Favorite Client Moment: Watching our team present an audio-visual presentation that we had spent months perfecting, we wanted to add just the right amount of humor and joy to the content without overshadowing the key details. Hearing a room full of stakeholders thoughtfully engage, and then break out in laughter just when we intended the comedic relief to hit, was all the validation we needed for a job well done.
