In any market across the world, Sukle Advertising + Design would be considered a serious force to be reckoned with. The very term itself, “force,” probably brings to mind a shop filled with hundreds of people, owned by a massive holding company with a client roster of household brand names. Sukle Advertising + Design, and its creative director who incidentally shares the same name, is a different type of force entirely. One that is lean, mighty and [Read More]

Dear Mr. Bezos,
Let’s talk about Denver for a few minutes. We know you probably earn about $1 million in that time, but hey, you’re earning it whether you read this or stare at a blank wall. Some may say the latter is preferable, but you don’t become a billionaire by staring at walls.
You and your top-level executives are looking at places to build your second headquarters. Well, second, for now. We all know this new campus will become your main building, and that’s wh[Read More]

I’ll admit, I have not been a life-long reader of The Denver Egotist. I was introduced to it about a year ago, and not unlike Victor “I was so impressed, I bought the company” Kiam, I wanted to be a part of it. Now, I am, under the writing name of Felix (after The Odd Couple’s Felix Unger…F.U.).
Yes, we’re anonymous here at The Denver Egotist. Some say the reason is that we’re a group of has-beens. Others say we’re just a bunch of arrogant pussies who wouldn’t dar[Read More]

by / August 8, 2010 / When Mikhail Gorbachev set the policies in motion that eventually ended the oppressive reign of communism, the citizens of Russia didn't know what to do with their newfound freedom. As a result, the new government that emerged has been able to maintain a large degree of state control over the personal liberties of the average citizen. The internet is a lot like Perestroika; it's a huge opportunity for us to establish freedom. From reading the comments on this site, it seems a lot of people wa[Read More]

A lot of agencies claim their culture is what makes them unique. Cactus doesn’t need to claim anything. It has quietly, humbly and quickly become one of those places where the top talent in Colorado just wants to be. They come for the clients. They come for the opportunities. And they come for Norm Shearer, Cactus’ Creative Director, who motivates them by simply staying out of their way. As 2008 begins, Norm Shearer tells us about the past, present and future of his company.

Three years ago I was working from home as a freelancer, I was busy as could be working away. One night after a rather long coding session I sat back and was checking out twitter. It was about 2am and as I was catching up with my feed I had a realization.
I know all of these people, but do I actually know them?
It hit me. I am part of a community of designers and developers, who I follow around the web, places like Stackoverflow, Github, Twitter and elsewhere, but I d[Read More]
