In late January 2026, 7 Brew Coffee held a national leadership conference at Ga***rd Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, bringing together more than 660 executives, franchisees, and managers at a pivotal moment for the company.

The event, built around the theme “Now and Next,” underscored the company’s swift growth. 7 Brew now operates more than 600 drive-thru stands nationwide, including more than 280 locations opened in 2025 alone.

This project was never just about production. It was about helping introduce a museum built to preserve and share the stories of Medal of Honor recipients and the values they represent: courage, sacrifice, integrity, commitment, patriotism, and citizenship.

Working alongside the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation on such an important moment was a privilege for our entire team. We are deeply thankful for the trust they placed in us and grateful to have played a role in helping bring this historic opening celebration to life.

The production brought together live performance, cinematic storytelling, original music, large-scale projection, lighting design, broadcast elements, drone cinematography, and immersive visual environments as part of the museum’s opening events in Arlington, Texas.

We also want to recognize Writer & Director Stephen Dahlem, Producer Christopher Laue, and Project Lead Brian Greenway for their leadership and dedication throughout the project.

Most importantly, we extend our deepest respect and gratitude to the Medal of Honor recipients, service members, and families whose stories continue to inspire generations across our country.

Thank you to the Telly Awards for this recognition, and thank you to everyone who helped make this meaningful project possible.

Some of the best creative ideas do not arrive during brainstorms, strategy meetings, or while staring at a blank screen trying to force inspiration to appear.

They show up unexpectedly.

In airports. Hotels. Conversations. Small observations most people move past without noticing. Sometimes they arrive the moment we stop trying so hard to find them in the first place.

In his latest article for The Art of What You Do Not See, Jeffrey Kirk explores curiosity, attention, engineering, creativity, and why inspiration often appears sideways instead of directly.

Most teams think they’re closing deals.

In reality, the decision is often made much earlier.

It happens when someone experiences something that quietly raises their expectations. From that point on, everything else gets measured against it.

That moment rarely shows up in the presentation or the pitch, but it has more influence than anything that follows.

Corporate Magic's COO, Jeffrey Kirk, wrote about how experience shapes preference and why explanation alone is rarely enough to move a decision.

People don’t choose through logic. They choose through experience. Learn how exposure shapes preference before decisions are ever made.

We spend months designing the moment…

and then this sign walks in like, “Hey, just so you know… things are about to get interesting.”

Fair warning: when the anticipation builds, we tend to follow through.
