Take us back to the Lone Star State

Take us back to the Lone Star State

YWe've been busy bees traveling across the country to visit the kind people at GSD&M, The Richards Group and Moroch just in time for Austin AICP Next.

Hands down, it was a great success in 3 days! We had an opportunity to meet great agency folks (like Victor Camozzi GSD&M & the one and only Stan Richards TRG) and catch up with dear pals Gene Brenek, Scott McAfee and Kelly Wood over dinner. 

Now that we are fully recovered from TX, we are gearing up for great things in San Francisco. 

If you're in town Tues or Wed for AICP, hit us up!

We've been certainly busy bees since Fall officially started. Claire & Co had back-to-back lunch meetings with several production teams from Deutsch, Saatchi & MAL this week in preparation for the holidaze. As much as we love working in our beachside office, we absolutely love meeting agency friends for a quick cuppa tea or yummy Pot de Creme from Gjelina more! We even invited fellow EMOTO Music geniuses PB & Paul Schultz to join us in meeting Saatchi's brand spankin' new music producer, Kristen Hosack. Teamwork 🙌
