Lindsay’s knack of being able to see things through the eyes of our clients, ask probing questions that get to the heart of each objective and corresponding tactic, and the ability to weave strategies seamlessly across multiple platforms make her an invaluable resource during the brainstorming process.
So how does she get into the zone and tempt inspiration? Continue reading →
A big thanks to \in-dúlj\‘s Dave Payne (@ATLMediaGuy) for giving us the opportunity to sample six varieties of cookies and “Cravin’ Corn.” The B|G crew jumped into our taste test and review party with gusto, the results have been tallied and we’re ready to share (the results that is, we’re keeping the food.) ^_^
