BUCK

We are proud to announce that after twenty years of creative innovation, BUCK has officially achieved B Corp status! This significant milestone underscores our steadfast commitment to both people and planet. In partnership with B Lab, we underwent a thorough evaluation, scrutinizing every aspect of our operational practices and their impacts to uphold rigorous social and environmental performance standards, accountability, and transparency. Our B Corp certification symbolizes our dedication to using business as a force for good as we design our collective futures. We are excited to continue making meaningful advancements year after year. https://lnkd.in/ehvJdtff

Last week, we held our second annual Strategy Speakeasy, hosted by Residence in our LA office. Bringing together 120 creatives and strategists to share and showcase the power of collaborative partnership proved to be an insightful and delightful evening for us all!

A special shout out to our speakers and panelists for sharing their expert perspectives: Alex Ilten, Camille Chu, Carl Mueller, Dave Ladd, Evan Boehm, Kasia Galla, Lauren Smith, Megan Askew, Michael Lee, Samuel R. Clarke, Sam Howard, Tina Surelia, and our moderator Marla Moore.

Who says San Diego can’t get dark? At Comic Con this year, we brought a touch of Gotham to the sunny streets. The Iceberg Descent was both a teaser for The Penguin and an invitation to step into the gangster’s world through a grimy alley and rattling elevator. From the rain-soaked streets to the ominous flicker of old TVs, each step pulled visitors deeper into the underbelly of Gotham. The descent ended in a suspense-filled elevator ride, leaving guests right where we wanted them—in the depths of the Iceberg Lounge. #thepenguin #immersive
