Ooma was an early VoIP product meant to replace the old-fashioned land line. This #FridayfromtheArchives is from 2009, we thought we’d bring Alexander Graham Bell back from the grave to give us his POV. When we did our research we were thrilled to find that he was actually Scottish, because that accent makes everything funnier.

After 14 years at HUb, Jason Rothman is venturing onward. Here's what HUb founder, DJ O'Neil, had to say: "When Jason Rothman joined Hub, none of us really imagined the impact he'd have on the place. Now, almost 14 years later, Jason is moving on to run a design firm in his new-ish home city of Philadelphia. I'll miss Jason's crazy design skills and creativity, his unrelenting passion for his craft and our business, his constant pushing to make himself and those around him better, and his always-present sense of humor. Best wishes, Mr. Rothman. You will be sorely missed. On the bright side, at least we have this video from way, way back in the day to keep a little slice of you around."

Even if you can't make it into the office, Stanford Children's Health - Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford offers virtual visits for all those times your kid has some... innovative quarantine adventures. No lollipops were harmed in the making of this spot.

Friday in the Archives reminding us of the good ‘ol days of carpooling to work. Back in 2009 we did a series of interviews with the Hub staff. We posted them on our website so prospective clients could get a glimpse of our culturelooking back it’s a wonder any of them hired us.

We're humbled and delighted to launch 4 new COGRID-19 grids. We’ve collaborated with 76 designers in Boston, Chicago, Kansas City & Minneapolis to create the latest works, you can check them and purchase a grid out at cogrid19.com. A massive thank you goes out to all the artists that donated their time and talents to make this happen. We believe these are a small reminder that fear and uncertainty can be harnessed to engender positivity, creativity and hope.

HUb Inside/Out. An external agency helping internal agencies be less dependent on external agencies? It’s not as weird as you think https://lnkd.in/dMBYuJ5

We're super excited to announce that Teresa Herd has joined Hub to start a new practice within the agency that focuses on helping internal creative agencies be their best. Teresa was most recently the VP/Global Creative Director at Intel, where she built Intel's internal creative agency from the ground up. Welcome, Teresa! Check out HUbInsideOut.com for more info.

Surprisingly enough, this wasn’t a commissioned project. A freelancer was inspired to do it and just went for it, with @guinness even sharing the work on social media after they saw how great it was. Damn, we wish we thought of this one. Credit: Luke O’Reilly

Bonus content: You’re on mute I think he dropped sorry my internet crapped out, all of which were heard on this morning’s Zoom. #OverheardAtHUb

No live action video shoots, no problem. A script brought to life with simple animation and VO can be a good answer. Tapping into remote talent across California, Philadelphia, Chicago and South Africa, we created this video for our HomeX client in less than 7 days.

We're digging into almost 20 years of work we've produced, and finding some fun stuff. Here's a spot from 2004 that we wrote for Expression College. It explores the perils of working in a career you hate. Stoke's McIntyre shot the spot on film--that's how old this is! #FromTheArchives

A couple of days ago, the world lost the amazing singer/songwriter John Prine. The night John died, our President Mike sat down at his keyboard and played his own version of Prine's "Angel from Montgomery". We all thought it was beautiful. And we're posting it because we think all of you could probably use a little extra dose of beauty in your lives right about now.

Even though it's perhaps the most unfunny April Fools Day we've ever had, a good chuckle could do us all some good. Here's some screenshots from last year’s video about a (fake) product launch from HUb. Link in bio to video : @oliver__hamilton @ HUb

Each holiday season, we make a donation to an organization we admire. This year we picked a group whose work couldn’t be more important: Rainforest Alliance. We’ve all seen the terrible news about the Amazon Rainforest burning (and now unfortunately Australia). Ofter referred to as the lungs of the world, the Amazon Rainforest plays a vital role in regulating climate change. Rainforest Alliance is on the front line, protecting rainforests through smart programs that engage local communities to help preserve these vital resources. In addition to the donation, we created a series of t-shirt designs for the alliance.

Welcome Chandler, our newest designer at HUb! As a young’in, she bypassed training wheels and rode a unicycle to elementary school (true story), so needless to say she fits right in.

Everyone has some vague memory of the The Guinness Book of World Records and we’re excited to now be a part of history with a fun one with @montereybayaquarium @ Guinness World Records
