Our Jam
Awards
Everyone Enjoys a
Pat on the Back ✋
As you may have noticed from our jubilation at winning Global Tech Agency of the Year from PRovoke Media.
When it comes to the actual client work, there’s no better affirmation of a job well done than positive words from the client and renewal of the engagement.
The industry recognition serves up the icing on the cake.
We’ve won numerous awards over the years.
Last year alone we took home 18 pieces of hardware for
client work ranging from non-conventional influencer
programs to microsites to thought leadership.
Finally, we want to highlight the critical-path item to our creativity, client approval. We’re fortunate to work with clients with the guts to try something new. We’ve rewarded that trust with work that ultimately helps them stand out.
And us.
