Corduroy Media

Sometimes a little Bromance is all it takes! As a lifelong content creator and filmmaker there are always those projects that stick out in my mind as personal or professional "wins". They are not always the largest projects, or the most complex. Often times they are small projects with a lot of heart that have captured a unique moment in time. In this case one of my favorite projects in recent memory is also one that has been a big success for our clients Snowflake. Last week we were talking to our friends Maxine McGee and Paul Van Voorhis and my partner Sean Donnelly asked; "What has been the most successful project working with Corduroy Media over the last 5yrs?" The answer was unanimous "Bro-Mance". This little video affectionately called "Bro-Mance" tells the tail of Benoît Dageville and Thierry Cruanes coming together with their love of data to start Snowflake. From what I understand, it is still shown at new-hire orientation almost 5yrs after we delivered it. That is some shelf life. Forever grateful to all of our clients for the opportunities to practice our craft and create - thank you Maxine McGee and Heather M. for introducing us to all our friends at Snowflake!

Working in Higher Education is one of our most gratifying verticals. It is with clients like Santa Clara University that we hope our work truly makes an impact on the next generation!

Each time we are introduced to a new prospective client we have an opportunity to continue to refine and develop the way that we communicate our process, value and differentiation. In a recent RFP, our Executive Creative Director Sean Donnelly did a fantastic job at communicating this in a visual way... It is always a challenge, in an initial RFP response, without the opportunity to pitch, to communicate the nuance of our approach and process. Take a peek - we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. #growthmindset #creativeagency #RFP #pitch

Love watching the team explore new tools and how they support creativity! At the end of the day, it's not the tools that make work great - it's the creative humans behind those tools!

Thanks Sean Donnelly - this is a good reminder why our tagline "make em' feel something" is important. Without some type of emotional investment how do we expect to compel our audience to take action - it is only through that action that media has true impact, on individuals and society at large.

Wow - I can’t believe it’s almost April. What a year already. Sometimes we are moving fast but we wanted to make sure to highlight one of our favorite projects from late 2023. Thank you so much Maxine McGee. You and Heather M. and the rest of the Snowflakes always make it easy to create something special. It all starts with a terrific client creative brief and then the trust to allow our team to help guide the process. Yaahhhh!!!! 🧨❤️🎉
