On the home front, we've been opening doors with internationally-renowned and locally-based advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy. We've given them a hand with a few fun projects and helped in the celebration of their selection as Adweek's "Global Agency of the Year" in 2007. We hope these projects, and others in the works, will form the basis of an ongoing and fruitful relationship between our respective companies.
Our website is being revamped, and will debut a sleek new look in February 2008, thanks to the talented Brennan Novak of Reverse Productions. Keep checking back to see the changes in action!
For those of you who haven't stopped by in person recently, you're in for one big surprise, thanks to an October renovation that expanded our office to two suites! The new layout is beautiful and spacious, giving us additional space for auditions, interviews, workshops and more.
