Kendrick Lamar's pgLang launches a new creative agency
When Kendrick Lamar and his longtime creative and business partner Dave Free launched pgLang in 2020, it was under the banner of an 'at service company' for creatives. It was an enticing, if somewhat mysterious, modus operandi that led to inquiries in droves. However, the pgLang team quickly realized they didn't have the infrastructure to offer their services broadly. In the beginning, there were more internal projects including producing Lamar's music videos and concerts, as well as a smattering of brand work with the likes of Cash App, Chanel, Calvin Klein, and Gatorade. But they didn't have the bandwidth to operate at scale. Five years later, they do. Project 3 is a new venture within pgLang designed to expand creative resources for businesses. And under the umbrella of Project 3, sits Project 3 Agency, a full-service agency providing creative direction, content creation, production services, brand design and strategy. The creation of Project 3 Agency was powered in large part from the acquisition of international creative studio Frosty, a frequent collaborator of pgLang's over the years. 'For us, it was like, how do we build foundational structures for the business so [we] can last longterm versus trying to do too much at once and being bogged down,' says Free, cofounder of pgLang, on the five-year road to Project 3. 'And as we developed [pgLang], we didn't want to alienate ourselves from commercial business. We wanted to figure out a way to walk hand-in-hand with these companies and give them information, but also learn as we're working with these companies.' To be sure, pgLang has already been producing work for brands. In fact, they scooped six Cannes Lions Awards, including Independent Agency of the Year, in 2023. While pgLang can be considered the parent company overseeing and aligning all external ventures under a unified vision, the creation of Project 3 and Project 3 Agency allows the teams to direct their focus solely toward other companies. And in those efforts, they feel uniquely positioned to fill a void in the creative agency industry. 'We see brands now, and one mistake can have you questioning your existence or the audience questioning your purpose,' says Cornell Brown, an executive at pgLang and Project 3. 'For us, there is a confidence that we can bring to this. We have tentacles in so many places: touring, music, when we're creating merch, when we're creating art—we have so many inputs that there's a confidence that comes from seeing all of that around you.' Both Free and Brown see Project 3's superpower in helping brands rediscover or, in some instances find for the first time, their true story and purpose. That ethos is baked into the name of the company as Project 3 is a nod to the three pillars of storytelling: the beginning, middle, and end. 'Brands who will utilize us best are gonna be the ones who aren't coming for a one-off campaign,' Brown says. 'They're coming to us to realign strategy and to align them with their purpose.' 'We were seeing companies we admired, but the storytelling was lackluster,' Free adds. 'And a lot of it is because the agency motto became a turnover business of more, more, more. Sometimes that's great, you need that. But [the storytelling] also has to help people. It has to change the world. It has to latch onto people.' Free notes there's no desire for 'infinite growth' with Project 3. He wants the company to scale, but at a pace that puts quality well over quantity to ensure the work aligns with their 'purpose and integrity.' 'That's gonna be the marker of how successful this can be because I just don't see us doing anything with anyone,' Free says. 'We are definitely going for a more premium approach.' The goal, as Free explains, is to give brands a foundation for longterm success. 'When I look at a brand, I'm not thinking about how to get them to the next quarter,' he says. 'I'm thinking about how to get them to the next 10 years. I'm trying to make the best thing that they've had that becomes reference material for all the companies.' When pgLang launched in 2020, it was very clear there was a desire to have roots across the creative spectrum. 'We're going to touch every facet of culture,' Free says. They're starting with Project 3 to build up the commercial side of their business, and to learn from the brands they work with (how they function, why they make the decisions they do, etc.) which can inform other aspects of where pgLang will expand next—the graphic above providing perhaps a hint of at least how many areas pgLang and Project 3 may go into. 'We know the trajectory,' Free says of pgLang's future. 'But it's going to take time, and we're going to give every piece its own space in its own light. Right now the agency is the foundation that helps set the standard for these other services that we're going to offer.'

Got $2,500? Avoid These 3 Cryptocurrencies and Don't Look Back
Key Points Your investments need to have a plausible mechanism for gaining in value. Hope is not a mechanism. The same goes for unimplemented plans or promises. 10 stocks we like better than Dogecoin › If the story behind a crypto coin boils down to a punchline, a cult of personality, or a poorly defined promise to be part of the future of finance, it's time to consider walking away. Over the long term, markets reward scarce assets that solve real problems, not social media spectacles. Today's crypto landscape is littered with distractions, but three names in particular stand out, and largely for all the wrong reasons: Dogecoin, (CRYPTO: DOGE) Shiba Inu, (CRYPTO: SHIB) and Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA). Two of these names offer plenty of excitement, but none offers a convincing potential for risk-adjusted payoff for patient investors, and they aren't worth investing even a moderate sum of $2,500. Memes often don't age very well Memes can move prices, but they rarely build durable value, and this issue is front and center for meme coins for obvious reasons. Dogecoin's branding relies on a combination of jokes from yesteryear and celebrity whims. Posts from Elon Musk -- the self-proclaimed "Dogefather" -- have historically had a habit of sparking double-digit moves. Yet its fundamentals remain absent. In fact, the few fundamentals that there are to analyze, like its circulating supply, are unfavorable, as the coin is inflationary by its design, meaning that new supply is steadily issued. That unlimited inflation puts a ceiling on scarcity, which is exactly the opposite situation of what long-horizon investors need. Similarly, Shiba Inu's pitch isn't scarcity either, despite what some would tell you. Holders trumpet high token burning rates, but even the most intensive recent burning periods wiped out less than 0.00002% of supply, and the price still sagged. There's no reliable mechanism to burn tokens built into the coin, so all burning is voluntary. Would you be willing to literally light your money on fire to prop up a token's reputation? Probably not, and very few others are consistently willing to do it either. Could either meme coin go "to the moon" again? Sure, anything can happen, and in the long run, probably there will be a confluence of sentiment and permissive macroeconomic and liquidity conditions that will make these coins run, at least temporarily. But buying these assets and hoping for that outcome is not a prudent use of your capital, and your odds of successfully timing the market are low. Cardano is having trouble gaining ground Cardano is basically the opposite of a meme coin in that it attempts to ground its tech development cycle heavily in peer-reviewed research, community consensus-building, and incremental upgrades that don't break functionality. It's a serious blockchain that's built and maintained by skilled developers. On paper, the chain looks sleek. It's faster and cheaper than Ethereum on average. But in practice, usage is thin. The chain hosts barely $361 million in total value locked (TVL). Its stablecoins are, by the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector's standards, barely liquid, with just $32 million in value. Its number of active wallets demonstrates the impact of the issue here. Roughly 28,000 addresses moved the coin in the 24 hours ending at noon on July 25, a rounding error next to Ethereum's daily user counts. Meanwhile, the DeFi share of Cardano's total value hovers around 0.3% of the sector -- it's practically nobody's first, second, or third choice for developing or using DeFi applications. Nothing inherently prevents Cardano from catching up over the next few years, and its roadmap is full of scaling and governance milestones that might help it along. The problem is time. Thanks to the chain's enduring focus on carefully planned and largely democratically conceived and community-implemented upgrades, each potential upgrade slips further into the future as researchers pursue perfection, and rival chains keep hoovering up developers, liquidity, and attention. Investors betting on a Cardano renaissance must thus assume competitors will stand still, and they almost never do. If anything, they've lapped the chain in critical segments like on-chain AI agents and stablecoins, not to mention many others. In theory, the network's academic rigor could pay off years down the line. In practice, capital tied up for "the next couple of years" earns no yield and faces real opportunity cost while faster networks already monetize users. In short, Cardano is still searching for product-market fit. If you've got only $2,500 to allocate, look for assets that are scarce, widely used, and generating revenue. Cardano, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu aren't there yet, and they may never be. Should you buy stock in Dogecoin right now?
