Nice work, as always, from Cactus for the next evolution of their Own Your Own C campaign. This time working alongside Lifelong Friendship Society and Agencynet to create clever spots and a new website. Nice work, dudes! Below is a peek at their new campaign, see more videos at Changethethought™.

A great big thanks goes out to Ian Coyle and the MCA Denver for hosting the first of what we hope is many, Applied Ideas, talks on design. It’s really fantastic to see the Front Range design community coming together for the greater good. It was a real pleasure to have the opportunity to engage in a design-driven discussion with Chris Beatty of Cultivator, Norm Shearer of Cactus, and Ian Coyle of Superheroes – some of the top creative minds in Colorado. Thanks again.

We had a copy of The Onion laying around the office and we saw this ad on the back cover. This campaign is all over the place and we love it – so we decided to share it with all of you and give props to the Cactus and Chris Cox (their art director). Keep up the good work! Yo, if you’re not in the know, the star of the show in this piece is The 400’s very own Kris Fry.
