We Had Promising Law Careers. We Just Liked This Better.
We’re based in Chicago, but we have clients around the country. For some clients, we’re their digital one-stop shop. For others, we step in as needed, kind of like an outside digital counsel solving technology issues and architecting marketing solutions. We’re easy to work with and you won’t find any onerous minimum contract lengths or minimum spend requirements here.

WORK AND PLAY.
Outside of marketing, Dan loves photography, scuba diving, and international travel (he has visited 40 countries on five continents). Ryan is also a huge traveler, loves surfing, and enjoys learning about theoretical physics (which pretty much never comes in handy). After practicing law for two years, Ryan found a passion in marketing and has felt more purpose in his life ever since.
