			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like an amorous high schooler (but less creepy), I occasionally run across companies that I develop a severe business crush on.</p>
<p><a href="www.brainsonfire.com"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.fastcompany.com/files/BOF.jpg" alt="" width="235" height="237" /></a>My latest company crush is on a Greenville, South Carolina <a href="http://www.brainsonfire.com/index.aspx" target="_blank">identity and branding company called Brains on Fire</a>.  I am obsessed with the culture that they&#8217;ve created and enamored with the fact that their website shows that culture and personality.  [I especially like their <a href="http://www.brainsonfire.com/published.aspx?cat=3#" target="_blank">Tequila Shots book</a> which explains the 12 company beliefs; imagine a mission statement minus the boring undertones].</p>
<p>I know that I have this business crush when I think</p>
<p>1.  I want our company to be like that, or</p>
<p>2.  If I wasn&#8217;t having <a href="http://gibsondesignmanagement.com/about-us/the-team/" target="_blank">so much fun working with my team</a>, I would want to work for theirs, or</p>
<p><span id="more-1279"></span></p>
<p>3.  I want to be their client because I want to <a href="http://www.brainsonfire.com/individualOverview.aspx" target="_blank">hang out with them</a>.  [Pay for friends?  Hmm, they must be that good].</p>
<p>In the Brains on Fire case, all 3 fit the bill.  Is this crush actually business love????!</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/mandaleebee" target="_blank">Amanda Butterworth, our Director, Creative Services</a>, was lucky enough to meet <a href="http://www.brainsonfire.com/people.aspx?id=28,3">Spike Jones, one of BOF&#8217;s Firestarters</a>, and she said that Spike epitomizes the brand.  It&#8217;s always good to know that your business crush is not just smoke and mirrors.</p>
<p>Now that I&#8217;ve aired my crush to the world&#8230;Who is your business crush?</p>
