ORIGIN STORY

One Day in London...

A creative expert, a marketing guru and a clever strategist walked into a pub, talking about how hard it was to find a firm that combined global insights and wide-ranging expertise with strong return on investment. It wasn’t the first time they’d talked about this challenge.

So, Michelle Calcagni created that firm.

But it Needed a Name

Think about your favorite work memory, a time when you worked with talented people to create amazing solutions while having tremendous fun – do you have a photo of it? We do. Lots of them – take a look!
