I/D.W

We're proud to share a recent collaboration between I/D.W and Okta, marking the first in a series of projects that transcend the conventional boundaries of a single photo and video shoot. Over the course of 10 distinctive user journeys, our still and video teams worked in tandem to capture a range of real-life moments, enabled by Okta’s seamless identity platform. I/D.W is helping Okta showcase the humanity of its global community, ensuring that every touchpoint, from expansive global campaigns to the immersive experiences of tradeshows and events, resonates with personal and human interactions. Identity, first. Thanks to the amazing team at Okta and our creative collaborators who brought this project to life: Hubert Shum, Devin Cornwall, Jono Heath, Becky Hui Chan, Mark Mahaney, Mary Pratt, Roadwork Studio.

The antidote to doomscrolling? Start with creativity and solutions. What if every piece of journalism you read today focused on what’s working (or promising)? And each article elevated the tone of public discourse to build agency and hope. Last year, I had the pleasure of joining Solutions Journalism Network (SJN) to speak at a 2-day workshop alongside leading journalists and teams from print, radio, and digital newsrooms. SJN is a 10-year-old organization leading a global movement in journalism to focus on reporting responses to problems—and what we can learn from their successes and failures. Thank you to the amazing Cheryl Dahle, fellow Fast Company alumni, and new friend Bonnie Wan, best-selling author of The Life Brief. Here’s an article from the team at LBB (Little Black Book) about the gathering and what can happen when creativity meetings Solutions Journalism. https://lnkd.in/eHwJwAcK
