What seems like a very long time ago, I walked into a small local advertising agency and asked if they were hiring. There was no job opening. So, they made one up. And that became home - for the next 11 years. I learned more there than I could have imagined when I opened the door that first day. Having left the big NY agencies, the partners brought their own blend of remarkable savvy. But it was the kindness they brought that shone just as much. Yes, the creativity that bubbled over in those small rooms made believers out of some very big clients. But along with clever taglines and spot-on campaigns was also culture of taking great care, not only of the client but of each person who helped make those campaigns happen.
