Marlin is extremely excited and proud to introduce Jared Tomlinson as our newest Marlin hire. Jared demonstrated stellar abilities as a design intern, not to mention a fantastic spirit and an obsession with The Beatles that borders on prosecutable.
Jared joins us as Designer now, capital D. And we couldn’t be happier to have him aboard.
Actually, now that we think about it, we aren’t minus one intern, since we’re lucky enough to have Trevor Gies in our midst. In addition to practicing the art of the thoughtful meeting pose (see below), Trevor is also our latest Account Service Intern. Welcome, Trevor!
“Interesting. Verrrrrry interesting. Whatever you just said.”
In the interest of buzzing up the buzz (buzzily!), many advertisers are either pre-releasing spots or, as with VW and Bridgestone, releasing teasers spots online to get interest up without losing the oomph of a Super Bowl unveiling.
True, it’s one more instablog full of snark, lobbing easy shots at affluent American culture from the anonymous back row of the classroom. Derivative of this and this and so many other adroit expressions of smartassery.

We’re busy as hell here, shooting down the final stretch of pipeline toward the holidays (and yes, we’re apparently even too busy to come up with coherent metaphors), but just saw this post on The Denver Egotist on CP+B’s retooling of the flailing Domino’s brand and wanted to link it up.
We liked what happened recently with “You Got 30 Minutes” and like this back-to-roots push even more, retooling what was essentially a delivery brand into an actual food brand. Smart stuff.
Today was Bring Your Pooch to Work Day here at Marlin, and the halls resounded with furry, four-legged fury. (Today’s post is brought to you by the letter F!) Thanks to everyone who brought in their tail-waggin’ pals. Can’t wait to do it again. Pics after the jump.
Not sure if these guys are making a statement about the secularization of Christmas, or are just asking for neighborhood thugs to return their stolen holy infant. Either way works.
My money’s on the former, but the writer in me wants so badly for the narrative of the latter. Teenage rapscallions with bad skin, giggling as they abscond with the injection-molded baby Jesus. Making admirable field goals with it around midnight on a frosty high school football field. Keep reading →
This is a great drink, made the right way, and it’s destined for good stuff in the coming year. We’re ecstatic to be working for and with the bright, passionate people behind it. More pics after the jump.
It's coined from a mishearing of the Marlin agency phrase "Non-Joiner." We figured it was a pretty good name for a blog that features everything we do to not be like everyone else.
