3… 2… 1… 🚀. We just launched the new korres.com. A site that’s as clean and simple as their products. We worked with Korres Athens to tell their seed to skin story, showcase their natural ingredients, and create a tailored shopping experience that helps you build your beauty regimen. Check it out (and maybe pick something up while you’re at it).
Always an amazing feeling. Thank you The Webby Awards for celebrating one of our most treasured partnerships. And thank you to our family, friends and followers for supporting everything we do. Here’s to many more Urby!

This is not your average 10-year-old party. This is how Kettle celebrates 10 years, with 10 surprises throughout the night. From a live marching band to Slack-enabled karaoke, we did that. And we're going to keep doing it for the next 10. #KettleTurns10

We are an independent digital agency building ambitious human-centric experiences.

What's changed? Today she leads our creative team on the West Coast with a focus on all things Apple. What hasn't changed? Her love of karaoke, martial arts, and quality chocolate. Félicitations!
Here’s to the good kind of spins. #EarthDay
Thanks to FastCompany for featuring us as an agency pursuing "Inspiration in Action." We're always on the hunt for uncommon inspiration; it's why we hosted a "Digital in Drag" panel with Biblegirl666, Milk Queen, and Sasha Velour—three awe-inspiring Queens that gave us a new view on audience relationships, social authenticity, and original storytelling.
Our friends at New Museum are helping members of the arts community better understand workplace harassment + discrimination with a series of talks, happening March 12-13. Definitely worth checking out!

What a brilliant article. In a world of endless options, endless possibilities, has Instagram enhanced our neophobic tendencies?
In the age of Instagram, travel has become the pursuit not of a singular experience—but the same point of view.
Scientists are researching whether or not humans are actually prepared for learning we’re not alone in the universe. “I think we’re generally sort of positively predisposed to novelty, unless we have strong reason to suspect it could harm us."
Most Americans would probably be thrilled to learn extraterrestrials (intelligent or not) exist. Other nationalities beg to differ
According to the 2016 AIGA/Google Design Census, 73% of graphic designers are white, 8% are Asian, 7% are Hispanic, and 3% are African-American. That’s an improvement, but still doesn’t mirror the U.S. population.
Jacinda Walker, chair of AIGA’s Diversity & Inclusion Task Force, shares 10 things designers and managers can do to make the industry more diverse, from mentoring students to recruiting talent from job sites that cater to black and Hispanic workers.
Who saw Black Panther this long weekend? This New Yorker piece really nails why the movie is igniting a cultural movement of its own.
"With its vision of an unplundered homeland, blooming from liberty rather than from bondage, “Black Panther” is, in the fullest sense, an African-American work."
While fulfilling the dictates of the blockbuster genre, Ryan Coogler also displays his affinity for the rough textures of non-heroic experience.
"Deep learning #AI in computers resembles how scientists think the human brain works. The brain has 100 billion or so neurons. Researchers say connections among these neurons change as people learn a new task. Something similar is going on inside a computer."
Computers use artificial intelligence to do everything from drive cars to pick music we like. But what exactly is artificial intelligence? How does it work? What are its limits?
Artificial intelligence experts and roboticists aren’t the only ones working on the problem of autonomous vehicles.
Autonomous cars are a real-life enactment of a moral conundrum known as the Trolley Problem.
A New York Times analysis of Spotify data suggests that the music soundtrack to our teen years is what sets our taste as adults. Makes sense why there's so much Third Eye Blind played in the office.
Data drawn from Spotify listeners reveal that we are all teenagers in love.
In the past, if you wanted to change the world, you had to pass a law or start a war. Now you create a hashtag. Ethan Zuckerman, a professor at MIT, studies how people change the world, or attempt to, by using social media or other technological means. Zuckerman knows what it’s like to build technology that pisses a lot of people off. Back in the 1990s, he created what became one of the most hated objects on the internet: the pop-up ad.
Ethan Zuckerman on fighting social media’s echo chamber.
Great read detailing why we need moral examples of people who can admit when they’re wrong — and scientists do it well.
Right now society has an epidemic of the opposite: too many people with a bulldog unwillingness to admit when they’re factually wrong.
According to this interactive New York Times story, the thing you're doing now, reading these words on a screen, is going out of fashion.
The internet was born in text. Now, video and audio are ascendant, writing is being left behind, and everything will be different.
People who manage to get a lot accomplished each day aren't superhuman; they've just mastered a few simple habits. An oldie but goodie from the Fast Company archives.
From decluttering your desk to letting yourself complain, these 15 easy behavior changes can change how much you accomplish each day.
Fascinating. For printer engineers, solving paper jams is “the ultimate challenge,” combining physics, chemistry, and programming.
A trivial problem reveals the limits of technology.
A review of Nusr-Et Steakhouse – where the real-life Salt Bae experience turns out to be uncannily like the meme.
The viral sensation arrives in New York and sprinkles some digital fairy dust on our critic’s Instagram feed.
Interesting personal account of fake fans from follower factories in The Atlantic.
“The problem with Twitter — and with social media in general — isn’t that the influence can be faked. It’s that it is seen to have so much significance in the first place.”
A New York Times exposé of a “black market” for online fame diagnoses the symptom of social-media despair, but misses its cause.
For the first time in 152 years, a supermoon, blue moon, and total lunar eclipse will coincide.
This biggest skywatching event of 2018 (so far) has wrapped up and the rare Super Blue Blood Moon is now in the history books. The event, which was a very special combination of several not-so-rare…
Slack estimates that the average user sends 70 messages per day. How can you know which are must-reads and which can be skipped? Slack’s solution: artificial intelligence.
"One feature shows which people within a company talk about particular topics most often in Slack and where those discussions take place. The information, which appears when users conduct searches in Slack, is meant to pinpoint subject experts so people can direct questions to their most knowledgeable and accessible colleagues."
The fastest-growing business app is relying on machine-learning tricks to fend off a deluge of messages—as well as competition from Facebook and Microsoft.
Experimentation is an act of humility, an acknowledgment that there is simply no way of knowing without trying something different.
Most people make relatively few personal experiments, in both small and big things. The cost of passivity is enormous.
