Christmas is best spent with friends and family. Also, it’s a time to celebrate accomplishments. Ahem, chin up. With STATUS being monthly, the team took a welcome break to dress its nest. It’s one thing to be young and brill, but to actually go for miles and reach out to a milli and more ain’t a cinch. So ergo, c’mere to our humble abode you fiend, you friend. Every wise man knows each aircraft started with arts and crafts. Lesgo. We fly!

What We Celebrated: Power and creativity

There’s a game of thrones in the office and a winner is coming. (YOU BETTER VOTE ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE RIGHT NOW!) Yes, each department designed the office with animals, cookies, lights, and all sorts of knickknacks. We’re territorial because we love our space where our ideas come to life; but more than that, we like exercising our imaginations with our STATUS fam. We came to win.

What We Caroled:

“Wine and Chocolates” – Theophilus London: “It’s time to live it up, oh. You get sent the fine wine deliverables and chocolate candles.”

“Mr. General” – Archeo: “So take your weapons and step to the left… No more living my life pretending I’m not the best.”

“This Must be the Place” – Talking Heads: That moment when Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) admires the Manhattan skyline from his high-rise flat after closing deals for Gordon Gekko, this song plays. #WallStreet

What We Wish:

Everybody loves a winner–someone who lives only in his own terms; because you know what, the world is indifferent. I’m kidding, of course. But really, sometimes, you just got to let go and live in amazement of yourself and what you can do. We hope to spend more  time doing  what we love and build a community with like-minded people. We want to grow with our audience. We believe the best salesmanship involves selling with soul, not selling the soul. So yeah, more hugs and kissass from me to you.

WTF Moment:

So this is our version of a rags to riches tale.  The editorial team had to scrap two design concepts because of miserable executions. The first one was a boho pillow fort turned garbage land aka Smokey Mountain. The second concept was a Victoria’s Secret Christmas turned cheap-salon-slash-Beckylandia. Convoluted concepts made some editors lose their marbles. We had to start from scratch and go back to what made Christmas meaningful–home, hence the happy house idea.—TINDABS
