Oakley Surf Shop Challenge Regional Champion Trophies

For the second year in a row, Oakley asked The Public Works to design and build trophies for the Oakley Surf Shop Challenge (OSSC). Having loved the national champion trophy that we created in 2011, this year Oakley asked us to create the regional champion trophies. Keeping with the feel of the locale of this year’s national championship event—Bali, Indonesia—we created trophies to look like they were made of driftwood: a panel with weathered boards. And, in the true style…

Nike Experiential Marketing for the 2012 Zumiez 100K

The Public Works recently had the opportunity to collaborate with several companies—including Nike, Sauce Design and Laissez Faire Presents—to design, fabricate and implement an on-mountain Nike-brand experience and boot demo at Keystone Mountain.

Zumiez 100K participants got a…

Amazing fall scenery in Aspen, fun parties, insightful discussions, productive meetings, and something really really fun courtesy of by Red Bull.

The launch of “Business of Fun”

We have been brainstorming this event for years. A week ago it was finally time for a beta run. The general idea is to gather a panel of action sports experts from different fields of expertise and let it be known to college and high school age students that if you let your passions lead the way, there is probably a job that will make you happy.

We worked with the Colorado University Freeride Club which is the largest college club in the country to kick off this 1st event. Many industry…

Crested Butte & Aspen Meetings

Nothing makes work better than tying a lot of fun into it. We headed down to Crested Butte last Friday and hit the Rainbow Trail from Salida on the way. 100-mile single track that is a must-do for mt bike or moto. From there it was on to Crested Butte where we met with the marketing folks at the resort.

We also spent some solid time with the whole crew at Match Stick Productions. They have just completed the edit of “In Deep” which will have it’s World Premier in Colorado instead…

New portfolio book!

80 pages, steel front and back cover and the printing looks beautiful.

HUGE thanks to Asuka book for the above and beyond customer service, quick turn times, and quality product!

Quote on cover under DVD:

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing,…

Public Works Client and Vendor Visits in Chicago

We just had a great trip out to Chicago. Toured the 80/20 facility and got to spend some great time with the founders and marketing team. Check out their product at 8020.net. The Public Works has been using their “industrial erector set” in everything from library furniture to skate ramps. Great to see where it comes from and meet the crew.

From their we were off to McDavid sports equipment. Once again a great crew. Also amazing to walk through…

MiniBook

We’re proud of our portfolio book. It’s big, shiny, and heavy… but it’s also expensive.

When we show it off we inevitably get asked if we can give them away and, as much as we’d like our work to be on display everywhere, it’s just too expensive.

With a couple of weeks left before SIA (the snow industry tradeshow in Vegas) we decided to design a take-down of the book that we could feel good about giving away.

This is what we came up with… It’s got a laser cut,…
