Most ad execs in @thedrummag talked about Al, Taylor Swift, or Cannes this week. I chose to write about the humble yellow grit bin.

In an industry full of templated visuals and Al polish, that clunky, bright yellow plastic box sits on a freezing street corner with an undeniable โ€œfuck youโ€ confidence. It does not try to be anything more than what it is, yet it brings a flash of unexpected joy to a miserable winter morning.

Thatโ€™s the heart of our philosophy at @studioblackburn: Workplay.

Even the most functional brand challenge deserves a moment of creative joy. Read our full feature in The Drum via the link in bio.

The smartest sports teams arenโ€™t just competing for trophies. Theyโ€™re competing for culture.
From fashion collaborations to local storytelling, modern sports properties are realising that their biggest growth lies in building a brand beyond the game.

I caught up with Sports Business Journal to dive into why sports teams must look past the minutes on the pitch, court, course to build genuine lifestyle appeal and year-round fan engagement.

How do you see the balance shifting between matchday performance and long-term brand building?

Designing for the real world means making sure the brand identity can actually survive the environment it lives in. For Ellis Butchers, that meant skipping the typical look, giving a few meat cuts some legs, and popping them straight into a walk-in freezer.

Jarring, entirely human, and not taking itself too seriously.

Case study drops soon.

Design should make you feel something. Even if that feeling is a mild groan at a terrible pun.โ€‰

Our brand identity and animation work for Ellis Butchers. We mixed classic, elegant typography with a bit of raw, local humour to respect the craft but give it some life.โ€‰ Case study soon.

No corporate fluff allowed. Have a proper weekend, everyone.โ€‰

Work, Play, and everything in between.

On April 30th, @anothermarkjones is heading to the historic St Bride Foundation to represent Studio Blackburn for the latest @typocircle typocircle TypoCircle talk.

Design is rarely just about the finished product, itโ€™s about the tension between the work we do and the play that informs it. Mark will be sharing insights into our process, our projects, and the bits that donโ€™t always make it into the case study.

Tickets are live now on Eventbrite

I stumbled on this series of postcards that I did back in 2017 when Trump was first inaugurated and feel theyโ€™ve become even more relevant this second term
