Heres a recap of our annual holiday lunch. This year we tried Reposado a California infused Mexican restaurant about a block away from our office. We had good food, great cocktails, and we finished by doing our infamous gag-gift exchange. Every year we try to top last year's purchases—this year we did a pretty good job. Check out the photos below of some of the crazy presents. Read more

Last month, the Palo Alto office went to join in on all the excitement at the Xercise Lab® Grand opening. We were welcomed by their friendly and energetic staff and a few of us even tried a free class. Xercise Lab owner, Jenny Rowe, has such a drive and passion it's no surprise that she and her team had a truly successful weekend. We've been working closely with Jenny since she came to us to design the Xercise Lab logo in the fall of last year and have been so impressed with how she’s made her vision a reality. Together we have created a complete brand platform from the logo and website to packaging and tote bags. Read more
Our very own Lauren Brooks is getting ready to pop and lucky for us we have another excuse to throw a party. We invited her husband, Oscar, along with some friends of Michael Patrick Partners to surprise Lauren.

Meet Ray. He’s our summer intern. Ray is a junior studying public relations and psychology at Villanova University and he will be helping us with market research and social media development, like our Facebook and Twitter pages. He enjoys public relations because he understands that there isn’t just one right way to create a message. He likes the challenge of taking different opinions and establishing a message that is fully accessible to the public. His fascination with people led him to psychology. Ray loves people, people love Ray.
