Might & Main

Might & Main's Traveling Brandsmithery Picture Show

If you were at SnowBall or another event we sponsored this holiday season, you may have noticed a table bearing a curious vintage-looking trunk emblazoned with the Might & Main insignia. If you stepped closer, you would have spied a pair of eyepieces protruding from the top of the bedecked box, and an intriguing lever would have invited you to "pull". You would have just discovered the Might & Main Traveling Brandsmithery Picture Show, and if you peered inside, you would have been treated to a cascade of images displaying our branding and design skills in action. If you pulled that enticing lever, you would have instantly received a single extra-thick Might & Main business card via a slot in the front of the box.

We're about to announce a book collaboration with a local photographer, and we have a big project coming up this spring with two other agencies. As someone asked on our Facebook wall this week, "Is there anyone Might & Main doesn't partner with!?"
