manifestos
some manifestos speak specifically to internal audiences, some are created to resonate with the consumer. i believe that a really strong one can do both. what follows is a collection of pieces that fall within the broader definition of manifesto—from flighty, abstract anthems to literal, informative origin stories.

new book, same great face.
Ninebark is an unexpected breath of fresh air in the rapidly developing Southwest Washington region. Surrounded by soaring riverview bluffs and deep forest groves, resting on the banks of the iconic Columbia River, and just a short drive or bike ride to the centers of Camas and Washougal, Ninebark is a place where explorers, professionals and families can return to and reconnect with the stunning beauty of the natural world that's been here all along.
We are the bold explorers.
The bootstrap locals. The intrepid few.
Born from the wild forests and rushing rivers of Central Oregon;
cut from timber and stone and steel.
We embody endless curiousity and couragious
self-reliance that make this a place unlike any other.
Where local artisans thrive alongside world-class brewers and restauranteurs;
where breathtaking natural wonder promises no bad days;
where commutes are made on singletrack and communities are made on passion and creativity.
The Jackstraw exists at the nexus of all these things, inviting you to live where you play.
What is sport without competition? What is the heart of a champion without a stage on which to demonstrate it? Kids with stars in their eyes and fire in their chests don't dream of the day they'll discuss victory, they dream of the day they'll taste it.
Yet when a victor is crowned in today's biggest events, competition becomes conversation. And the world is left with just a snapshot of titleholders for far too long.
All of that is changing.
This is World 1 League. A movement, of athletes, for athletes. A modern-day coliseum that honors the heart of a competitor and revels in the thrill of sport. In World 1 League, titles are not meant to be held, they're meant to be contested. Fought for, and won, and taken away.
World 1 Athletes will elevate sport. They will inspire the next generation and redefine greatness. And they will lay their rank on the line without pause, to change athletic competition as we know it.
United in rivalry, titans of their trade, these are the true heroes. These are the Champions of World 1 League.
We are ONE team with ONE purpose.
A team of heroes and storytellers,
in the business of captivating and delighting our partners,
empowering them to create magic and memories.
In a landscape of distraction and diversion,
we work together as ONE.
Unwavering in our creative vision.
We connect brands with people and stories
to surprise, excite, and entertain.
We are ONE team with ONE purpose.
We believe our task is not a race, but a marathon.
We believe in reaching beyond our wildest dreams,
moving faster, reaching farther and aiming higher,
to deliver experiences unlike any other.
We are pioneers,
exploring further than ever imagined.
Sparking curiosity with every adventure.
We don't ask ourselves what we can do next.
We ask ourselves what no one has done before
and we set a course to do it.
Together we are inspired and inspiring.
Together we are energized and energizing.
Together we are ONE team with ONE purpose,
taking the media industry to places it's never been.
We are Disney Advertising Sales & Partnerships.
We don't win games, we win championships.
Let’s talk about money.
Money matters.
It connects us. It changes hands and changes lives.
It affects where we live, how we live, and how we grow.
Money is rational. Logical. Systematic.
A two-column ledger of debits and credits.
But we are so much more than just bank accounts and paychecks.
We're people with emotions and ideas.
People with plans and intentions.
With dreams, and wish lists, and bookmarked home listings.
We're people with struggles, and failures, ignorance and fears.
Alone in our fight for financial wellness,
convinced that no one else could face such shortcomings,
far from where we'd hoped to be,
and utterly ashamed to admit it.
But when we open up,
when we share our stories about making, losing, and living with money,
the solitude and shame begin to lose their grip.
We feel a little lighter, and a little less alone.
And once the isolation is broken, we can keep talking.
This is Open Account:
Honest conversations about money, with the people who use it.
The legacy energy model is no longer acceptable.
Dirty. Fragile. Inadequate.
Massive coal and nuclear plants generate small yields of thermal energy,
much of it lost through wasteful distribution across dated infrastructure.
As populations grow and demand skyrockets,
the availability and dependability of energy
fails to meet demand.
What we need is not more of the same.
Not more coal, not more oil, not more nuclear power.
What we need now is a revolution.
We are LO3 Energy.
A groundbreaking force in the field of clean energy technology.
Committed to reshaping the future of energy.
Committed to reimagining how it can be generated, conserved, traded, and shared.
Committed to the Energy Revolution.
We're building self-sustaining microgrids that connect communities,
processing thousands of energy transactions a day autonomously.
We're partnering with local organizations to secure funding and support legislation, clearing a path for more microgrids, more technologies, and more solutions.
We are not searching for answers to problems in the legacy energy model.
We're here to show that the model is the problem.
And we already have the answer.
LO3 Energy. Join the Revolution.
Liquivision was founded by Eric Fattah in 2004.
An inventor, freediver, and former World Record Holder—
by the time Eric put a company name to his lifelong passion,
he'd been pioneering ideas in dive technology for years.
Eric instilled that same sense of ingenuity in his new business,
and we've been an industry leader in innovation ever since.
Through revolutionary design and cutting-edge technology,
Liquivision continues to earn patents and set benchmarks in our industry,
building on a reputation that speaks for itself.
We will never stop learning;
We will never stop discovering;
We will never stop innovating;
in pursuit of a safer dive for all.
When information is a vital tool,
Liquivision lets you Dive Enlightened.
Being an innovator doesn't mean improving on the current state,
it's a promise to never stop defying standards, in pursuit of a stronger solution.
And that's what Zeagle defines itself by.
In 1979, Dennis Bulin combined his expertise in skydiving equipment
with his love of water diving, and Zeagle was born.
We've been doing things our own way ever since.
Dennis refused to accept the merely adequate standards of the time,
and challenged conventional wisdom to develop new and better solutions.
He quickly earned worldwide recognition for his innovative methods,
and we’ve carried on that spirit, maintaining his uncompromising attention to detail,
and an unparalleled dedication to quality that stands the test of time.
In the 80s we introduced the Ripcord Release System.
In the 90s we patented our Personal Fit System ™
produced the first Tech BC, and caused an industry shift,
focusing on heavy-duty professional style products.
Through the decades, our vision remains unchanged,
and our commitment to quality remains unwavering.
And when we send a diver out into the vast unknown,
we're confident knowing they've put their trust in Zeagle—
the most reliable diving equipment in the world.
When Emil Stahl founded this company in 1978, he didn't set out to make fortune or fame, he set out to make a better, stronger, more durable watersports bag.
Emil immersed himself in the task at hand, embracing the craft in a way no one had.
He questioned every convention and scrutinized every detail,
gaining notoriety for his dedication and originality.
He earned private label suppliership for heavyweights L.L. Bean, Tumi and Patagonia.
When sons John and Jim joined the family business,
bringing their deep knowledge and personal passion for dive and watersports,
the future of a company became the future of an industry.
Stahl means Steel, and that's as fitting as it gets.
Through uncompromising methods and unyielding resolve,
our founders became known for crafting the best adventure luggage available.
We carry on that tradition today.
And we remain true to the culture and values this company was founded upon.
We don't make watersport luggage; we forge it.
We don't test our product; we depend on it.
And we don't know watersports; we live it.
We are Stahlsac, and toughness runs in our blood.
Stahlsac. Go Anywhere.
Portland's Industrial Eastside long ago declared its resilient character.
A vital part of a great city.
Hardworking and humble; dynamic and proud.
It has always stood for workers, makers, and doers.
We revere and embody the storied heritage of our plot,
and invite a new era.
The Goat Blocks.
This is a place where Portlanders come together.
Where expression is encouraged and creativity is celebrated.
Where living and making happen side by side.
A space designed to bring us together and to energize us.
A place where we can share stories, make connections, and enhance community.
Goat Blocks stands as a nexus of people, ideas, and culture.
The heartbeat of Central Eastside.
Escape is a state of spirit,
not a state of mind.
It’s a journey,
not a place.
It’s charging heart-first into adventure,
and hunting the thrill of the unknown.
It’s daring to be spontaneous.
Run wild on the beach.
Turn cartwheels in the grass.
Stand in the wind and try to fly.
Escape is seeking yourself,
your world,
and surprising yourself with purpose.
It’s climbing out the back window
and sneaking in the side door.
It’s refusing to confine a restless spirit.
It’s fixing your eyes on the horizon
while everything else crumbles away.
It’s looking inside,
seeking outside,
and losing your breath.
Escape is for the fearless.
Escape is for the taking.
What will you Escape to?

We are Fort George. Founded in Astoria Oregon in 1924. Brewing and serving our beer out of the same historic Lovell Auto Co. building ever since. We measure ourselves by the standards of cultivation and creation that the people of this region have always held dear. We recognize the beauty that surrounds us, and we stand—shoulder to shoulder with our fellow Astorians—to sustain and nurture it. We known that each talented individual, each lush green forest, and each wave-crashed shore is something unique and wonderful. And we know there's no better way to enjoy them than together. This is why we are Fort George. This is what we have to share.
We are designers, creators, seamstresses, artists, visionaries, and environmentalists. Fashion apparel is our life, but our hidden agenda is changing the world. We believe that apparel should be an expression of freedom, an expression of personality. We believe that a piece of clothing should help you tell your story. We also believe that piece should have a story of its own. It has a past, a present, and a future. It's part of something bigger. We can't afford to treat things like they're not connected - like they're just passing through. The same goes for each other. There is a delicate balance to maintain, and it's going to take all of us to do it. We were not created to walk this planet, generation after generation, gleaning from it what we want, and never giving back. We are here to nurture, to protect, to live in symbiotic harmony with the magnificent nature that surrounds us. We are tasked with creating a sustainable, conscientious way of life that will ensure this delicate balance goes on.
At Otto Lee, we take that seriously. We believe that it's our responsibility to create change. We believe that doing the little things differently really can make a difference.
And we believe that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing well.
Otto Lee; clothing with intent.
let's connect. together we'll discover what great storytelling could do for you.
