We turn routine into revelation.
When you have a fearless approach to problem solving, you often create solutions that are unconventional. That’s the best way to cut through today’s media noise, by creating surprise. Unexpected solutions delight the mind and can reduce skepticism in an audience. That’s why we do things like drive Zambonis down city streets. Or bring cameras into operating rooms. We even turned NFL star Richard Sherman into a human scavenger hunt. In short, unexpected is unforgettable.
