Never stop learning. I believe this desire is what makes people, organizations and brands great. As we’ve grown, our agency has been lucky to learn from amazing clients, production partners, industry leaders–and, of course, each other.

Sometime in the past year, one of the whiz kids from Red Square came up with the idea of putting on a recurring educational series that would be high on smarts and low on boring. So, we invented Red Tuesday. Held on the first Tuesday of each month, these agency-wide gatherings feature presenters who school us on industry trends, techniques and/or general coolness. The programs are catered (this seems to increase attendance, surprise surprise) and are always hyped by an appropriately clever poster.

In the past several months, we’ve heard from each of our departments as they’ve discussed processes and intricacies of their particular side of the business. We’ve also been privileged to have Michael McSunas speak to us about advertising law, everything from trademark infringement to the implications of social media. On tap today, we’ve got Ward Binns from AirTight Design teaching us how to “Pimp My Web.” And in the months ahead, we’ve got some pretty awesome programs planned, including improv training for our entire staff by a world-famous comedy troupe.

We’ll be posting updates on our mental cross-training here.
