What's Up: August 2011

It's that time of the month again. Each month, the BIG team meets over lunch and brings two items that inspire them or simply grabbed their attention. Check back each month for 3 new items, you can also visit our Facebook album to view past What's Up meetings.
This month, we had a theme of vintage packaging and shoes. Looks like we share some common interests around the office!

If you know Chava, you know that he loves shoes! We're pretty sure he could go months without wearing the same pair of shoes twice. He brought in these UK Nike shoes to share the unique design.




Marit brought in this package from Toms to show how the company gets their buyer involved in social media. With each sale comes with a sticker and a flag for the new-shoe-wearer to place where they please and share on Facebook or Twitter with an assigned hashtag.



Marit took us back to the 80's with this can of shoulder pads. The color, type and illustration are a definite sign of the times!


John experienced a time warp when he reached into the back of his dresser drawer and pulled out a new-old pair of socks, complete with this great hang tag.


Barb was in line at the grocery store and scouted out this new product from Mentos. Apparently the "fresh maker" is now making gum. It's different, because they offer the consumer two flavors in one package. Each one opens to reveal a thought provoking quote.



Stay tuned for What's Up in September!
