FinTech is a recent buzzword for a wave of technological innovations that are disrupting and challenging not only financial services but the business sector in general. Here we provide a simple explanation of what FinTech is and what everyone should know.
Challenger banks are big in the U.K., but haven't caught on in the U.S., where startups are mostly around payments, investing and lending – anything that doesn't require opening a bank account.
Digital banks, however, need to create a stronger value proposition that will actually motivate customers to break a habit or create a new one and store larger volumes of their money with them – especially with legacy banks partnering more closely with startups and acquiring their services.

FORMULA 1 PIT STOPS: 1950 VS. TODAY
A Formula 1 pit stop in the 1950s took about a minute (this one was like 65 seconds). We can’t even figure out how to get the spare tire out of our car, let alone on, in that amount of time. It’s impressive, but nothing compared to a modern Formula 1 pit stop. Don’t blink. You might miss it.
Good friends get YOU a beer as well.Â

"We can learn a lot from people just by seeing how they've chosen to dress each day."
Great quote and video from Richard Banfield of @freshtilledsoil via dresscodeboston.  I gotta say, I wholeheartedly agree.  It's time for more people to start putting a little more effort into what they wear at the office ... especially in the advertising and digital world. Â
I had the pleasure meeting Richard a couple of weeks back when he swung through Vancouver and interviewed me about digital product and design leadership.  I'm looking forward to his upcoming book and video series.

Ads ideas aren't just for building awareness or brand anymore - ads can also act as direct sales channels as well. Check out this idea with Sony selling water proof devices in water bottles.
This is super fun. The circle board, a crazy idea.
