Working hard, playing hard (and drawing faster than ever)

By Kurt Solomon

At CN&CO, we’ve always believed in taking what you do seriously, without taking yourself too seriously.

We work hard. We play hard. We connect people and businesses with purpose. And every now and then, we stop to enjoy the lighter side of things… which brings us to the current corporate caricature craze taking over LinkedIn, social media platforms and WhatsApp groups everywhere.

What makes us smile is that, in our own small way, CN&CO were early adopters. Back in 2018, long before AI prompts and “generate in 10 seconds” buttons, we had our first hand-drawn corporate caricature commissioned the old-school way. Time. Talent. A real human artist bringing personality to professionalism.

Fast forward a few years and everything has changed.

Business has evolved. Technology has accelerated. AI has entered the boardroom. Processes that once took weeks now take minutes. And yes, today you can generate a caricature in about the same time it takes to pour a coffee.

But the idea behind it hasn’t changed.

Caricatures, like good business, are about connection. They humanise brands. They tell stories. They remind us that behind the titles, the spreadsheets, the strategy and the KPIs, there are real people doing real work.

At CN&CO, that’s what we’ve always focused on, connecting people and business, building relationships that last, and creating outcomes that matter. Whether it’s through innovative thinking, evolving tech, or a slightly exaggerated cartoon version of yourself.

So while the tools may have changed, the spirit hasn’t.

And because we believe business should still be fun, we’d love to see yours.

Share your caricature with your favourite CN&CO team members. Let’s see how you’re working hard, playing hard and embracing the evolution.
