A Reflection on the Last 10 Years

Looking back at the last ten years, it’s amazing to see the growth our clients and team have experienced. The journey has been incredible from bold brand launches and revamps, partnerships with big personalities, larger-than-life creative work, and boosted business thanks to strategically built campaigns.

 

We’ve had the privilege of working on projects that pushed boundaries, drove results, and left lasting impacts. Through triumphs and challenges, we’ve learned, grown, and evolved alongside our clients.

 

We continue to adapt to the ever-shifting marketing landscape and stay true to our core values of transparency, collaboration, and innovation. Today, we’re proud to reflect on a decade of partnership, expertise, and success – and we’re just getting started!

Spotlight: Long-Lasting
Client Relationships

Our agency is built on our client relationships, and we wouldn’t be celebrating ten years without them. We’re highlighting some of the long-lasting client relationships we’ve had the pleasure of innovating and collaborating with over the years. 

  • Birch Gold: In the most competitive industry for endorsement media, we’ve been helping Birch Gold secure marquee talent for the past nine years, including Ben Shapiro, Dan Bongino, Dinesh D’Souza and many more! 
  • The Good Feet Store: We’ve helped drive customers with foot pain to The Good Feet Store in over a dozen markets over the years to help them find relief. 
  • PureTalk: PureTalk did not want to work with an advertising agency after being burned by a previous one. We started small with Mike Gallagher and Dennis Prager. After hitting the lowest CPA of any campaign, we started writing copy for Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh – whose first LIVE spot in 2021 nearly broke the call center! Fast forward to present day, and Mike Rowe is now their brand ambassador on Network TV, unwired Radio Networks and more, representing “a wireless company that actually stands for something”! 
  • Crawl Pros: Before partnering with Happy Hour Media, Crawl Pros cycled through several advertising agencies without much success. Over the years, we’ve helped them gain market share, grow to new markets, and launch several new brands. 
  • Sound Pain Solutions: We’ve helped Sound Pain Solutions become a household name in the PNW for people suffering from chronic pain and seeking an alternative to drugs and surgery.  
  • GENSCO: The largest HVAC distributor in a 5-state region, we’ve built out websites and run campaigns creating top-of-funnel demand for their manufacturers and driving leads to a 500+ dealer network. 
  • FirstMark Insurance: What began as a startup insurance brokerage has evolved into one of the premier insurance companies in Washington State and beyond. Leveraging Story Brand to build a user-focused website, and digital marketing solutions to drive customers – including winning them from major carriers, FirstMark continues to be a phenomenal success story!
