Posted by: Alissa Ampezzan
Recently, I read an article in Metromode about Detroit Regionalism and it made me think of a photo I snapped during the Q retreat. The crew had dinner at Atlas Global Bistro on Woodward (which was delicious!). In the foyer of the restaurant was a sprawling map of Detroit’s suburbs on the wall. As a downriver native (Taylor, see arrow on map), I was excited to see a reference to the surrounding suburbs, when usually it is the opposite. References to the city are everywhere in the suburbs, but rarely is the relationship flipped.

“As pioneers in the 1990s, Avenue A and Razorfish were each known for helping clients enter the digital age. Both brands represented innovation and speed to market, and they still do so today,” said Razorfish CEO Clark Kokich. “Nevertheless, we are making it easier to do business with us by using a single name—Razorfish.”
Single names rule.
