But there would be no new orifices created that day. Chestnut, the founder of email marketing and newsletter company MailChimp, does things a little differently. He stormed into the marketing and design departments and demanded they come up with a coloring book called Love What You Do, featuring baby Freddie Chimpenheimer (excerpt: “Hi I’m Freddie. It’s fun to be me! Is it fun to be you?”). Sure, the CEO was a little concerned that he hadn’t known about the tag, but, as he noted in a blog post on the incident, it was “pretty spot-on, so I got over it.” … [Read more...] about Creative Cultures: MailChimp Grants Employees “Permission To Be Creative”

The moment I bit into a quail’s egg and its warm yolk exploded in my mouth was the moment I started to cry–out of sheer joy and sensory overwhelm, and perhaps the influence of an earlier-than-usual serving of beer. That emotion tipped even further over the line with the presentation of a terra cotta flower pot bursting with sprigs of carrot greens emerging from soil that was covering a thick, bright green sauce made of asparagus. All of it was meant to be eaten with our fingers. “There better not be anything left in that pot when I get back,” a waiter/chef playfully taunted. The edible dirt turned out to be finger-licking good. As were courses that followed for which they provided forks: grilled baby cucumbers with chamomile buds, parsley, berries and fermented pea “miso”; onions with green strawberry sauce and lemon thyme; and pike perch wrapped in grilled cabbage. If there was an off note in the whole lunch, it was dessert; but perhaps carrots and … [Read more...] about How The Best Restaurant In The World Stays That Way

Then, in a brilliant interactive move, the zoo asked its social media fans to share their best screen shots of the baby panda on the zoo’s Flickr, so fans could feel like they were part of the process. Finally, and tragically, when the baby panda died, that was recorded on the panda cam, too, and explained on the zoo’s Twitter and Facebook. Social media provided a great resource for fans who wanted information, but it also provided them with connection and a place to share their grief. … [Read more...] about Social Animals: Behind The Community-Building Culture Of The National Zoo

Almost a year into Smith’s tenure, it’s clear that the integration has been fairly seamless, and that’s because of the site’s egalitarian attitude toward different kinds of content, both editorial and advertorial. Employees don’t feel “that advertising is a necessary evil, or that the content that drives lots of traffic isn’t important, or that the journalism doesn’t get any traffic, it’s just a halo,” says BuzzFeed cofounder Jonah Peretti. “That’s a cynic’s way of thinking.” Jeff Greenspan, the company’s new chief creative officer, who had previously held posts at Facebook at ad agency BBDO, agrees that everything at BuzzFeed is a team effort. “Not everyone has the maker or creator title,” Greenspan says, “But everyone feels like they’re behind the same purpose.” … [Read more...] about 19 Photos Of BuzzFeed’s Offices And 4 Things That Drive BuzzFeed’s Culture Of Win

I first met Doorstep’s founder, Michele Serro, about seven years ago during a partnership project with IDEO, and I came to really appreciate her genuine, empathetic approach to problem solving. Michele recently explained that she doesn’t “want a world where people lose their homes to foreclosure. Or, on the flip side, who don’t even consider buying a home in their lifetime because they have the wrong information.” Michele doesn’t want home buyers to be filled with stress, confusion and ultimately regret. She wants to make the experience what it should be: wonderful. … [Read more...] about Meet Doorsteps, The Company That Wants To Take The Misery Out Of Home Buying
