When people ask me what I do, I generally respond that I work in advertising. Sometimes I mention something about digital. And, if I’m brave, I’ll tell them I’m a *creative director*.

A few Struckers were in Austin for SXSWi a couple weeks ago. On the way to a party (apparently parties are things that happen in Austin… weird, right?), they stepped into an elevator and quickly noticed that a woman in the corner was wearing a pair of Google Glasses (Google Glass Glasses? Googlasses? Googli?). This [...]
After a couple years of sweet marital bliss, we’re pleased to announce that the StruckAxiom family has united under a single banner and a new URL. StruckAxiom is now simply known as Struck. May seem like an old name, but it’s new and fresh for all of us and we couldn’t be more (in the [...]

Last year, we introduced ourselves to the Rosey Awards (Portland’s marquee creative showcase) with a couple of nods for our work. This year, we took home some real hardware. The whole-agency collaboration on TCBY.com was recognized with a Rosey (only 14 were awarded this year) and we also picked up two (2!) Awards of Excellence [...]

The 2011 Webvisionary Awards boasted of a battle between epic robots and puny humans. Turns out both can live in harmony. The StruckAxiom Portland crew landed four Finalist nods (Chevy Truck Smack mobile app, Newcastle Brown Ale mobile/tablet sites, StruckAxiom.com redesign and BoostUp.org) and took home a robot for a win in the Greater Good [...]
