SMALL PRINT:
Protein is a place where people and ideas grow 🌱 We do this through our global community, agency, and studio space. We believe we’ve all got a responsibility to think and act bigger than ourselves and that "good growth" can only be achieved by balancing progress, profit, and purpose.
Yes, we really have published 683 issues of this newsletter. The first Protein Supplement was sent on 17th September 1997 to 14 people and (other than a few breaks over the years) has always aimed to distill what’s happening at the intersection of culture and technology into a concise and accessible digest. If you’re interested in digging into the (incomplete) archive, you can here.
You can also find us on Insta, Twitter, The Dots, Discord, iTunes, and Linkedin. We always like to hear from you and how we can improve what we do, so if you want to get in touch about anything, please use this form.
