Congratulations, Slingshot

You just hired one of the few remaining creatives in the industry.

It's hard to keep thinking there are such things as unicorns when so many times you're told "no." It's easy enough to settle for a real and tangible horse after such rejection. But here's a guy who turns a deaf ear to the No-ers and the Shushers and anyone else who doesn't want to hear his off-the-wall theories on modern-day branding.

He's the one who, despite everything and everyone, will continue to believe that unicorns exist and the ad industry will be better because of it. He's the one who refuses to become another cynic-casualty of the advertising industry. The one who just won't settle for a horse when he knows there are unicorns to be had.

It's high time we all took a walk in a field.

Welcome to Dallas, Mr. Wood.

Ooooooooooh snap. I might have to go sit in a dark room to think about this one, but it looks like Dallas is moving up. (No offense to anyone already there... Dana, but, you know, it's Peter Wood.)
