We’re so proud to announce that Fast Company has named Noah one of the 100 most creative people in business. THEY ARE SO RIGHT.

But that’s not all! we’ve got some sweet press hits over the last week. Here’s a quick round up:

- Rick has kicked off a sweet recurring column for Boards magazine. Up first is his Credit and its Gravity-Defying Properties piece.

- Adweek’s Brian Morrissey spoke with Rick about the good old production company / ad agency debate in his article, Digital Shops Caught in Transition.

- Colin Nagy mentioned our awesome GE Adventure project in his Social Media Free-for-All column in adweek.

- And the latest installment of Benjamin’s articles, The Scale of Social Media, is up online.

Enjoy!

happy monday everyone!

here are two recent pieces featuring GEAdventure/TBG from industry magazines creativity and adweek.

the creativity article is a great interview with benjamin and noah.

brian morrissey’s adweek article looks at the uptick in digital shops’ creating for their clients lower-cost blog platforms, etc. vs. costlier, more traditional sites. the piece has already generated some interesting discussion in the comments section this morning.

awesome!

the barbarian group has been named #29 on fast company’s list of “the world’s 50 most innovative companies.” additionally, we’re #3 on their top 10 list of the most innovative companies in advertising & marketing!

we’re delighted to be included on these lists, and we just love their description of us:

...team of 80 programmers, developers, information architects, and motion-graphics artists who combine the experimental zeal of an MIT lab with the fine-arts mastery of a RISD.

awesome.

benjamin, rick, bruce, keith and robert have been honored as part of this year’s creativity 50!

from creativity: As always, our intention is to stock this list with those people who made a significant mark on the creative consciousness of our industry and our culture as a whole. They are ad creatives, filmmakers, image makers, artists, game and tech pioneers, and others who just made us think differently about some established way of doing things.

the issue is on newsstands now, and you can read the piece online here.

awesome.
