Brands greenwashing their products has blurred the lines 😵💫 for customers to make informed decisions respecting environmentally-profitable business standards. Marketing for a cleaner future needs to reflect true business practices. 🌱
The better brands get at transparent climate communication, the better consumers will be at sniffing out the brands that greenwash at the cost of Mother Nature.

The humans at Popcorn Brain are constantly thinking and discussing the zeitgeisty pop culture matters of today. 🤯 But we think it's a shame to keep these discussions all to ourselves. Starting today, we will be publishing a weekly article featuring our thoughts on a whole range of topics. 📝
First up in this series, today's most polarizing craze: NFTs. 🖼
You may love them, hate them, invest in them, create them or have no idea what they even are! (Ahem…most of us) 🙋However, there’s no denying that NFTs have manufactured their way into our digital reality as we embark into the new realm of Web 3.0. 🖥
Whatever they are, we seek to educate and explain. Check out our new blog post 📲 and decide for yourself where you stand on NFT culture. 🤨 Let us know in the comments! ⬇️

Check out our amazing VTECH Marble rush commercial!
At Popcorn Brain we love projects that tickle our nerdy bone. VTECH had us at toy commercial. And when it’s a project we can do arm in arm with our sister company DEAD PIXEL, it’s even more fun. We really wanted to make a commercial that would give us that same jolt of energy and fun we remember...

Meet the team: Lily Molina A.K.A. Lily or Superlilster, because she is really that: super awesome. She is the coolest insta-mom you'll ever meet, an underrated fashionista and imaginative as can be. She is creative, but with numbers, and a true organising genius. That is why she rocks as as our head of Operations, piloting PCB to success!
Camille is the most photographed member or our team, but really, can you blame us? That style, those perfect teeth, and our necesity to capture a version of her that doesn't make any sound. The one and only Camille.
