Eleven Months Ago

Eleven months ago we did something that was borderline crazy. We quit our nice jobs with established agencies and started our own place from scratch. No firmed-up clients. No big loans to tide us over. Just a gut feeling we could do something special and attract good, smart clients and great employees.

So we scraped together our own money, found an office space and remodeled it ourselves. We started getting phone calls. Then we did some work. And some more. Then we moved the needle for some clients and picked up a few awards along the way. And then we realized we had an even better perspective about the very clients we work with; that succeeding in business is about making borderline crazy decisions every day.

Pat Fallon said it best: “Courage is a process, not an event.” Thanks to our friends and clients who make us feel not-so-crazy eleven months later.
