Welcome to the Inferno.

ii2k9

We all know 160over90 employees tend to get a little paddle happy, but now it’s time hand over the boom sticks and see what the interns are made of.  Intern Inferno 2k9 will pit the interns against one another in head-to-head ping pong battles, testing their stability, stamina, and sass. With four rounds of grueling table tennis in this epic battle, there is no room for error or limp wrists. The interns will need to train day and night to prepare themselves for deceptive … MORE

I Want My (Their) MTV

mtv_logo

This morning, Creative Review released a behind-the-scenes of the new MTV “refresh.” Overseen by motion powerhouse Universal Everything in concert with a cadre of MTV Creative Directors from the around the world, the brand refresh strips the logo of all of it’s dynamic, chameleon-like metamorphosizing and leaves it black and white. Always.

It seems like over the last few years they’ve been doing a great job of branding the MTV logo as a being in itself, which, although a little schizophrenic, seemed to parallel the inherent identity issues that result from pop culture … MORE

What’s old is now stylish

TTstar

I’m in love with ADVANCED STYLE! It borrows from sites like THE SARTORIALIST & LOOKBOOK.nu, which I would say have more of a trend-based approach to style and fashion. What’s special about ADVANCED STYLE is that it’s all about amazing personal style and not just what’s cool this season.

Trends are fleeting and fashion seems to change by the week. But this site really does provide “Proof from the wizened and silver-haired set that personal style advances with age.”

Guys and Gals, take some notes. These stylish seniors could … MORE

Importance of a Brand Community

Fresh off of my most recent semester at Temple and my course in Consumer and Buyer Behavior, I have gained some insight into both the purpose and the importance of Brand communities in today’s world.  As we all know, it is vital to stress the connection between a specific brand, individual identities as well as the overall culture of a community to fully gain the trust and loyalty of today’s often transitory consumer.  Popular brand communities are found in cars (Jeep, Saab, and VW), computers, and even movies (The Godfather, … MORE

A Penning Prank Played on Penning

So not only is Stephen Penning (of the Believin’ Stephen fame) able to accurately predict babies’ births, but he also can be a bit of a prankster. SP has played many a prank on the Operations department, and we resolved that we had to get him back. But how? Sadly, it took us a while for inspiration and timing to all coincide – but last week they all fell into place.

SP announced that he and his wife are expecting their first baby (so now we will have to see how accurate he is on predicting his own child’s birth). With … MORE

They paved paradise…(part due)

Every silver lining has a cloud, so of course as I was chronicling unexpected moments of suburban American beauty, I also experienced this penultimate moment of suburban American douchebaggery. A Ferrari 612 Scaglietti enjoying service at the Sonic Drive-In. If you have a hankering for cheesy tots, please spare the Rossa Corsa paint and Atelier leather and take the Hummer instead. Grazie mille.

They paved paradise…

We’ve experienced some pretty unique, tropical paradise-like weather during the past week, especially over the river and through the woods where I reside. So please enjoy a couple of quick (iPhone) photos taken from suburban New Jersey parking lots over the past several days. Who needs Hawaii when you have Haddonfield in the summer?
