Nice to Meet You!

We’re Melissa and André Yandow, a husband and wife duo that specialize in thinking outside of the box. Two cats, one dog, and a baby have us coming up with unique solutions on the regular—and we also bring that to the table professionally. With over 20 years of combined marketing + agency experience working with powerhouse brands such as Universal Studios, Disney, Starbucks, and Kroger; we’re a small but mighty core team backed by a garden of trusted creative pros.

That means you get in-house energy with more flexibility—and more focus on you than a big agency ever could.
