Coming up right around the corner is Idea Camp and though I can’t be there, you should consider it. This is a big turning point in the InvisiblePeople roadtrip…no literally, Mark will be turning around and making his way back to LA after speaking in DC. What a fitting stop on his tour, Idea Camp’s [...]
Please go watch this post at Church Marketing Sucks. This is a big reason I know we need to do what we do. Yes, much of our work is seen on Sunday morning but the focus doesn’t stop on Sunday. Take sermon branding and print design as two examples: Sermon branding is all about Sunday [...]
Interesting look at the Coke brand through the years. As I’ve been looking at my logo and considering a refresh, this gives me some good food, or I guess drink, for thought. UPDATE Very interesting comments on Twitter (which I thought I had a plugin that was supposed to add them here, hmmm) about this [...]
This post in the Church Marketing Lab reminded me of some very creative advertising located where else…the bathroom. A great example of looking at things from a different perspective.

I’m getting settled back into a normal routine after a great week at the HOW Design Conference. There is a ton to unpack from the sessions I was able to attend (not to mention unpacking all the swag.) But the top item on my to do list from the conference is something that wasn’t covered [...]
Last year was a cakewalk at the HOW Design & Creativity Conference’s closing party, the theme: black and white. Easy theme and an excuse to wear my Converse black & whites. This year, not so easy. Let me back up a bit for those that haven’t attended the HOW Conference before (and it’s still not [...]
After ignoring it for far too long (just like I tell every church NOT to do) we have finally updated the look, the software and the location of the blog. Of course if you’re reading this you don’t need to change a thing. We will keep holycowablog.com and .org, but the actual blog is now [...]
With a name like Holy Cow Creative it’s probably no surprise that I like to make people smile…and in this clip Don Norman talks about the power that happiness brings to design. Surround yourself with happy when you’re brainstorming…surround people with happy when they experience your design.
