Small on purpose. Everyone you meet in the pitch is someone who will work on the business.
Why we stayed in one lane
Most firms describe themselves as full-service and mean it as a promise. We think it is usually a warning: a team spread across every category rarely knows any of them well enough to be useful on day one.
We chose food and drink and hospitality and stayed there. It means we can tell a chef what their opening’s press cycle looks like before we have signed anything — and it means we are wrong about it less often.
