From website to “bundle of knowledge and expertise”
More than anything else we had to shift our own thinking, because that was constraining with how you do things on mobile. Realizing that TPM is not a website — it’s a bundle of knowledge and expertise and ongoing coverage that exists inherently on no particular platform, and we are consitently trying to find ways to make it adaptable on as many platforms as possible.

Short documentary about influencers
INFLUENCERS is a short documentary that explores what it means to be an influencer and how trends and creativity become contagious today in music, fashion and entertainment.

A painting or a novel need only please or provoke its audience; it doesn’t then also require setbacks, parking minimums and LEED certification.
