The Creative Bar

Tomorrow is World Down Syndrome Day, and yes, we're hoping you noticed our socks. The mismatched pairs are a small tradition with a meaningful message. They celebrate differences and remind us that inclusion is something you practice every day. For us, it's personal. Ethan is a valued part of our team. He's quick with a fist bump, always ready for a laugh, and somehow manages to bring a little more energy into every room he walks into. Our team is better because he's part of it.

No decks. No deadlines. Just pints with the team. 🍻 Good laughs, better company, and just enough “work talk” to keep it on brand. Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🍀

This month (and every month), we are celebrating the amazing women of The Creative Bar. Their contributions cannot be understated. For the last 17 years, The Creative Bar has been molded and shaped by each of the women who have worked here, and we wouldn’t have seen the success over the years without them all.

When the Super Bowl came to San Francisco, Cutwater Spirits wanted a display that captured the energy of the moment and the spirit of the city.

Our team brought it to life by pairing Cutwater’s bold brand presence with the iconic San Francisco trolley. From the initial sketch to detailed 3D modeling, precision 3D printing, and hand-painted finishes, every step was thoughtfully brought together to create an eye-catching display built to turn heads.

Several of these displays were installed throughout San Francisco, extending the impact across the city and meeting fans right in the middle of the action.

A full concept-to-completion build designed to stand out on game day and well beyond it.

From sketch to shoot to Super Bowl sweepstakes.

What began as a concept moved into production and is now powering a Stella Artois Super Bowl sweepstakes. Built with intention from the start, the image was crafted to live beyond a single moment.

We were proud to be part of the action at Anheuser-Busch’s SAMCOM 2026, where the upcoming year’s boldest ideas and biggest moments took the spotlight. It was a thrill to see so much of our work featured throughout the event, from Estrella Jalisco and Kona Big Wave to NÜTRL Vodka Seltzer and Stella Artois.

Huge cheers to the teams bringing these visions to life. We can’t wait to watch it all hit the market as 2026 rolls out.

A little look into the holidays at HQ, equal parts merry, bright, and mildly competitive (yes, the white elephant gift exchange got heated). 🎄✨

From decor days to gift swaps, we made the season extra because around here, holiday spirit is basically a team sport.

Stranger Things doesn’t just deliver on thrills. It also taps into timeless archetypes that brands use to connect, resonate, and inspire.

Eleven is the Hero, defined by transformation, resilience, and the drive to rise above fear. Hopper is the Guardian, rooted in loyalty, protection, and unwavering strength. These same qualities shape Hero and Guardian brands, which either lead with bold purpose or provide comfort and security when it matters most.
