This post was originally published on Appear Here’s blog, written by Tanner Celestin. Below is the reblog of takeaways from the Underground Session’s panel. It’s official: day-to-day activism has spilled into the streets, onto our newsfeeds, and out of our wallets. Due to our current political and environmental climate, customers are demanding higher standards for the cost of their patronage. While this trend of ethics in the marketplace has yielded a greater supply of organic products, it’s also created and …
So often we find ourselves talking about “virtual reality” – to friends, family, clients, and co-workers. We’ve all shared our personal experiences from activations at SXSW or other branded experiences, but when met with the question “What is Virtual Reality exactly?” it can be hard to answer confidently. So why is virtual reality such a buzzworthy topic? We went to VR WORLD, a Virtual Reality Center located on 34th in Midtown Manhattan to find out: Cassie Lavo, the Director of …

I logged out of all my accounts and deleted the apps from my phone. For the most part I didn’t read any digital news …
In the ad world, we find ourselves asking versions of the same question: What is it that millennials truly want? Millennials yearn for authenticity, but what’s so authentic about wanting to be authentic? Tactics used to capture the millennial esprit, but failed us endlessly: Replace salutations in our email with captivating emoji sequences (the more avocado emojis, the better. Are we ever gonna get an #avotoast email or what? ha. ha. ha.) Sprinkle the word ‘millennial’ throughout our feeds to rev …
Long gone are the days of outdated and culturally inept advertisements plastered on the insides of subway cars (sorry, Dr. Zimor.) In the past year or so, brands have upped the ante with their campaign strategies, presenting commuters with smart, funny and memorable visuals and slogans, enhancing the sometimes dreadful commuting experience. To capture the wandering eye in this city of emphatic underground performances, fast-paced pedestrians, wide-eyed tourists, acute smells and more, brands must prioritize creativity and impact in advertising …

We just finished production for the Lokai #ChooseToChange campaign with our agency friends, RXM; we’re helping to launch a new brand in March; and our partnership with The Founder Institute is off to an incredible start. We’re a small but mighty cohort here at Kworq, but when crazy deadlines and expectations become routine, reality beckons the question: how do we manage our client and work expectations while remaining sane …
