Common Discourse

Common Discourse is a newsletter designed to help others (and myself) think through the pursuit of creativity, business, and culture.

Most Tuesdays, I publish a Weekly Briefing with a few ideas, a quote from somebody else, and links worth sharing. On Fridays, I invite a guest to share images from their camera roll and a sound. Additionally, I’ll write longer form pieces with observations on what’s happening in the world.

I am a Partner, Co-Founder and Director of Creative Strategy at Mouthwash Studio. As a writer, researcher, and creative thinker, I’ve spent the last decade helping brands develop creative ways of communicating that are clear and relevant to the people who will encounter them.

I made this project initially to help myself think through the pursuit of creativity and found out quickly that most people were on a similar path.

Common Discourse is a free publication. Your encouragement keeps it going.

If there’s something you think I should cover or if you want to work with me, send me an email: jalexandertan@gmail.com.
