Our model combines the three essentials of modern marketing – Story, Design and Technology – and weaves them together at the genetic level. So we have all the capabilities you’d expect in a modern full-service agency but in a leaner, more nimble body. Every day, we engage consumers in a way that makes them click all the right buttons on their way down the digital sales funnel.

ELISA SILVA

PARTNER, MANAGING DIRECTOR

Elisa built film sets before the siren song of Oregon and the curiosity of an office called. At Wieden+Kennedy, she was the account lead on campaigns for Starbucks, Coke, Diet Coke, and Target. She also helped relaunch Levi’s, won Lion for Coraline, and was published in MAD Magazine. At 72andSunny LA, Elisa worked on Anheuser-Busch, Activision, and Target before moving east. In New York, she led business for JWT (Nestle), Translation (Sprite), Barton F. Graf (Little Caesars, Snyder’s-Lance) and SS+K, where she oversaw clients and culture. Elisa returned home in the Fall of 2019 and worked with Samsung Mobile to build up its Marketing and Content Studio teams before becoming a Monster. Elisa studied film at Rice University and Theology in Dublin, where she was a social worker with at-risk youth and the homeless. She’s obsessed with penmanship, has bad tattoos with good stories, and thinks girls can play football and drums if they want to.
