The Chicago History Museum, for whom SGDP has worked on several large campaigns, has great resources for any Chicago or history fan. One fascinating resource is ARCHIE, a searchable database of photographs and writings about the city we call home. Whether you’re interested in baseball, politics or something a little, uh, different, ARCHIE’s a great place to learn more.

Like everyone at SGDP, you’ve surely looked for a great nautical-themed Italian restaurant/bar to call your own in downtown Chicago. Look no further: Club Lago, just down the street from our office, has everything you’re looking for — homey ambiance, friendly staff, good food for good prices, and an enormous helm in the middle of the dining room. Next time you’re in the neighborhood, check it out.

I've experienced the ups and downs of collaboration. How collaborative is your creative process? SGDP counts on collaboration between designers, writers and strategists to get to the core of client communication problems. What are your views?
