Founded in 2005 by Joseph Brandt and Reservoir Capital, ContourGlobal has taken a highly strategic and aggressive approach to building an enterprise and a brand. Growing from startup to over $3 Billion in assets in less than ten years is no small feat and telling the right story along the way has been key.
Bureau Blank works with a number of clients, institutional and non-profit, for whom driving social change is a key objective. As these groups' constituencies and audiences spend increasing amounts of their time online, we've been asked to build a number of online communities to help facilitate several goals:
We worked with the team at Full Circle Home, a company that makes eco-friendly housewares, to create the packaging design for the Stick 'Em magnetic kitchen towel.
Bureau Blank has created a series of event collateral for The Museum of Chinese in America's (MOCA) Young Professionals Program.
If you're familiar with the display advertising industry (or any digital media companies for that matter) then you've probably seen LUMA Partners / Terry Kawaja's landscape slides. Look who's included in that little corner of the map called DMP's and Data Aggregators...
Bureau Blank has just completed our first foodie collaboration with famed Sichuan Restaurant Spicy & Tasty in Flushing Queens.
As a collaboration of 22 of the world's largest foundations and financial institutions, Living Cities thrives on communication. Over 80 of these organizations' senior staff members come together in working groups that set Living Cities' agenda and capture the intellectual capital it produces through its activities to improve the lives of low-income people and the urban areas in which they live.
Bureau Blank is proud to announce that we've been selected as an official vendor in Seedco Financial's Growth Opportunity Loans and Services (GOLS) program, which is funded by Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Small Businesses (10KSB) initiative.
Process is at the core of everything we do.
It’s what enables us to consistently deliver successful solutions and a great experience for your business:
Learn. We begin with learning because each client and challenge is unique. We use research and dialogue to build the context and insights we need to approach each project and then we build upon this foundation.
Define. The creative process begins with a clear strategy. We establish a consensus on goals and outcomes and define the directions in which we’ll pursue our solutions.
Design. This is how we synthesize inputs, context, challenges and constraints into a brand new product that didn’t exist at the beginning. Our design process is about solving problems and doing it elegantly and efficiently.
Build. Next we bring our ideas into the real world. We develop code to bring websites and applications to life, we deliver publications, signage and packaging and we manage quality to assure a consistent process and product, on time and on budget from beginning to end.
Measure. By defining goals and outcomes at the beginning we are able to measure them at the end. Whether through data and analytics or qualitative analysis we strive to deliver definitive results.
