Happy ARVOversary
FROM THE VAULT: March 13, 2015
There was a time when, at FutureBrand, everyone seemed to be a new employee AND a new employee from Siegel+Gale. But as we’ve grown and grown-up, the miles are starting to collect on our proverbial tires…
Jim and Sven celebrate their 5-year FutureBrand anniversary this Sunday, March 15th. With all the early morning Patrick Smith phone calls and late night Chris Nurko firestorms they’ve endured during this time, it’s amazing how thin and non-gray-haired they’ve remained!
Not only is Scott Williams still alive, he celebrated his 10-year FutureBrand anniversary on February 9th. He’s survived by becoming the potent potable equivalent of the 6 Million Dollar Man. A quick look under his hood and you’ll find 75% vodka coupled with 25% go-to guidelines specialist. But we’re hoping those numbers even out after next week’s CH2M launch.
In a few months, Lloyd will hit his 5-year FutureBrand anniversary. But he’d like you to know that with how busy he was last year with Pitney Bowes, it really should count as his 6th anniversary.
Sung will hit 7 years. Mark will hit 8. Brian Shu’s about to hit 9. Even our young bucks are getting a little long in the tooth. This year finds Amanda, Camilla and Veronique celebrating their fifth anniversaries!
But no one even comes close to the Cal Ripken of FutureBrand. The man who joined FutureBrand a good eight years before FutureBrand became FutureBrand. The man who, on June 1st of this year, will celebrate his whopping 25th anniversary.
Screw the goat and screw the sheep…we hereby proclaim 2015 to be the year of Tom Li!
Ladies and gentleman of FutureBrand, let’s start the celebration in the best way we know how. Pencils down at 6pm and mosey across the street to Crimson & Rye in the lobby of the Lipstick Building. There we kickoff the silver anniversary year of Tom Li’s awesomeness. We will toast to Malozzi’s unborn son, who as of tomorrow, is officially on the clock for being born. We will welcome the world’s oldest living intern Andi back into our dysfunctional clutches. And we will wave adieu to the Mad Max Thunderdome style scaffolding that FINALLY came down from around our building.
