Doing Things

This past weekend, 200+ guests packed Park and Field in Chicago for Middle Class Fancy's inaugural Ultimate Backyard Fest — filled with lawn games, a dad-joke competition, and a yacht-rock DJ keeping the whole crowd swaying. Guests enjoyed Middle Class Fancy (MCF) novelties such as charcuterie boards, patio margaritas, MCF eats like devil eggs and Superdawg Drive-In, and left with a "Livin' the Dream" hat as a parting gift. Thanks to creator friends Grill Guy and The Vulgar Chef, along with partners Gatorade (PepsiCo) & Dole Food Company, for bringing the MCF vibes and keeping our guests quenched. More of these are coming. Stay tuned!

FYI College Students! This is an awesome opportunity to help Overheard launch its Campus Correspondent program & gain real life experience with one of the most prominent and relatable social media brands out there.

There's nothing better than listening to kids talk about space — except watching that content rack up 5.7M views. 🚀 Ahead of National Baking Soda Rocket Day (Oct. 8), Recess Therapy partnered with Church & Dwight Co., Inc.'s ARM & HAMMER™ to prove their mission isn't just about launching rockets — it's about launching futures. Together, we set out to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, artists, and innovators through the wonders of STEAM, and show that science can be fun, visual, and easy to explore at home with something as simple as a box of baking soda. The results were out of this world: 500K+ likes and 5.7M views. Mission accomplished. https://lnkd.in/gMpmwSuq Aaron Greengard Christine S. Cori West

90s Kids Only ✅….. That's the vibe for 'Nostalgia Auction Part 6', curated by one of the biggest nostalgia creators in the game: @OnlyNinetiesKidsKnow. This is the kinda drop that says a lot about what growing up in the 90s and early 2000s actually looked like. A “90s kid starter pack”, if you will 😎. We couldn't be more excited to partner with Doing Things on this drop - big shoutout to Reid Hailey Jr. and Jonathan Miller!
