Cross Promotion or Marketing Mutualism?
By MODintelechy / Blog
“Is this an ad for headphones?” “Who’s the guy with the beard?” “Wow this is long.” “Oh it’s definitely an ad for headphones.” “Maybe speakers?” “Ohhhhhh.” This was my chain of thought as I watched the mac daddy of all cross promotion that was Jay Z’s Samsung Galaxy commercial which aired during game 5 of…

A Toast to MOD
By MODintelechy / Agency Culture
Much like grains of sand slipping hastily through an hourglass, so too did A Toast to MOD come and go all too quickly. Okay, so that was a hair dramatic but we had such a fantastic time at our 5 year anniversary party last month that we wish it never had to end. Thank you…

Holding it all together
By MODintelechy / Agency Culture
Backpacks are somewhat of an obsession for me. I can never seem to find that perfectly cool combo that holds all my gear yet looks streamlined and a little rugged. I’m not going to say this limited edition from Mission Workshop is perfect, but it’s definitely close. I love the utilitarian feel of the clasps…

By Bianca Krause / Agency Culture
I do not wait in lines – unless those lines lead to Margiela. When I arrived at the Nov 20 H&M launch party, the line to get in was wrapped around two blocks. Now, I’ve been ecstatic for H&M to open in Austin, but in all honesty, I only RSVP’d to the launch party to…
