When I joined Nice and Serious, out of twenty people I was one of four women. It seemed strange to me that an agency that’s so values driven in their work would have such a gender imbalance. After speaking to the team about it, I was told that we get so many more male applicants… Continue reading Nice and Equal

Eight Sensible Gifts
Cards Against Humanity loves the shock value. Their product is after all, a controversial card game, committing into words statements that are designed to offend. Its marketing stunts are no different.
