Office Art

Ins­pi­ring Surroun­dings make for Ins­pi­red Work.”

Done right, an ima­ge on a wall can teach, ins­pire, moti­vate and broad­cast your most impor­tant ideas and beliefs.

Done wrong, it’ll just dis­play pretty pic­tu­res that nobody cares about.

The deci­sion to clearly state what mat­ters for all to see, is not just a busi­ness deci­sion, it’s a moral decision.

You can be like nearly every other business, or you can step up, take a stand, and let ever­yone know what it is that your com­pany actually stands for.

It’s not about deco­ra­ting, it’s about beliefs.  It’s not about aesthe­tics, it’s about leadership.

And once you’ve taken that stand, the word spreads.

Once you’ve taken that stand, it will serve as a mag­net to attract like-minded cus­to­mers and emplo­yees, it will sort out the peo­ple who get it and the one’s who don’t.

At best, it will ins­pire your peo­ple to great­ness. At least, it will start A LOT of the right conversations.

Social Objects

Social Objects

our secret weapon

social-object

Want to get cus­to­mers tal­king about your pro­duct? You need to give them things to start con­ver­sa­tions. We make those ‘things’ and we call them Social Objects.

They are what peo­ple share online. They are what gene­rate word of mouth. They are the fuel of today’s social web. We create ima­ges that com­pel your audience to share and grow your awareness.

These ima­ges don’t just sit on walls or screens, they come alive evo­king emo­tion, rea­li­za­tion and con­nec­tion. They are sha­red, often fana­ti­cally so and are desig­ned to spread through social chan­nels. They let your fans tell your story, get­ting you noti­ced in a way that no other medium can.

Testimonials

His work acknowledges the absurdity of workaday life, while also encouraging employees to respond with passion, creativity, and non-conformity...   MacLeod’s work is undeniably an improvement over the office schlock of yore. At its best, it’s more honest, and more cognizant of the entrepreneurial psyche, while still retaining some idealism.

Last year my State of the College address was 76 slides loaded with data. This year it was 14 cartoons that were substantially more memorable.
