CARSONIFIED GAVE OUT PERSONALIZED JOURNALS FOR ALL ATTENDEES OF FOWA

Ryan Carson and his crew at Carsonified continue to make the web a human place. They recently put on the Future of Web Apps conference in London. As a Thank You gift to all of the attendees, they created a journal. This isn’t your everyday Moleskin journal. It has a human touch, and very little Carsonified branding. They were thoughtful all throughout the design. It came with a pencil, rather than a pen to ensure the analog usage of the journal. They included a jute bag (that is completely compostable – Nice touch), to carry the journal in. And to top off the human touch, they included hand written notes to each of the attendees.

This is what the web community needs more of, profitable companies making sure to not forget about what got them to profitability, people. Cynics might say that this is to just position themselves as customer-friendly or self-promotion, but I believe that the way Ryan and Gill have set up their company, this is how they treat their employees, their customers and everyone they come into contact with.

I didn’t go to FOWA in London, but from the videos I’ve seen online and the chatter I’ve heard it was a super conference. Thanks Ryan and Carsonified for staying approachable and human. It’s a good reminder.
