Box of Crayons does a lot of work with TD Bank, one of Canada’s big four banks.
This is one of the reasons I’m very proud to call them a client. It’s not just that they’ve put out a ”it gets better” video. I’ve always known TD had a great commitment to diversity.

The big win with End Malaria is that it raised more than $300k for Malaria No More.
That said, there have been some lovely side benefits. Working with a bunch of people I’ve long admired, both creating the books with Seth and The Domino Project team and the 62 brilliant contributors. Hitting #2 on Amazon.com was also quite the thrill.
And now it’s the winner of the 2012 Culture prize, one of the Eric Hoffer award categories. Hurrah! (Here’s Seth’s post about the glorious moment.)
