Venables Bell and Partners

This holiday season, defy tradition with Opendoor’s Turducken of Offers. Many thanks to ADWEEK for the coverage!

Many thanks to?Fast Company?and Senior Staff Editor?Jeff Beer?for the great story on the Scout Motors launch! Read Scout CEO and President Scott Keogh, and our own Paul Venables’ perspective on the company and brand opportunities ahead and why Paul calls this “an assignment of a lifetime.”?

Today was a long time in the making. From the first meeting to the first pitch and every waking minute since, we’ve been all in. The opportunity to bring back an American icon is an opportunity that doesn’t come around every day. And it’s truly been a labor of love. Because Scout isn’t just another storied brand, it was the original off-roader;? the precursor to every modern SUV on the road today. For us, this is about more than launching a splashy new ad campaign, this is about launching a new brand from the dirt up, a new company and two all-new rugged trucks and SUVs, Scout? Traveler? SUV and the Scout? Terra? truck. To do it arm-in-arm, every step of the way, with such a passionate, dedicated, collaborative team at Scout Motors Inc. has renewed our faith not just in our industry, but all industries. This is a true American comeback story. And we’re just getting warmed up.

We couldn’t be prouder to partner with Scout Motors as they introduce the next generation of Scout vehicles and revitalize the iconic American brand. Many thanks to Ad Age and E.J. Schultz for covering this news, the unveiling of Scout’s two production-intent concept vehicles, and the launch of our new brand campaign, Scouts Always Come Back. Onward we go!

Chipotle has just launched the latest installment of its Real Food for Real Athletes platform, this time featuring basketball star and superfan Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Edwards shares how he had to get real about his training and diet to become the incredible talent he is today.

Today sadly marks the last day for our hometown #OaklandAthletics at the #OaklandColiseum (right before they move to Vegas, but not before they move to Sacramento). It’s a classic double move that we and our clients at Opendoor couldn’t let go by without some friendly ribbing.

We're #hiring a Senior Strategist to join our team!

We’re #hiring. Currently looking for a New Business Director. Know anyone who might be interested?
