DISCLAIMERS1. It’s freezing. You’re hungry. We will be quick.

3. All knowledge, no pitch. We promise.

4. Like all agency owners and partners, we recognize the scope and pace of technological and societal changes are causing marketing to undergo almost constant reinvention. That being said, everything we say could or couldn’t apply by tomorrow. But, at least we have this friendly disclaimer that told you so ;).

5. Let’s have a conversation. Interrupt or raise your hand. Don’t worry, we are super friendly.

6. Use the hashtag, but please take a good photo #kthanksbye
