Who We Are

Helen

Our Right Brain
Advertising’s Original Leading Lady

Gertrude

Cox

Our Left Brain
The “First Lady of Statistics”

We rely on both sides of our brains to function.

The left is all about logic, using facts and problem-solving to act in the most efficient and effective way possible. And the right is the go-to side for creativity, where imagination and innovation thrive. That leaves us wondering, “Why should advertising be any different?”That’s why we use data and insights to inform every step of our process. While other agencies believe in a creative- or media-first approach, we believe that creative and media cannot successfully exist without an equal balance of each other. Breaking down these silos is what allows us to build branded content and campaigns that work hardest for you.
