I've always felt the urge to fill the void when others are quiet. I’ve always had a habit of raising my hand when my boss sought a volunteer for a dull, time-consuming project. I just couldn’t handle those moments of complete silence.

I was blown away with their application and translation of behavioral science into practice. They took a very complex ecosystem and created a series of interventions using an innovative mix of the latest research and creative client co-creation. I was so impressed at the final product they created, which was hugely comprehensive despite the large scope of the client being of the world's most far-reaching and best known consumer brands. I'm excited to see what we can create together in the future.
