I’ve worked with some interesting and diverse clients in my career, like rock star Stewart Copeland (of The Police), the atom smashing super-conducting super collider, mega-casino resorts, a famous footwear company and a beloved coffee creamer brand, to name a few – but none more fulfilling than my alma mater, TCU.
I vividly remember, while a student there, trying (and failing) to get an internship at the advertising firm led by a big TCU alum. Fast forward to our recent move to new offices where, in the process, we unpacked more than a decade’s worth of creative campaigns done for Horned Frogs football, basketball, baseball, The Frog Club and recruiting departments…truly a visual case study that captures the spirit of the TCU brand.

The consistency of the messaging and graphics are a testament to our close collaboration with the client’s marketing team and the passion our team pours into the process. It’s a highly decorated compendium, with business results, creative awards and peer recognition to its credit.

That, alone, makes it a great account. But in the end, for me (a guy who bleeds purple and bursts with Horned Frog pride), the work we’ve accomplished is really its own, greatest, reward. Here’s a sampling of some of our work:
