What’s the Time? Just Tacos Time

In our humble opinion, a good restaurant website should do two things: 1) Show you the menu, and 2) Get out of your way so you can order a tasty meal from that menu.

Just Tacos Time opened their flagship storefront in Carmel late last year, and the Kicks crew was thrilled to be early taste testers. With some unconventional branding and a lightweight website, we made sure nothing stands between their tacos and your tummy. Check out our case study to see how we cooked up their site.

It's Taco Time

Shopify says this meeting could have been an email

We love Shopify for their super easy-to-use e-comm platform, and we love them even more for a recent move they’re making. Back in January Shopify announced that they were purging their employees’ calendars of 10,000 meetings, in a step to boost morale and free up working hours.

Our take? Good riddance to bad meetings. Tap the button below to read all the hot takes from the hottest marketers in Fountain Square.

Thank You, Mario, But Kicks Is In Another Castle!

The Kicks crew isn’t just full of the coolest marketers you know, we’re also gamers, too — and we swear that’s just as cool. Here’s what we’ve been playing to get us through the long, boring winter.

Matt — 

I usually stick to League of Legends these days, but only ARAMs which is the All Random, All Mid game mode. Normal League gameplay takes too long. ARAMs are faster and more fun. I’ve recently gotten back into Battlefield 2042. Dice and EA have made huge leaps since the game’s release last year.

Josh — 

I recently found that video games, in a sense, are like directing your own movie. I love watching shows and film, but games never struck me as interesting. They seemed tedious. Yet, one game has changed my mind. Ghost of Tsushima has become one of the most enthralling games I’ve come across. Like Red Dead Redemption for the samurai, this game takes you in right from the start. Exceptional graphics, great dialogue, and awesome history abounds. 10/10 would recommend. Also… Luigi’s Mansion.

Summer — 

Horizon: Forbidden West is the obvious standout for me. I have nothing to say about it that hasn’t already been said a million times — but it’s just too good. Very excited for the many upcoming releases in 2023, especially Destiny 2: Lightfall and Hogwarts Legacy!

Kickin' it around Indy

Damn good baked goods at your local farmer’s market — Bake Sale Indy is one of our latest clients here at Kicks, and they’ll soon be one of your favorite stops for bread and pastries. Catch them at the Broad Ripple every Saturday AM and at the SoBro Farmer’s Market every Wednesday PM.

Monster Jam, Feb 4–5 — SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY (and Saturday, too)! See monster trucks crash, bash and trash each other at Lucas Oil Stadium during the Monster Jam tour’s annual stop in downtown Indy.

Oh crap it’s almost Valentine’s Day, Feb 14 — Yeah, we forgot too, but there’s still time to make reservations for that special someone in your life!
