My wife and I are co-chairing the Capital Campaign of our son Hayes's school, St. George's High School. We have built "the message" we need to communicate to prospective givers, and on Friday will meet with a creative and branding consultant to package this message in the most palatable way.
They're called "Origami," and here are their business cards:
If you can't tell by my half-assed photo, the cards fold into pyramid-like sculptures.
Think we picked the right guys?
Some of you may be thinking, "Cute, but are they practical?" When I was at Just For Laughs, we had oversized business cards, with the front of the card replicated in reverse on the back. We got complaints all the time: "Oh, I can't fit them in my Rolodex/pocket/business card holder" moan whine moan ad nauseum. But lemme tell you, they NEVER FORGOT our names, our company...or our business card.
Take your pick--you can choose to fit the wallet, or to Pow! your way into people's memories.
