Sao Bento, I believe that Psyop passed that R&D phase you talk about a long time ago; though judging by their work it seems to be an ongoing process side by side with the sales phase; after all that is a huge part of what makes their work stand out Marc B, I wasn´t aware you were present at the time the announcement was made to the artists…I wish you would give us a bit more insight on their reaction to this whole thing…

The employees won't benefit from this merger really. The partner$ will. It's funny how mr. Booth-Clyborn is saying the people were all excited about it. It's a big corp now. Disgusting.

Looks like there'll be a Psyop in Europe and the west coast by the end of the year in addition to the Israeli wing. BOOM! Sao_Bento says: “The company expands so rapidly that it loses it’s soul.”

I've worked at several startup companies that have gone from an R&D phase, to a sales phase, to publicly held companies and the same stuff always happens. The company expands so rapidly that it loses it's soul. The one thing I admire about Sagmeister is his resistance to that temptation. It's the point when you decide if you're in this business to do good work, or just to make money.
