A year ago this week we jumped out of our agency digs and fired up The Squid. Late nights with Javor, eating sushi with borrowed cold beers, radio-controlled helicopters. A year later and none of that’s changed.

Some old friends wanted in, and some new climbed aboard with little more promise than a common goal of redefining our methods and creative processes (and to not have jobs that totally suck). We are a work in progress - and that’s the best part.

Thanks to Mike, Dan, Amy, Nick, Jason, Jim, Kyle, James, Shea, Tom, Chris, Jennifer, Vic, Jef, Bill, Erin, Chris, Matt, Patrick, Carina, Justin, Mark, Jesse, Brian, Jeremy, Josh, Jen, Susi, Kiss, Alan, Ted, Bill, Philip, Erin, Emily, Leo, Dave, Allison, Phineas, Bob, Jody, Juan, Steve, Anj, Thomas, Kurt, Frida, Zac, Mike, and all those whose name we have egregiously overlooked.

We hope to roll out some pretty great news soon. In the interim - here’s our original blog from week one of last year. No cops this week, but exciting no less.
