The Mortar Foundation: Helping You Do That Voodoo That You Do.

Voodoo
Presenting The Mortar Foundation – the charitable arm of our humble agency.

The Foundation’s aim is to do good wherever we can, not by just handing out bundles of cash willy-nilly, but by maximizing the impact of the good works people like you do. On Friday, December 4, we’ll be up on the podium at Golden Gate University, handing out our first grants to three very worthy recipients: minority female students who work full-time and need a little help to complete their studies and earn their undergraduate degrees. Our funds not only help these hardworking students get ahead, they give us a chance to stay closely involved with one of our oldest and most loyal clients. It's a win-win-win-win-win situation, which has to be some kind of first.  Congratulations to the winners, and stay tuned for lots more good news about lots more good works. (Lord knows we’ve got enough to make up for.)

How To Win Christmas.

We wish we could hate Walmart’s Xmas efforts, but we don’t. 
They tug at your heartstrings…

…while gently massaging your wallet.

OK so those don’t suck, and we’re sure their audience likes them just fine.
But we don’t do “just fine.” We do “love beyond reason.”
And you know what we love beyond reason?
Target’s Christmas campaign, starring the amazing Maria Bamford.

Evil sister promotes the good ol’ doorbuster while making us laugh.

Cool sister promotes Target as a place that’s worth spazzing out over…while letting us know we don't have to spaz. What is that weird feeling coming over us? Do we…actually want to shop at a big-box store? Nice work, Target.

Collect the whole set!
