Paralympians are finally getting live primetime coverage this year. So we showed what happens when they get the platform they deserve, and inevitably become icons of pop-culture. Fun work for a great client, and a huge personal highlight to have @QOTSA join the campaign.

If you watched the Mars landing today, the voice you heard was @DrSwatiMohan. She immigrated to the US from India at age 1, was inspired by Star Trek at 9, then earned a B.S from Cornell in mechanical and aerospace engineering, and an M.S. and Ph.D from MIT in aeronautics.

So much demand for small businesses located in neighbourhoods. Would love to see an expansion of zoning to permit them much more widely as part of covid recovery measures.

Stay home. That's it. That's the tweet.
Canada at our best.
Thank you, Elliot, for sharing these words and speaking your truth. Your bravery and strength are inspiring, and your authenticity and vulnerability will mean so much to so many. Sophie and I wish you the very best, and we send you - and the trans community - all our support.

The power of a brand/behaviour shift.
91% of traffic to Airbnb is organic/unpaid, it says, which is mindbogglng and testament to the power of its brand it has built. "Airbnb" is now synonymous with "not-a-hotel". #AirbnbIPO
