The Gig Economy: False Promise?

15 April 2017

The New York Times has recently published several articles about the gig economy. Last month the Times reported that Uber uses video game technology to incentivize its drivers to work long hours and accept more fares to expand company profit.

31 December 2016

This past year was surreal in more ways than we can count; yet, our business grew by leaps and bounds, as we collaborated with clients and partners on projects that we’ve enjoyed enormously. We feel honored to have shared this journey with them, and look forward to the road ahead. Members of our team also…

Books Authored by Wordsmithie Team Members

17 August 2016

Most journalists, copywriters and editors believe they have at least one good book in them. This is certainly true here at Wordsmithie. But, unlike many others, we actually manage to write them and see them into print. Take Alexandra Kenin, as just one example. In addition to being an excellent studio director for our Google…

Engaging Social Media Post Ideas for Remote Agencies

11 August 2016

We love the fact that our team is located in every corner of the world. Not only that, but each of us at any one time has several other other gigs going.

First Impressions Working with Wordsmithie

Why We’re Grateful This Year

29 November 2015

Not long ago we celebrated our fifth birthday. I waxed lyrical about our half-decade of existence in a blog post; if you missed it, I shared a lot about what we’ve learned as an agency in the past five years. I’m grateful for all those lessons. They’ve helped Wordsmithie transform in to what it is today, and will…

Celebrating Wordsmithie’s First Five Years

08 September 2015

This summer, Wordsmithie celebrated its fifth anniversary, and what a wild joy ride it’s been. As we roll back to work after the well-deserved Labor Day holiday, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we’ve grown as a company, how I’ve changed as a founder and coach-player, and how our team has evolved into an…

Working With a Distributed Team

05 February 2015

Wordsmithie works internationally, which also means we’re much more widely scattered than many agencies our size. We have ’smithies not only all across the United States, but also in Europe (Madrid) and Asia (Singapore). We routinely collaborate on projects that have us talking and collaborating with people all across the globe—from Norway to New Zealand,…
