Where business professionalism meets fun and games!
Professional. Strategic. Occasionally unhinged.
Exactly how good marketing should be.
A semi-kind-of-regular peek inside the beautifully chaotic conversations that fuel our work—the squirrel-chasing tangents, rabbit-hole deep dive moments that happen somewhere between strategy decks and actually knowing what we’re doing—where chaos and cleverness hold hands and skip.
Consider this your backstage pass to the thinking that keeps us from sounding like every other agency—and keeps you partnered with people who take your goals seriously, but not themselves. Sure, data drives the decisions—but vibes, memes, and gut feelings are absolutely riding shotgun.
An actual recent conversation:
Chris: Biggest question coming out of our recent visit: is Candlebox a one-hit wonder? Yes or no?
Beth: Wow, we spend how much of our expense account for that? I might need to audit our trips?!
Lindsay: Whoa, Beth, it’s an important question that needs serious contemplation
Chris: Just goes to show you how productive our meetings were… JK, we got a lot out of it. For real
Jackie: you can’t put a price on bonding and/or debating musical preferences with a client….it’s paramount.
Chris: Or fighting with Aaron about this for 3 days. Priceless
Will: Jackie’s right. however… I would love to see what happens if Beth starts asking Aaron and Jeremy for receipts
John (as Morgan Freeman): “You know, life has a funny way of teaching us things we never thought we’d learn. For Chris, it happened on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. He’d spent years believing Dave Matthews was the pinnacle of musical artistry—those soft strums, those winding lyrics. But then… then came Candlebox. It wasn’t loud, it wasn’t brash. It was honest. Raw. Like the sound of truth echoing through a canyon. And in that moment, Chris understood something profound: sometimes, the things we think are great… well, they’re just good. And the things we overlook? They’re the ones that change us. Candlebox didn’t just play music that day. They played Chris’s soul. And he never looked back.”
So now, the question is yours:
Is Candlebox a one-hit wonder? Yes or no?
