Way back in 2003, Andrew was an Art Director at the well respected digital agency Freestyle Interactive. In what turned out to be a stroke of sheer genius, he decided to approve of hiring Chris as a Copywriter. Thus began a partnership that has endured longer than we're willing to admit to most.
The great thing about being a team is we push each other. Not literally (well, perhaps on occasion), but mentally. We push each other to think bigger. We question each other. We hone and craft concepts until they are dead-on strategically and pack a powerful creative punch.
Like any long relationship, we've had our ups and downs. But mostly ups. Come to think of it, the only downs were when we repeatedly got food poisoning at a burrito place we won't name here. The ups? Winning tons of pitches, upselling bunches of work to clients, making lots of award winning work, and meeting Hines Ward (ok, Andrew might not agree with that one).
Now, after 14 years of being at agencies full time, we're offering our wares to the advertising community. We'd love to help you out with your next big pitch, client project, or whatever it is you need creative help with. So get in touch - if you do, we'll tell you the name of that burrito joint.
