Stop Tweeting Boring Sh*t Is NSFW At Boring Workplaces

Over the years, I’ve seen many ad agencies publish books of one kind or another. Many fall nakedly into the “here’s our proprietary process, along with case studies to back it up” genre.

Others take a more compelling approach. Such is the case with Sausalito agency Division of Labor’s new book: Stop Tweeting Boring Sh*t: The New Rules of Work.

stop-tweeting-boring-shit

It’s a pretty simple premise: A series of humorous tweets, redesigned to look like mini-posters, with a little backup explanation that focuses on work life, business thinking, and a bit of philosophy in general. Yeah, it’s sarcastic as hell, as I imagine many of the folks working there are.

But a cool thing happens as you read the book: You get a very good glimpse of the agency’s outlook on many things, which for prospective clients or employees, makes a good case for working with (or staying away from) Division of Labor. Like this one:

Untitled

In other words, read this book and you might know what kind of work you’ll be doing with them. Stop Tweeting Boring Sh*t is a quick, fun read, and it’ll fit nicely on any creative’s desk for a little inspiration. It also fits nicely into a client RFP package, which helps Division of Labor most of all.

Special thanks to DOL for providing me with a review copy.
