FROM THE CLIENT

Four years ago, we made the difficult and wrenching decision to move our headquarters after 60 years in Palm Beach, Florida across the country to Frisco, Texas.  Obviously, we needed to get it right, to establish the right messaging, the right positive vibe and over time to realize a proper return on our investment.  We were very impressed with Advent’s presentation/ideas and ultimately put a lot of trust in them to deliver on their promises and our dreams. They did enormous diligence, really listened to what we were saying and were looking to achieve. Their final ideas were fresh and powerful takes on our hopes and dreams.  They took the time to truly understand us, our goals, our business, our mission, our stakeholders, our game, and the community.  Then they used their creativity to truly make our building, the entire campus, and importantly us as an association come alive. The real beauty of their work was that they somehow took all these somewhat intersecting desires/goals/soundbites and turned those random thoughts into a symphony of messaging and a physical representation of who we are, and what we are all about.
In short, they turned our building into our home. —Seth Waugh, CEO
