Reflecting our company motto of “Do Great Work That Works,” take our traditional company holiday card and turn it into something that’s both functional and emblematic of the type of work we do. Make it something that conveys our wishes of a happy holiday to our clients and partners while also creating something memorable and appropriate for the season’s time period.

As a company whose work has to live at the intersection of creativity and functionality, we aimed to create an ad-like card that would be unique, fun, and functional. So we took the opportunity to make a series of cut-out, foldable objects that drew inspiration from simple origami creations: a shot glass, a star, and a snowflake. Each would result in either something useful for the holidays or as a great family activity that plussed up the recipient’s home decorations. We then put together a video for each one detailing how to fold it all together.

We received so many kudos and kind words about our creations, making it clear that people loved something that really stood out from the usual deluge of holiday cards flooding their mailboxes. We have since began a project that will apply this technique to a series of functional company ads to further show off our creativity and ingenuity.
