SXH: Cool Hunting is just one of your ventures, can you tell us about some of the other projects you are working on?

JR: Yeah, I’ve kinda got a lot going on. My main focus these days is Bond, a firm that I started with some former Razorfish colleagues about a year-and-a-half ago. We combine strategy and creativity to identify opportunities for better digital experiences. In other words, we design and build web and mobile applications. Our clients are primarily in the media, fashion and telecommunications worlds. We’re 15 people and growing; we just moved to a great new office; and we eat lunch together every day. We’re very food centric. Cool Hunting is under the same roof so there are some nice synergies there.

We’re also starting a new ad network in collaboration with our friends from Happy Corp and Osmosis. It’s called Largetail and it will combine ad inventory from lots of great, like-minded sites. We also offer customized campaigns for our advertisers.
