Lots of New News

Plenty of activity this Winter and Spring. Here are some highlights:
- We launched Bon Ami’s new brand in February, and it has already garnered great coverage in Communication Arts and Felt & Wire. Check out the forthcoming April issue of Applied Arts Magazine from Canada for another nice Bon Ami profile.
- Celery celebrated the arrival of California’s early Spring with a nice gathering at The Plant in San Francisco. It’s a beautiful spot on the Bay with local, organic food prepared by our friend, Sascha Weiss.
- We have several upcoming lectures to announce - 4/19 University of Illinois, 6/2 HOW Conference in Denver, 10/7 Savannah College of Art and Design
- Watch this space for a flurry of new projects launching soon. We’ve been hard at work all Winter, and you’ll be able to see the fruits of those labors starting in mid-April. -

SUN RISES
9.18
Sun Microsystems, launched their latest Celery-designed CSR Report today. We got a nice shout out from Chief Sustainability Officer Dave Douglas in his launch announcement. The report is a performance-oriented infographic extravaganza. We decided to forego longer narratives in light of the pending merger with Oracle. Instead, we focused on the company’s progress toward goals across their key performance indicators. The result is a cool poster with all the KPIs on one side and supporting text on the back. Check it out!
