Charcuterie Food Gifts are Having A Moment
I've been helping clients tell their brand stories and build emotional brand connections for 25 years now. But in all those years, I've never seen the popularity of savory food gifts accented with custom-etched cutting boards as high as it is right now.
Details Matter at Magic Kingdom
My big business takeaway? Details matter. For example, this is a picture of the cement path in the line leading into Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid. Disney could have easily just created a smooth winding pavement.

Growing up I was a huge fan of the Canadian-progressive-rock trio, Rush Oh, the guitars, the synthesizers, the lyrics, the drums (RIP, Neal Peart)!

Hey, I made a Top 10 list!
The Advertising Specialty Institute recently released its Top 10 Feature Stories of 2021. Number 9 on the list was “Deciphering the Complex Puzzle of Fulfillment”.
One of Printable's major business pivots during the pandemic was to offer fulfillment and home delivery services to our clients.
One of these things is not like the other…

Screenless Communication in 2022
Back in December, while the Printable team was gathered in Chicago, we went to see The Office Experience exhibit, where the world of the TV Show, The Office comes to life.
Dwight's computer screen was staged like the episode where Jim tries to convince Dwight that the Dunder Mifflin server is auto messaging Dwight:
“I think I am programmed to be your enemy. I think it is my job to destroy you when it comes to selling paper”.
Dwight replies: “How do I know this isn’t Jim”?
