Singing the Praises of Suriname
For the last few years we’ve produced corporate materials for Staatsolie, the state oil company of Suriname. It’s given us the opportunity to learn about this fascinating country, the smallest in South America, which is 93% covered in pristine jungle, perhaps one of the world’s great treasures.

We’re Ready to Go
With vaccines rolling out and recent downward trends in known COVID cases, our thoughts turn to one of the things we miss most: travel. Over the years we’ve worked with destination spas (pictured above, Lake Austin Spa Resort, a 20-year client), airlines, travel technology sites, travel agents and networks, and other travel and hospitality businesses.…

X-Man
We recently custom-built a website for Fifer Custom Homes, a premier DFW homebuilder. The SP craftspeople behind the site’s design, programming and writing are Brett, Arif and Michael. The craftsperson behind Fifer Custom Homes is Christman Fifer. With a name like Christman, it makes sense he became a carpenter. But before that he brought his…

Sustaining Relationships
BNSF Railway was recently featured on FortWorthBusiness.com for its collaboration with Wabtec in testing battery-electric locomotives. These next generation locomotives hold the promise of further reducing the environmental impact of shipping by rail, which is already more environmentally friendly than over-the-road transport. When we think of BNSF and sustainability, we also think of the 15+ year relationship…

YIKEA! The IKEA Catalog’s Demise
An article published at the end of last year in The Wall Street Journal is fascinating, even though what it is telling us is what we already know: Printed work is falling off a cliff. The IKEA Catalog, which was printed annually for over 70 years and distributed at its peak to 200 million people,…
