VERB

We’re overjoyed to share that we’ve made Ad Age’s Agency A-List yet again! ????We told you we’re in our show up and show out era! What have we been up to since making the list last year: Growing our squad. Glowing up our look. Judging you (on juries, of course). Creating jaw-dropping experiences inspired by your favorite films, toys and celeb obsession. And dropping subversive stunts with furries and food porn peep shows that the internet went wild for. You could say we’ve been on a winning streak too. While we’re proud of the shiny trophies, our greatest achievement is creating experiences that leave every client's audience feeling seen, heard, connected, and straight up obsessed when they experience our work. That’s the VERB effect!

We’re not saying we have a type… but we do have a thing for recognizing marketing that actually works. ?? From setting the bar to judging the best in the game, co-founders Shannon Jones and Yadira Harrison are stepping into the judge’s seat for some of the most prestigious industry awards. With their eye for innovation, impact, and intention to detail, they’ll be helping to select the best of the best in global marketing. Here’s what’s on their radar: ?? The boldest ideas and smartest strategies ?? Culture-shifting collaborations that truly move the needle ?? Campaigns that don’t just talk, but deliver results Good luck to everyone bringing their A-game. ??

When we look to the future of the #advertisingandmarketing industry, we’re always working to make a better place for the next generation of talent. ?? That means taking every opportunity to share. No silver spoons, just gold bars for those willing to bring the bold. So when Breaking and Entering Media reached out to hear how our co-founder Shannon Jones broke into the industry for their Indie Week Series, we said: GET HER A MIC. It starts with knowing how to get attention in a saturated industry (don’t do what everyone else is doing.) Don’t limit yourself to get niched-in (sticking to your ethos will give you runway to grow.) And (of course) if you don’t see what you want to see out there, never be afraid to bet on yourself and do your own thing. Check out the full #podcast convo with Geno Schellenberger ???? https://bit.ly/3D3TeWN Bonus content: find out Shannon’s sleeper karaoke song…any guesses? Anyone in our network want to chime in with your own advice on getting started in the industry? Drop your takes below. As always, the spicier the better. ??

It's official...I'm waking up from my Q1 hibernation for #SXSW2025. I wasn’t planning to be outside until Q2 when I officially come alive, but here we are descending on Austin for #SXSW. ?? I’ll be there supporting Shannon Jones as she takes the stage for Brand Innovators on March 8, dropping gems on disruptive brand strategies. And of course, Kelle Coleman and I will be in the mix from the 6th-10th, stirring things up in the best way. If you’re around and want to link up, tag me — let’s make some moves (or at least find the best queso and margaritas Austin has to offer). #GoodVERBSOnly

Who else is SXSW-bound? I’m joining Brand Innovators for a panel on purpose-driven strategies for disruptive brands alongside Melanie Masarin, Ben Mand, Tim Huelskamp and Samantha Owen. You can catch us March 8th @ 4:15PM at Lamberts. Brands that truly disrupt have a deep understanding of who they are and what they bring to the table. That clarity is what makes audiences feel seen and valued, taking them followers to obsessed brand fans. Can’t wait to dig into how visionary brand leaders translate purpose into action, craft unforgettable experiences, and break through in crowded markets (plus I love a challenger brand). What’s the most exciting thing happening at #SXSW2025 that’s on your radar? I’m always on the lookout for the must sees. Cue Cowboy Carter on repeat. See you in Austin! #GoodVERBSOnly
