Duke Creative Collective
87 Canterbury Street, Black Doors E2L 2C7 Saint John, NB, Canada

Oh, hello! Hey, ICYMI, we rebranded after 10 years in the biz, at the end of a pure sh*t show of a year. We'll be posting our pandemic business survival story later this month. In the meantime, here are some of the projects we are most proud of. We're looking forward to the next 10.

These logos are the tip of the iceberg that is your brand identity. At Duke our brand work is a true fusion of art and strategy. From concept development to deployment and management, we will help you and your team create and grow a meaningful brand that will have a powerful and positive influence over the people who matter most to your business.

This is Duke... is a short phrase we've used for 10 years to say a whole lot. It's an introduction, a welcome, and a journey. Our work is disruptive, human and above all: memorable. That’s because we’re original thinkers - inventors, questioners, energizers, and all-round idea machines with an unquenchable desire to make things happen.... We know positive change doesn’t happen easily. That’s why we orchestrate bold moves and disruptive solutions that create the change our clients need. That’s original thinking - and it makes us the kind of partners people love to have with them on the road to destination next.

Happy holidays to all and here's to a fresh start in 2021! Grab a hot beverage, put your feet up, and check out our year in review message: https://mailchi.mp/thisisduke/yearend2020-5112601 We look forward to chatting in 2021.

Building our community is the big picture behind all that we do. From strengthening our clients' businesses, to building an exceptional roster of partners, to creating jobs, to giving back...it all adds up in a very positive way. We foster a workplace culture that is flexible, safe, educational and fun - because we know it is the fuel a team needs to make brave choices, include diverse opinions, and seek out ways to bring people closer together. We seek out excep...tional creative talent, invest in skill building for our team members, create a safe place where sharing flourishes, take the time to capture and explore ideas, and invest the dividends of that approach into our work.

We are honoured to have won the Silver and Bronze Summit International Awards for our work on the Base Camp Saint Awesome and Forge Ahead Atlantic campaigns!

Today on the Original Thinking blog we're throwing back to 2019 when we went and visited actual people, to reshare Katie's chat about the benefits of crazy ideas, marketing and brand building with Greg and Dave at The Boiling Point podcast! https://www.thisisduke.com/thoughts/boiling-point

Duke is pleased to welcome its newest addition! In Christianne's words: "I'll get better at foam" #goals

This guy is worth the watch. So inspiring. Masks up, motherf*ckers. https://www.adobe.com//what-ive-learned-since-march-15-cha

Creative types: are you watching Adobe Max? https://www.adobe.com/max.html 10 days of FREE content about software (of course) but also art, business and creativity. Take advantage!!

What are we doing Friday October 30 at 3:30? Why, we're having a fireside chat with Gwyneth Paltrow, at www.c2montreal.com/ that's what. Here's a COVID pro-tip : VIRTUAL CONFERENCES ARE SUPER CHEAP. Check your dream (but didn't want to shell out the big bucks for) conference events and see if they're hosting virtual versions this year.

*immediately marks calendar* Fast Company has graced our coffee tables for many many years, and we are very pleased to be part of bringing her here (virtually) to talk to Atlantic Canadian businesses about developing a culture of innovation. Thanks to the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce for dreaming big for our region!

Blowin’ off some steam.

WHAT A DAY, PEOPLE!

We had some small visitors today!!! With Becky Mabee and Jill Edgecombe.

Love this coverage from the Telegram in St. John's about the regional tourism picture. Great interview with Paulette Hicks and shout outs for the Saint John Hotel Association's Base Camp Saint Awesome initiative and our Untappd badge for the Two Rivers Beer Route....sounds like a weekend activity to us!!

Marketing is not frivolous. It is a business strategy, and businesses need to value it as such. A dip in revenue is not the time to cut your marketing! Read Katie's commentary:

We are SO EXCITED to announce that Liz Martin has accepted the position of Director of Operations with us at Duke! She's a whiz at project management, is a self-proclaimed nerd and her laugh is contagious. Ready for you to whip us into shape, Liz! You can reach her at Liz AT thisisduke DOT com . .... . #agencylife #marketing #dirops #saintjohn #growsj #newhire See more

So pleased about this project - which would not have happened without the Rise Up SJ roundtable chats this Spring. The magic of collaboration is allowing us to make made-in-Saint John solutions that will make life better for restaurateurs province-wide. #win #saintawesome #economicdevelopment
