Deer
Window Cleaner
Quietly stationed in the woods surrounding the agency, this ever-curious deer has taken on the unofficial role of external quality control. With a keen eye for movement and a mysterious understanding of meeting schedules, he’s often spotted peering through the windows, keeping tabs on the creative process from a safe distance.
Known for his impeccable timing and unmatched stillness, he brings a calming presence to the team—occasionally leaving faint nose prints on the glass as a subtle form of feedback. Whether he's grazing nearby or silently judging your font choices, this vigilant forest friend reminds us that even in the fast-paced world of marketing, there’s always time to pause and observe.

Turkey
Menace
Lurking in the brush and making his presence loudly known, this wild turkey brings a bold—if chaotic—energy to the agency’s wooded outskirts. Frequently seen pacing outside the windows and aggressively pecking at the glass, he challenges the team's focus and regularly startles Holly, our Art Director (a dynamic he seems oddly proud of).
Unapologetically vocal and perpetually ruffled, he's less about subtle observation and more about disruptive innovation—though no one’s quite sure what he's protesting. Is it the new logo? The font choices? The lack of bird representation in branding?
Whatever his mission, one thing is clear: he’s watching. And he has notes.
