As we continue to celebrate Women’s History Month, The Week is focusing on those women who are, well, making history. The barriers they’re shattering, the new ground they’re breaking, the inspiration and insight they can share with all of us. So after beginning the week with some female leaders looking back, we finish with others…

Celebrities and prominent figures of all kinds have recently found their identities used in ‘deep fake’ content. Perhaps the most popularly deep-faked celebrity is Tom Cruise, who can be seen on TikTok doing everything from magic tricks to working on his golf swing. The problem is – he wasn’t. A neural network was fed several…

The reality of COVID-19 hit CTP suddenly one year ago. A member of our team told us her roommate had been exposed to a colleague who tested positive. Decisions needed to be made. So we turned to our team for guidance. What were they thinking? What concerns did they have? First and foremost, they were not scared to be at the office, but they were scared to come to…

Well, it’s March again. Somehow, it’s been a full year since packing up our laptops, welcoming our coworkers into our living rooms, and starring in our own versions of Groundhog Day. It’s a year marked with so many challenges – from loneliness and social distancing to mourning and fundamental changes to personal and professional lives.…

February may be the shortest month of the year, but it can feel like the longest. Perhaps that’s because we continue to be challenged by and wrestle with such fundamental human issues of diversity and health (i.e., the vaccine).

From sports to politics to business, it’s been an eventful week. One that started with advertising’s joint celebration/analysis of the Super Bowl (there was a pretty good game, too) and concluded with crises manifesting on so many fronts (including some of those advertisers). The Week’s taking a brief look back at whats stood out, while…

What does the future hold? We’re all ears (especially if you have a Grays Sports Almanac that can help with Sunday’s game). Looking forward, the Week’s been interested in a few recent stories about future states. Offices that look and feel like home. Virtual stadiums. Integrating but managing video fatigue. And (gasp) a world without…

It feels like we’ve all learned a little bit more than we already knew about the stock market this past week based on the recent events that landed Robinhood and GameStop atop international headlines. It’s a fascinating case study, on so many levels, from a crowd-sourced industry attack to a platform blocking its users from…

Originally published in Sports Illustrated on Nov. 2, 2015 Bud Bowl: Back then the idea of a commercial made specifically for the Super Bowl—that was novel. As the final pathetic seconds of Super Bowl XXII ticked off the clock, bringing the Redskins’ 42-10 blowout of the Broncos to a merciful close in the wee hours of…

The last month, heck the last several months, have been relentless. It’s not just the challenges of COVID-19, social justice, political polarization and an assault on truth, but the near daily manifestation of them (and others). And darting from one issue to another is hardly a recipe for success. The Week’s taking a bit of…
