We’ve been rocking the scene for over 40 years, representing over 600 companies at fairs, festivals, events, and popular venues nationwide. We combine smart strategy, creativity, and savvy marketing with face-to-face interaction to amp up consumer engagement. We love to make things happen and bring our clients’ event and outreach goals to life!

WAIT, ARE WE BEST FRIENDS!?

The kind of people you'll actually like working with

Our team consistently goes the extra mile to deliver exceptional results for our clients. Whatever you need, we’ll figure it out and won’t let things slip through the cracks. You can count on us. It’s not uncommon for us to become close friends with our clients because we invest in more than just projects – we invest in relationships. We take pride in going above and beyond, not just because it’s good for business but because it’s who we are.

We’re not afraid to do whatever it takes to get the job done, even if it means braving 30 mph winds just to show off our cool office at the Smith Brothers’ Hardware Building. Our team doesn’t just work hard; we believe in making work fun. Even the wind can’t blow away the enthusiasm we bring to every project. Our work is not just a project; it’s an experience—one that’s memorable, quirky, and a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence.

Core Values

Because what we value shines through how we work and the people we work with. In no particular order, we are masters in the details. Attention to the specifics of our client work ensures nothing falls through the cracks. Our team is dynamic. Everyone wears multiple hats and has expertise in a few specialized areas, which makes us unmatched when it comes to our competition and getting the job done. Each of us brings a variety of skills to the work we perform. We’re also an intuitive group that thinks about everything so that events go off without a hitch. The dedication and responsibility our team brings means we’re reliable, which is crazy important when you need people to show up to represent your brand. And no matter the challenge, we’ll figure it out so that you can trust us for success.

Street Team

HIGHLY TRAINED AND ON BRAND

Street teams are highly effective marketing vehicles to reach a targeted audience and focus on one-to-one brand messaging, resulting in consumer activation. Our Brand Ambassadors are dedicated in-house employees and contractors of our agency as opposed to being hired out by a third-party staffing company. Many have been with our agency for decades, which speaks to their commitment to what we do.
