Big Wednesday is the day you decide to distinguish yourself from everybody else or fade into the crowd. As an agency we aim to distinguish, most importantly our client’s brands, but ourselves as well. There are a lot of ways to go about this. Some are tried and tested while others are new and have never been seen before. We think it’s smart to consider them all. By definition, we’re a through-the-line agency but we’d rather not be. That makes us sounds like everybody else and we’re not so into that.
