SmallBox's Factory Week

SmallBox Factory Week

What the heck is a Factory Week? Good question! 

Factory Week is all about making ideas happen. Fitting in internal projects amidst client work can be tricky for a creative agency. So we take a week off every 6 months to recharge our creative wellspring and pursue ideas and projects.

With a whole slew of unrealized ideas and projects in the queue, CEO Jeb Banner committed the SmallBox team to one solid week of focusing solely on internal business.

This project was named after and inspired by Andy Warhol’s NYC studio, The Factory – perhaps the first modern co-working space focusing on artistic collaboration and production.

In a successful and rewarding first Factory Week in June 2011, SmallBox tackled almost a dozen projects including a company manifesto, a content gathering tool (soon to launch as "Wrangle"), a marketing plan, a redecorated office and, most importantly, a stronger sense of unity and purpose.

The third edition of Factory Week is June 25-29, 2012, and will take place at The Speak Easy. 

Factory Week Projects 


Our Manifesto
During the first Factory Week, SmallBox wrote a company manifesto. Don't worry, we aren't looking to take over the world, yet. The final result: a document and video, below, that captures our team, our culture and how we work. The video also gives you a peak of our redesigned offices, another Factory Week project! 




Wrangle: A Content Gathering Tool
Creating, gathering and optimizing web content can be a nightmare- for clients and agencies. Keeping tabs on what's written and who's responsible can be a herculean task. SmallBox developed a content gathering tool called Wrangle to manage this process. Wrangle is currently in beta testing with SmallBox clients. Launching soon!
