Larsen and Best Buy

Today Lousia, Jake, Lauren, Miranda, Andrew and I went over to Larsen to brain storm for their client Best Buy. They are working on a website @15 with the intentions of giving teenagers between 13 and 17 a voice in causes that matters to them.

Larsen was actually a pretty neat place; we got the chance to walk around and see the place and how they have it set up seems like somewhere I would want to be. The office is in south Minneapolis occupying the bottom 2 floors of an office building. Their layout is free form, not confining similar positions to specific sections around the office. The cubicles aren't much of a cubicle, more like a mini studio where they allow their employees to setup how they please.

We brain stormed with David Molanphy, Bud Snead and Jennifer Parks all of whom were incredibly fun to work with. We tossed both big and small ideas (though most were major changes) around the table on how to better target their audience, keep them coming back and convey the message without misinterpretation. All of us really enjoyed it, coming out of it Lauren mentioned how she wished she could have a job like that comparing it to the girls in Minority Report who were submerged in goo and thought of things for their whole life.

Thanks again to Kevin Byrne for bringing this up to us and you can definitely count me in if something like this comes up again.
