In one word, it’s why we do what we do. It’s why we believe in creativity. We believe the freshest, boldest, most attention-getting, impactful ideas we can possibly imagine are exactly the kinds of ideas that are most likely to produce results — at the Effies, at the Clios, at the cash register. We believe in the left brain. We believe in the right brain. We don’t put much stock in either-or. We believe our value derives directly from our passionate commitment to giving our clients the best of both. Creativity. And accountability. Proven results. Social currency is nice. Hard currency keeps the lights on. It’s about that simple. One result of that approach is that our client relationships tend to last a little longer. The six clients who are with us here this evening, for example, have been with us for an average of 38 years. Another result is that tomorrow morning we get the opportunity to roll up our sleeves and recommit ourselves to generating results for every client on our roster like it’s nobody else’s business. The most effective agency in America six years in a row.
