Such a great team and what a loss to the agency! Highly talented and very supportive of the production partners they work with.
Once again, the Covid-19 scythe continues to wreak havoc across the industry, adding to the unfortunate human cost of this economic depression.
When is all this going to end? This is truly history unfolding folks.
Good luck boys
Possibly the nicest, most talented CDs I’ve ever had the pleasure of working for. Looking forward to seeing where you move.
Sorry to see you go guys. Such lovely, talented humans. Wishing you the best of luck.
