BB Bulletin: August Rewind

To our BB community,

Somehow, some way, we've managed to make it to the end of a most unusual summer. We hope you're all safe, healthy, and finding moments of resolve and respite despite the uncertainty and turbulence around us. We've been keeping busy too, and are grateful to our current clients for keeping us on our creative toes. While we certainly miss the days of connecting with each other IRL, we're finding other ways to connect and discover inspiration, from launching our new "Future Of..." series, to reading and learning about pandemic-inspired innovations around the world. Here's to hoping we get to travel and experience these innovations for ourselves sooner than later! Until then, we hope you continue to be well, and to find ways to make your everyday remarkably hospitable.

LOOKING AHEAD

The world around us is constantly changing, with paradigm shifts happening daily. As a team of strategists, thinkers, and dreamers, our natural instinct is to pose questions and problem-solve answers. We've captured our theorizing about this time of vast transformation, and its potential long-term effects, on our Intel page in a series called "The Future Of..." We look at a variety of places and spaces, hypothesizing, strategizing, conjecturing, on just what our brave new world might have in store.
