The Whiteboard Network is a creative agency for fresh ideas and purposeful ventures. We combine creative forces with systematic activists—Ideas require implementation and our multi-disciplined network fosters a wide array of talents and abilities that empower visionaries and entrepreneurs to lead meaningful brands.
In 1896, American architect Louis Sullivan coined the phrase “form follows function." Decades later, another architect named Frank Lloyd Wright revised Sullivan’s law. Wright said, “Form follows function – that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.” Sullivan and Wright followed this rule of design when it came to the architecture of multi-story buildings and factories; the Whiteboard Network does it with heartbeats.
Our directive is to find the sacred intersection of form and function.
At Whiteboard, we aim to inspire color in the margins through action, story, melody, conversation, and love. We are simple in our love, conflicted in our thoughts, and intentional in our actions.
Don’t stand or raise a fist in defiance, simply walk into your world and be yourself. Let the dreams within you flood the streets of our cities. There is no time, no moment—there is a here and now and that is all you need.
Every individual and organization has their own unique story to tell; sometimes they just need help expressing it. While our work takes many forms, creativity and organizational storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. The Whiteboard Network exists to partner with dreams that inspire others to advance the good in all things.
