Now Direction

This came over the twitternet: Crispin Porter + Bogusky | Advertising & Design Factory [BETA]. There goes the neighborhood.

We like sharing. If we wanted to keep things to ourselves, we wouldn’t have built a site that shows you the nasty things people say about us alongside all the nice stuff. In fact, we like sharing so much we’re even going to share this site with you by making Nude, the code behind cpbgroup.com, open source. We’ll be releasing it soon so check back often. And then do with it what you like. Build a website for yourself. Add a module to your existing site. Or, if you’re into sharing too, maybe you want to develop a new module for our site. We can’t promise we’ll use it. But if it’s amazing, we promise we’ll be amazed. Because besides sharing, we also like really smart people.
