There’s always room for a little extra sparkle, especially during the holidays, right? We think so! That said, December’s Color of the Month at VP+C is… you guessed it: GOLD GLITTER. Check out how the team likes to get their shimmy on – ALANA GETS CRAFTY Surrounded by the creative minds at VP+C, I has been inspired to get in touch with my creative side.  A gold glitter bomb bowl for the home—and it’s super simple (which is the exact kind of DIY that suits me).  Equal parts Mod Podge and Gold Glitter—a little stir, paint onto a blown up…

VP+C rose to Adweek’s challenge to decode Chevy’s recent press release written entirely in emoji’s – Words Alone Can’t Describe the 2016 Cruze.  Below is each person’s own interpretation of the first paragraph of this playful press release. Find the true translation at the very end and let us know who you think took home the gold! Michelle Detroit, MI- Two days from now a new Chevy car will be born, with love. Designed with mobile capabilities, striking angles and unprecedented fuel stamina for a sports vehicle. The dough you’ll save with this investment will make the whole family happy….

The poet and art critic Guillaume Apollinaire said, “Color is the fruit of life.” A slightly precious thing to say, but cut him some slack. It was a long time ago when people were less cynical than they are today. Whatever you might think of Apollinaire’s metaphor, his message was clear. Color makes life more enjoyable, which is why Valspar — whose paint comes in thousands of colors and is the most widely distributed of any coatings — is on a mission to help red-green colorblind people see in full color, and to help the normally sighted to appreciate all…

At VP+C, this month’s color forecast features a charming, yet enigmatic hue – Valspar’s Poetic Purple. Emily Enjoys a Sweet Treat I am normally not a “purple” person, and generally try to stay away from all things this  color,  but there is one thing in the world that makes purple acceptable, and that is Black Raspberry Ice Cream. The instant I saw that Poetic Purple was the color of the month- I was brought back to the many summers I spent working at my father’s ice cream shop in upstate New York. Black Raspberry was undoubtedly one of the most…

To our friends celebrating Rosh Hashana this week, Happy New Year! Here are some sweet stories to start things off right, fresh from the VP+C team.

We did. And, we’re not talking the typical Meghan and Michelle paint-the-town-red kind of evening. Rather, we’re speaking of bull balls–yes, you read that correctly–which we treated our taste buds to while recently dining at Plan B, a tapas restaurant in NOLITA. Michelle and I fancy ourselves adventurous types; I’ve gone skydiving and started mixing patterns, and Michelle has cliff jumped and still wears bows in her hair. So, we’re really game for anything. Add Prossecco to the mix and, well, balls-to-the wall is seemingly always the only and best way to go. After immaturely yet confidently ordering/receiving the dish…

We, at VP+C, are a multi-talented bunch that never drop the ball, especially at Bowlmor…  

There are certain ads, activations or partnerships that make us stop and think: Wow, this brand really gets it! It’s culturally relevant, visually fresh and intellectually inspiring. Sony earned such a reaction with their recent Sony 4K TV video in which they enlisted McCANN and photographer Nick Meek to create an unusually beautiful series of exotic installations. The video that resulted illustrates the awesomeness of their new technology (four times the detail of full HD) via a surreal, technicolor dream. Set against the beauty of Costa Rica’s volcanos, rivers and urban streets, millions of petals and leaves were arranged and manipulated…
