Profile: David CarusoOctober 20, 2008 Creatively speaking, says David Caruso, he's not much of an artist. In fact, he says, he can barely "draw a stick figure." But he does know artistic talent when he sees it, as well as how to surround himself with creative types who help inspire him to craft interesting ideas -- skills that serve him well in his role as co-founder and president of Acme Brand Content Co.

Profile: Doug JaegerOctober 13, 2008 NEW YORK Clocks fill a wall of the downtown New York design and branding shop thehappycorp global. A Homer Simpson clock, a kitschy cat-clock with moving eyes and tail and a Salvador Dali-style timepiece -- its features "melted" out of shape -- are part of the collection. "I'm really obsessed with time and the design of time," explains CEO and creative director Doug Jaeger when asked about the "33" tattoo still flaking on his forearm. The body art was a gift from his girlfriend and commemorates his recent 33rd birthday. (And he got the ink at precisely 3:33.) Read Full Article

Profile: David ShaneSeptember 22, 2008 Having directed the Creative Arts Emmy-winning "Swear Jar" Bud Light spot for DDB Chicago -- where the promise of a Bud Light elicits an office eruption of vulgarity -- David Shane suggests a home version could collect some serious bucks. His kids, emulating their dad and other Brooklynites where they live, would be heavy contributors. The director recalls when his daughter was 6, she blurted, "Jesus f***ing Christ!"
