We came. We saw. We shot arrows and sang karaoke.
Happy Holidays to all, and thanks to our colleagues, clients, family and friends who were able to join us for our Let It Fly 2012 Holiday Party.

Finding the perfect gift is one of the best parts of the season. But if you’re like us, there’s always that one person on your list who stumps you (lookin’ at you, Uncle Greg). If you find yourself in a nutcracker this year, the Swifties have some gift suggestions for you that are sure to please even the toughest ba-humbugger.
TECH
Skymall not cutting it this year? Here’s our must-have tech gadgets.
iPhone Lens Dial ($249) – Make that Instagram photo of their lunch glisten in HD.
Smart Phone Touch Gloves ($19.99) – Freezing your fingers off while texting isn’t worth it. Keep the thumbs cozy.
After just 16 days into Movember, the Swift mustaches are in full force and the office environment has become exponentially more inspired. Client meetings have become MUCH more interesting since the beginning of the month, as to be expected when sitting across from multiple killer ‘staches in progress.
Movember, for those not familiar with the event, isn’t just an excuse for guys to see who can get the most hipster with their facial hair. Individuals and teams from all over the world start with a blank canvas and grow their best ‘staches in an effort to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer.
Stay tuned for a final report – and photo – for Team Swift at the end of the month!
Welcome to our first installment of tGIF. In honor of the Miami Art Week’s GIF Festival, Moving the Still—yes, there’s a GIF festival out there—we’re getting high-brow with this low-brow digital art form out of the gate.
Here are our top 5:

At Swift, we take Halloween very seriously.
We came, we saw…we kicked blue, pink, orange, and yellow’s booty. On Saturday September 29, the Swifties rounded up bright and early to tackle The Color Run at Portland International Raceway. Decked out in our best run whites, we joined 16,000 others for “The Happiest 5K on the Planet,” where we were blitzed with cornstarch-based color at every kilometer.
Certainly one of the most unique 5Ks on the planet, too. Check out our Facebook photo gallery for the full spectrum.
In celebration of our namesake, we made our annual trip out last night to watch the Swifts funnel into the chimney at Chapman Elementary School in NW Portland. Food, family, wine and bird watching…it was a good night for the Swift Collective, indeed.
College football fans won’t be the only trash-talkers around the office this month.
This September, several Swifties will be partaking in the Bike Commute Challenge. The premise is simple; various workplaces (in similar industries and size) are pitted against one another to see who can log the most miles and commutes for the entire month.
The calendar doesn’t lie: tomorrow is really, truly already September 1. Though summer officially continues through the 21st of next month, Labor Day weekend has always felt like the unofficial last hurrah.
The past few months have been a flurry of exciting work and projects, including the development of the soon-to-launch Isola Trattoria website for Morgans Hotel Group Mondrian Soho and on-site social coverage of the US Olympic Trials Track & Field in Eugene, Oregon for Nike Running.
Thankfully, we did manage to sneak in (or sneak away for) a little play time, too. Here’s a roundup of some of our favorite moments.
