A pile of cash works to reduce errors.
This just in: we’re human. And as humans, we are subject to making mistakes. Sad, but true.
Fortunately, our team is very focused on ensuring errors in our client work are avoided at all costs…so they are rare occurrence. Still, they happen. And they are expensive in both profit lost and harm to client trust. Most [...]
New and improved employee manual.
Since the day we added our first employee, we thought it important to have an employee manual. To define and share our values, expectations and culture. Not to mention the nuts and bolts of insurance, PTO and the like.
This week we rolled out our latest iteration of the Rizen Creative Employee Manual in a new [...]
We don’t care what you say, velvet paintings are timeless.
Now this is beautiful. It’s a velvet painting that Ron won at our offices Christmas white elephant gift exchange. It now proudly graces the walls of our office.
We can’t make out the signature, so if you by chance know anything about the history of this classic, please share. So far we’ve traced it back to [...]
The fridge is stocked.
Unbelievably, some of our most popular posts in 2009 covered the trip to our restroom and our fridge. Knowing that, we thought we’d regale you with an update on the later.
Ready for this? It’s exactly the sorta thing that so-called “experts” tell you people don’t care about, yet statistics show otherwise. So here it is…our [...]
Welcome, Jason.
Drum roll, please…Jason Hamilton has joined Rizen Creative. His primary goal in life (here) is to serve, challenge, lead and listen to our clients — not necessarily in that order.
Jason’s been around the Valley for a long while now in positions on the media and agency sides of things. His bio reads like a personal [...]
Really?! A walk to the restroom, really?! Yes.
When we remodeled our space (it was a shell when we bought it) we had a big decision to make: include a restroom in our space or share the one in the hall. After much deliberation about the hassles of cleaning and stocking a restroom, we decided to share with the nice folks in BoDo.
It [...]
Rock star visits Rizen Creative.
His name is Sam. He is rad. He takes no guff from nobody…except maybe his mommy, Katie.
We at Rizen were fortunate to enjoy his presence in the office today as he rocked, read stories, and regaled us with tales of preschool misadventures.
See for yourself. This photo was taken during a live performance at our office. [...]
Perspective, Poetry, Post-Its.
Katie (S. not M., wait that doesn’t sound right) led this week’s team Lunch, Lounge andLearn.
Our activities centered around exploring perspective. Specifically, altering our own, then attempting to alter the perspective of others.
How? Two activities:
1) Re-purposed poetry: we each had to transform a piece of random w
riting (written by someone else) into our own poem [...]
Rizen Creative business card backs.
These are the backs of our business cards. Each tries to capture the underdog spirit in one way or another (one also does a good job of capturing the beauty of armpits).
Our building is hot, hot, hot.
It was on fire, actually. Seriously. The roof our building caught fire Saturday morning due to a faulty AC unit. It caused some serious damage to the 4th floor, some water damage to the 3rd floor, and we–on the 2nd floor, scraped by with just a few drops of water dripping through.
Thanks to the Boise [...]
