ABOUT US
ABOUT US
IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU.
We’re a trio of sharp minds and scrappy hearts. Big on ideas, light on layers and built to flex. We met the old-fashioned way, at a big agency. Spoiler alert, we thought there was better way.
We work like an extension of your team: listening hard, thinking smart and occasionally overthinking so you don’t have to. By blending AI with human taste, we cut the tedious stuff and spend more time on what matters, ideas that move people. Always collaborative, always clear, always up for a challenge.
A BIT OF FLATTERY.
A BIT OF FLATTERY.
“They make a dollar look like ten. And I never wondered if they’d deliver—just which killer option to pick.”
“They listen, give ideas their due consideration and bring fresh surprising ideas every time.”
“t’s rare to find a partner that excels in both strategic and creative work, even though a lot of agencies say that.”

ROHINI SAHNI
Director of Strategy/Planning
Full-time strategist. Part-time creative whisperer. Occasional hammer.
With Texan roots and a New York edge, Rohini brings 17+ years of experience turning cultural insight into brand action. Honest, sharp, and fueled by curiosity (and a bit of sarcasm), she’s as comfortable in the boardroom as she is sparring with creatives.
She started in research and consulting, sharpened her planning skills in advertising, and has since led strategy for global icons including Jergens, John Frieda, Maybelline New York, Lindt, Rodan + Fields and a suite of P&G brands like Olay and Iams.
