended children will be given espresso and gin’ — a perfect example of what Daniel Pink refers to as emotionally intelligent sinage. Awesome as it is it might even have been 1upped by this sign available on Amazon.

Big Spaceship / Our Team Structure. Instead of sitting by discipline, we set up shop the same way we produce our work — small groups that are encouraged to develop their own efficiencies and allow all voices and perspectives to be heard. Rather than cascading information from one department to another, a team comprised of each of our four disciplines – strategy, design, technology and production – works on an engagement from beginning to end. By bringing all of our knowledge to bear from the onset of a relationship, we arrive at innovative, actionable solutions.
Oh, and on top of producing stellar creative work they’ve been featured on AdAge’s Best Places To Work.
