It started in a kitchen
That’s where most great things start, don’t they? When financial crisis struck in 2008, Capsule had a front row seat to the resounding challenges facing brands across all industries and sectors. With an almost irresponsibly low level of bar stools and a fresh pot of coffee, we opened our tiny kitchen space to host regular speaking events and networking opportunities.
Over a decade into this humble effort, we’ve not only played host to legendary brand executives, but neuroscientists, sports commentators and rock stars as well. We've survived a global pandemic, gathering in community via our Zoom screens to listen and learn from others around the world from our couches. And most recently, have found a hybrid way of bringing people back together in person at our office and virtually in tandem.
All the while, our audience has grown in size and ventured into new zip codes, but our simple philosophy has remained unchanged - ask questions, share ideas, stay inspired.
Think & Link in a nutshell
Think & Link is currently hosted in-person on a monthly basis Thursdays at 4 CST, with some subject to flex.
Our format is a 60-minute live in-person and virtual Q&A discussion with 1-2 speakers, led by the Capsule team. Audience questions are welcome in the chat and sprinkled into the conversation.
Can’t make it on Thursday? Our T&L Time Capsule page hosts over 50 hours of quote-worthy snippets and links to full talks from our recorded events. Or, sign up for our invitation list and get highlights sent straight to your inbox.
We love to promote our friends new and old. From co-hosting to a simple plug on a new idea or venture, our sponsorship model is flexible and inclusive.
Think & Link is put on by Capsule agency, a seasoned special projects agency out of Minneapolis, solving design and marketing challenges for leading brands of all shapes and sizes.
