Did you know that more than 290,000 people in Orange County are at risk of hunger each month? Did you know that more than 112,480 of those risking hunger are children? That means more than 1 in 11 people and about 1 in 7 children are at risk of going hungry every single month, right here in our hometowns. But you have the chance to help close the gap!

All donations will go to Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County.

They have shared that their greatest need for Winter 2019 are the following items:

1. Canned Vegetables, Canned Fruit or Canned Beans
2. Canned Soups or Canned Meals
3. Whole Grain Pasta and Brown Rice
4. Non Perishable Kid-Friendly Canned or Boxed Food Options
5. Personal Care Items like Diapers, Toothbrushes, Toothpaste, and Toilet Paper

This year, Gigasavvy racked up a total of 30 awards for outstanding work across a broad range of clients. Here is some of the 2018 work that earned our team accolades.

Wahoo’s Fish Taco

Question: What happens when you take three brothers bound for law school and introduce SoCal’s surf culture? Answer: The best tacos in Southern California and beyond!

To celebrate Wahoo’s Fish Taco’s 30th anniversary, Gigasavvy created a fully integrated campaign that borrowed from the high-impact aesthetics of ’80s and ’90s surf and skate culture. We designed a series of stickers that reimagine the Wahoo’s logo, and play off the energy and ambiance of the in-store experience. The campaign included print and digital assets, a mini-doc about the brand’s founding, and an engaging social media campaign (even pro skater Tony Hawk joined in!).

Virgin Orbit

As one of the design team’s proudest achievements last year, the Gigasavvy team helped launch the online presence of Virgin Orbit, Richard Branson’s venture in the small satellite industry.

Gigasavvy helped Virgin Orbit deliver on its mission to “Boost Imagination” by creating a dynamic and visually stunning design that incorporates subtle animation and hand-drawn illustrations. Design, development, strategy and client collaborated on a creation that succinctly explains the offering (“We make rocket science look easy!”) and flirts with the playful and provocative Virgin brand.

Cremo Company

There’s nothing like smooth web design to contribute to a satisfyingly comfortable user experience! For client Cremo Company, Gigasavvy won a Gold Addy Award for our sleek, ecommerce-focused web design. The new web design took advantage of Cremo’s recent rebrand and clean new packaging, repositioning the CPG company as a high-end, high-quality, “barber-grade” product.

West Coast University

Gigasavvy won awards for client West Coast University (WCU) with a show-stopping integrated campaign that celebrates the heroism of nurses. The powerful photography and emotionally-charged commercials of the “We are Nurses” campaign subtly communicate the benefits of a WCU nursing degree, while drawing audiences in through a powerful rallying cry that unites nurses and healthcare professionals through a common vision and purpose.

In addition to the comprehensive “We Are Nurses” campaign, West Coast University was also recognized for the “Not for the Weak” commercial spots.

American Career College

Following on the heels of last year’s Addy’s wins, American Career College (ACC) collected an accolade for the broadcast commercial, “In A Single Moment.” The spot shows the life-changing impact – and life-saving potential – of a nursing degree. The powerful narrative continues our strategic use of storytelling to help draw potential students into the ACC brand.

Toshiba

Six years into our agency+client partnership, Gigasavvy produced some of our favorite work to date for client, Toshiba, and the launch of their new Canvio line of hard drive products. In recent years, Toshiba had focused on the business-to-business (B2B) market, but its newest products had a distinct consumer and business-to-professional (B2P) bent. Gigasavvy produced a 60s hero spot on location in Utah that incorporated sweeping landscape views and the adventurous life of a travelling photographer to bring Canvio to life in an aspirational way.

Oakwood

As a global provider of corporate housing solutions, Oakwood was ready for a fresh approach to its promotional strategy. Looking to mitigate seasonal vacancies, they turned to Gigasavvy for an eye-catching campaign to draw in new audiences, without alienating their target demographic of travelling professionals.

The end result – the “Like a Boss” campaign that personified the Oakwood customer as a business professional in charge of their own travel destinations – earned over a 1000% ROI and contributed to an outstanding client/agency partnership. Last year, the campaign won the Most Creative Marketing Award from industry organization, CHPA (Corporate Housing Providers Association).

Our industry never sleeps. Agency life requires marketers to constantly be upping their game to stay in tune with new technology and trends. It is the same for agencies themselves. Agency leaders have to learn and be willing to change in order to help their organizations grow. In the past few years, we’ve seen large companies fold or transform and move away from old models. Agencies, especially independently owned agencies, need to adapt in order to be successful in this modern landscape and Gigasavvy is no different.

With that in mind, we have some pretty big news to share, which you may have seen recently on the cover of the Orange County Business Journal. Newport Beach-based agency Sunday Brunch has joined forces with Gigasavvy.

The Creative Community

Rachel and I met at a co-hosted AAF/ThinkLA event where Rachel was speaking. They quickly bonded over our shared values and commitment to elevating the OC creative community. Several napkin doodles and whiteboard sessions later, they architected the beginnings of a new type of agency.

A Changing Business Model for a Diverse Community

Orange County is home to a varied business community, ranging from international corporations to smaller, more locally-known businesses. While some advertising agencies focus on one type or the other, we asked “why not both?”

After joining forces, Gigasavvy now has two in-house divisions and is able to service both large and small businesses. Without giving away all the “secret sauce,” we’re pleased to share that all-star agency-level support is accessible to clients who would historically have hired freelancers. By having a client roster made up of both large and small companies, Gigasavvy is able to support all sizes of clientele at scale and be our own referral network. We think this new model begins to innovate an industry that is long overdue for it. We’re very proud to focus on  partnering with brands we feel passionate about as opposed to only ones with big pocket books.

Passion Driving Innovation

Gigasavvy remains committed to creating cohesive marketing strategies and helping brands tell a consistent story, which–as insiders know–requires support of a passionate and integrated team.

Our passion is key. It is one of our company pillars, it is one of the things our clients love about us, and it’s something we’re all proud of. You can’t teach passion, but you can cultivate it. We are a group of crazy-talented (and sometimes just plain crazy) marketers who can’t stop, won’t stop. From the youngest to our more seasoned team members, you’ll find most of us are curious with multiple creative interests–many of which align with our clients.

Our perspective also comes from the diversity present at Gigasavvy. We are proud of our team’s different heritages and backgrounds. We are a mixed group of varying backgrounds with multiple languages spoken here. We are also proud of the fact that Gigasavvy is nearly half female, with multiple women in leadership roles. Everyone not only has a voice, it’s one of the components that makes our culture work as we continue to innovate.

Taking Steps Towards a Long-term Vision

We love Orange County. We want to work with Orange County businesses, so we can all grow and support the economy in the place we love.

We’ve got big goals here. This has been a first step in a master plan for the “New Agency,” with plans to roll out more over the next few years. We want to make our home a destination market for advertising, like Los Angeles or New York, but with a signature that is unmistakably, “Made in Orange County.”

Gigasavvy has always set out with a goal to create, change, and impact culture while remaining independent. As we continue to innovate the agency model with growing divisions and multiple revenue streams, we’ll be in a strong position to do so as a foundational cornerstone to business in Orange County. Watch this space; big things are coming.

Orange County agencies have been celebrating lately, and for good reason: the American Advertising Federation 2018 Addy Awards! This annual event is kind of a big deal and is most comparable to the advertising version of the Academy Awards.

The Orange County chapter’s awards gala was held on Thursday, March 22nd at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach. The 2018 Addy Awards were truly a night to remember. “Gigasavvy would like to congratulate all of the Orange County award winners,” said Gigasavvy President, Kyle Johnston. “We are honored to be members of a community that continues to showcase Orange County as a hotspot for creativity and innovation in our industry.”

For Gigasavvy, last night was truly a night worth celebrating. We’re especially proud to announce several new additions to the Gigasavvy trophy case, with 36 Addy Awards total across Gold, Silver, and Bronze for our work with 14 different clients. Let’s take a closer look at the winning work that will advance to the American Advertising Federation National Competition.

The Flame Broiler

The Flame Broiler came to Gigasavvy looking to ditch the association with their brand and “Asian rice bowls” and truly hone in on the essence of their original vision: simple, healthy food that promotes a well-balanced lifestyle. We went to work on a complete rebrand including everything from the logo and tagline, to menu boards and store signage, earning a Silver Addy Award for our efforts with Brand Identity and Bronze Addy Awards for their new logo and menu designs.

To get the word out about the new Flame Broiler and shout their vision from the literal rooftops, Gigasavvy also launched Healthy Is, a cross-channel campaign earning Bronze Addy Awards for the social media campaign and integrated campaign as a whole. A final Bronze Addy was awarded for the :30 Healthy Is TV spot. So what is healthy? Healthy is…

Nékter Juice Bar

Whether you’re a health nut or just love a smoothie every once in a while, chances are if you’re from SoCal, you’ve ventured into a Nékter Juice Bar at least once. Nékter came to Gigasavvy for help with the launch of their new healthier indulgent treat, Skoop. Their mantra is about making healthy choices for a happier life, and what could be happier than a dessert you don’t have to feel bad about enjoying? Gigasavvy created a comprehensive digital campaign to spread the Skoop love all throughout Southern California and was awarded a Gold Addy Award for the campaign as a whole. We captured the essence of Skoop with the centerpiece of the campaign, the Silver Addy Award-winning Skoop video:

Bet you’re reaching for a spoon after watching that one, right? With help from us, Nékter’s free Skoop launch night was a SoCal sensation, with multiple locations each giving out over 600 free Skoops. In addition to the Gold and Silver awards, Gigasavvy also earned Bronze awards for a Skoop microsite, in-store counter card, and email designs for this campaign.

Orchid Essentials

After over a year of research and development, Orchid Essentials launched in summer of 2017 with one main goal: to create the highest standards in the cannabis industry by creating quality, safe products for new and experienced users alike.

Gigasavvy has played a large role in the development and marketing of the Orchid Essentials brand, earning Gold Addys for both Brand Identity and the Orchid Essentials website. One of the first things many people notice about the Orchid Essentials product line is the striking packaging and logo, also designed by Gigasavvy and winners of Silver Addy awards. In addition to the Gold and Silver awards, Gigasavvy also earned Bronze awards for Orchid Essentials’ billboard and email design. We are thrilled to see this work recognized in such an exciting new market.

American Career College

Gigasavvy’s television spot for American Career College delivers a simple message: “dare to dream bigger.” With a message that has the potential to come across as cheesy, Gigasavvy created a heartfelt, inspirational piece sure to hit home for anyone with big dreams. This spot earned a Gold Addy for the original song, and a Bronze award for cinematography (and special shout-out to Mother Nature for that perfectly timed rain). Caution, you may want to have a tissue on hand before watching.

Toshiba

When longtime client Toshiba came to us with the task of promoting the launch of their N300 NAS Hard Drive, we saw it as an opportunity to create something completely unique instead of the tired animated videos other brands have done for similar products. The idea of taking a primarily B2B, highly technical piece of hardware and making it “sexy” was a challenge we readily accepted. Check out the Bronze award-winning N300 video:

Johnny Rockets

Stoke the hunger. That’s been our mantra when it comes to Johnny Rockets. Johnny Rockets came to us about to debut a complete rebrand, and with that they needed a new website to share their new look and edited new menu. Gigasavvy created a website that beautifully showcases their delicious burgers, shakes, and fries with mouth-watering photography, earning Bronze Addy awards for both. The only thing that would make this photo better is if you could taste it yourself!

Bruxie

What is a Bruxie, exactly? Bruxie a small chain of restaurants doing chicken and waffles in a whole new way–in a delectably portable and easy to enjoy sandwich. Bruxie was looking to make a big splash with a new brand identity and assets to match. We created a Bronze Addy-winning website as fun and funky as the notion of a chicken and waffle sandwich itself, along with a simplified, marketing-focused email design and plenty of drool-worthy social media content.

Are you tired of having your job hunt riddled with false promises, clogged inboxes, and wasted time at appointments with staffing firms? Or are you fed up with piles of “applicants” that are actually recruiters trying to shove their candidates down your throat for a fee?

If this scenario sounds familiar, you aren’t alone. In one study, we found that 99.9% of professionals on LinkedIn have been affected by what we call Chronic Recruiter Harassment. Chronic Recruiter Harassment is a proven clear and present threat to the peace and sanity of professionals everywhere. An astounding 89% of those affected by Chronic Recruiter Harassment also suffer from Post-Annoyed Stress Disorder. Symptoms of PASD include swearing, slamming of keyboard keys, and in extreme cases, defenestration of office equipment. With severe cases of PASD on the rise, something had to be done.

Finally, after numerous clinical trials, research studies, and late nights, Gigasavvy has your solution. Introducing RecruiterZapper, the new Chrome extension that will solve all of your problems by eliminating the cause. Recruiters will be banished from your entire LinkedIn browsing experience. All you need to do is download, install, and activate.

Recruiters in Search Results: gone.

Recruiters in People You May Know: gone.

Recruiters in Invitations to Connect: gone.

NO. MORE. RECRUITERS.

As you can see in the demo below, you can even type “recruiter” into the search and LinkedIn will generate 0 results with the RecruiterZapper activated.

Enjoy, and you’re welcome.

Each chapter awards Gold, Silver, and Bronze prizes. The Orange County Addy awards took place Wednesday, March 23rd at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. The Gigasavvy team arrived in full force, the largest (and likely the loudest) agency presence at the event.

Gigasavvy Addy Awards

Gigasavvy Awarded Four Gold Addy Awards for 2016

It was a busy year for the Gigasavvy design and development teams, to say the least. Some of their best work yet was delivered to an equally innovative and unique clientele. The team’s hard work was recognized and rewarded by the AAF OC judges, who gave Gigasavvy four Gold Awards. Winning four Gold Awards gives Gigasavvy the distinct honor of receiving the most Gold Awards of any agency in the AAF OC Addy Awards.

How do you tell the story of a product unlike any other? With clean, user-friendly design, and functionality that don’t get in the way of the brand while standing out from the crowd. Gigasavvy’s work on LumeCube and Pear Sports won gold in the Consumer Websites category by doing just that.

For their creative use of technology, the team took another Gold home for the Build Your Own Bento experience on the newly relaunched Sugarfina website. Sugarfina’s Build Your Own Bento experience allows customers to curate the perfect sugary sweet gift, all with a clear visual of what they (or a lucky loved one) will receive. Browse at your own risk, because you’ll want to order one of everything (we recommend the Champagne Bears). Also falling under the category of “sites that will make you want to buy everything,” is Ullu. Gigasavvy won a gold Addy for the product selection utility navigation.

Four Silver Addy Awards Up the Gigasavvy Medal Count

Along with the outstanding win of four Gold Addy Awards, the Gigasavvy team received an additional four Silver Addy Awards. Shining in the spotlight (pun completely intended) once again, the LumeCube site won silver honors for its mobile responsiveness (go ahead, bring it up on your phone right now).

Gigasavvy’s work on the DITA Eyewear website won two silver awards for the overall website and for its user experience. When telling the story of a high fashion brand, one must be bold. The Gigasavvy team created a site as eye-catching and evocative as DITA’s range, perfectly capturing their unique aesthetic.

The fourth silver honor was awarded for a project particularly close to our hearts: the Gigasavvy re-brand. We’re very proud of our new look and were especially thrilled to be recognized by our peers for the effort that went into the new brand.

Gigasavvy Logo

But Wait, There’s More–Gigasavvy Wins 9 Bronze Addy Awards

Bringing the tally of awards won to a whopping seventeen, the Gigasavvy team also received an additional nine Bronze Addy Awards. We’re going to need a bigger shelf.

Three websites received overall Bronze honors. Sugarfina and Ullu received bronze awards in addition to their other winnings, and a third bronze was awarded for our work on the KBS Capital Markets Group website.

Two of Gigasavvy’s social media clients received a pair of Bronze honors each. Cat treat brand Delightibles (part of the True Science family of brands) received Bronze honors for their ongoing Facebook campaign, as well as the Delightibles blog. Cat lovers, you’re going to want to check those out ASAP. We also received awards for Johnny Rockets’ ongoing Facebook campaign, and for additional banner ads for promotional menu items. Also for banner advertising, the Gigasavvy team received a Bronze award for the LumeCube takeover of the Transworld website, which generated an impressive 595% more traffic and 172% more revenue than the rest of that month to the newly launched LumeCube website.

Our final Bronze honor was in the area of film, received for our brand video created for children’s brand Guardian Bikes. Grab a tissue and enjoy.

The Addy Awards were a fun night and joyous occasion. We are extremely proud to be recognized by our advertising peers for all of our hard work, and to see the creations of other local agencies. 2016 is already off to a blazing start, and before you know it we’ll be recapping 2017 awards. Here’s to a fantastic year, and many more to come!

We Are Gigasavvy

Gigasavvy was founded in 2008 on the principles of creativity, experience, passion, and integrity. In a time when businesses downsized or closed altogether due to the rough recession, the primordial soup of Gigasavvy came together. Born out of a merger of equals, our founding partners knew they wanted to create something different. But to be different you must do things differently. Our agency founders knew that creativity would be the key to a truly different way of thinking and working. But how do you cultivate creativity? Knowing Gigasavvy has that formula down to a science, the Harvard Business School Association of Orange County asked our agency founders to answer this important question in a very special event.

Creativity is at our core and drives everything we do. So what is it that nurtures our creativity? Our culture. Our team is a tight-knit group of 30+ marketers who live and breathe what we do with an unrivaled passion that shines through in the work we create for our clients. Gigasavvy’s growing list of clients includes Knott’s Berry Farm, Toshiba Latin America, Johnny Rockets, Custom Comfort Mattress, Molina Healthcare, and many more across a wide variety of industries.

What Is The Gigasavvy Social Club?

The Gigasavvy Social Club is an elite group of hand-picked social media influencers. Some of them are bloggers covering subjects such as family, lifestyle, and yes, food. Others are people who have large followings on platforms such as Twitter or Instagram. What these individuals all have in common is a large amount of local influence here in Southern California. What Gigasavvy has created is a way to connect these influencers with Orange County restaurants in a mutually beneficial program that results in full bellies and great exposure.

Gigasavvy partners with these restaurants to host influencer events. We invite members of our Social Club to the event to try out some of the culinary masterpieces The O.C. has to offer. They in turn take to Twitter, Instagram, Periscope, and their blogs to get the word out about the delicious things they have experienced, and what they have learned about these local gems. So far, the events have created quite a buzz.

The Gigasavvy Social Club Generates Huge Buzz at Savannah Chop House with #Gigasavvy

The Savannah Chop House Gigasavvy Social Club event took place in late August. Gigasavvy took over the patio at Savannah Chop House in Laguna Niguel with a group of 80 influencers and guests to try the new menu and meet the hot new chef, Chris Tzorin. Everyone’s thumbs flew furiously as they couldn’t wait to capture dish after glorious dish.

Talk about food porn. Instagram followers were treated to a combined 205 photos from 48 contributors, reaching over 74,000 people. The food photos received over 330,000 impressions. After a stomach-stuffing evening of incredible food, 241 contributors tweeted over 700 times. These tweets reached over 600,000 people and received over 3.4 million impressions. A major highlight of the evening was #Gigasavvy trending for the Los Angeles area during the event. When the night was over, we couldn’t wait to do it again.

Small Restaurant Maro Wood Grill Gets Big Exposure

For the Gigasavvy Social Club event in mid-September, we partnered with Maro Wood Grill in Laguna Beach. The intimate beachside setting allowed for a total of 25 influencers to enjoy delicious all-organic Argentinian delicacies on the candlelit patio. Once again, everyone couldn’t get enough of sharing the beautifully presented 9-course tasting menu.

The small group of influencers put up some pretty big numbers on social media that night. A total of 275 tweets were generated by 56 contributors. The tweets reached well over 500,000 people and received over 1.4 million impressions. The Gigasavvy Social Club also shared 131 photos on Instagram, each one looking more delicious than the last. The photos reached 37,000 plus people and received over 200,000 impressions. The food was so good that some of us nearly had to be rolled home.

In addition to sharing their pictures, remarks, and OMGs about the food and ambiance of each restaurant, influencers post reviews on social media and their blogs, further expanding the exposure in addition to providing valuable feedback. Through these events we have been able to accomplish exactly what we set out to do: connect influential people with special places in Orange County for fantastic exposure and great food. We can’t wait to continue the program in 2016.

Are you a restaurateur looking for more exposure for your Orange County-based restaurant? We should talk.

Ranked in the Top 10 for small businesses, Gigasavvy has kept its spot at the top this year in large part due to our flourishing business, exceptional culture, and strong investment in the growth and wellbeing of all team members. Above all, Gigasavvy’s guiding principles—experience, creativity, authenticity, and passion—are the core of our philosophy and values. This is the fabric of our culture and the framework for everything we do within our walls.

Over the past year, we have seen many triumphs at Gigasavvy, and experienced milestones we can imagine are indicators of an exceptional year ahead. What makes us one of the best places to work in Orange County, and notably the only creative agency in the Top 10, boils down to one word—our team.

The Gigasavvy team has driven our boat forward, often into unchartered waters or stormy seas, with a tenacious drive to do great work. Every member of the Gigasavvy family is passionate about doing great work. Work that makes us proud, work that makes work fun, work that is fulfilling—work that changes culture.

Over the past 12 months, we like to think we have done all of the above. There are a lot of agencies that do what we do, but we like to think we are one of the few who are coveted for how we do it.

So what have we been up to this year? A lot. Shall we queue the highlight reel?

We Moved! Take a Look at the New Gigasavvy Office

Gigasavvy outgrew the old digs, and decided to find a home that would not only fit the growing team, but also feed our creativity, add some fun to the day, and be inviting for our partners and friends.

Taking over the historic lima bean factory in Irvine, which most of you know as the former Tia Juana’s Bar & Grill, complete with our own bar and bowling alley (and perhaps a few friendly ghosts) means we like visitors, and we like them a lot. Want to visit? Let us know! In the meantime, take a look at our new home.

We Partnered With Some New and Wonderful Teams in 2015 

The Gigasavvy friends list is growing, and we have partnered with some new companies that have really let us stretch our creative muscle. Take a look.

Johnny Rockets

Ketchup art anyone? Gigasavvy partnered with Johnny Rockets this year to undertake various social media marketing initiatives that would grow their audience and customer base and take the beloved brand to new heights with how they connect to fans. It is safe to say the project has let our team flex their creative muscle with different (and often too-fun-to-even-call-it-work) ideas.

[fbvideo link=”https://www.facebook.com/johnnyrockets/videos/10153308230676005/” width=”600″ height=”400″ onlyvideo=”1″]

Custom Comfort Mattress

Custom Comfort Mattress, the family-owned luxury mattress company, had built a loyal following of well-rested customers who purchased from their line of hand-crafted beds. After 30+ years and many store locations throughout Orange County and Los Angeles, the brand needed a refresh that would match the quality of their products. Gigasavvy partnered with the Custom Comfort Mattress team to design and execute a full brand redesign that included a new website, media, and ongoing digital marketing.

Not only did we enjoy refreshing the Custom Comfort Mattress brand and taking on their digital marketing strategy, but we also took the brand refresh out into the physical world and designed the interior of their new store. The new look and store design elevates the brand, presents the quality of their product beautifully, and creates an inviting atmosphere and shopping experience.

Our Growing Team of Experts Expanded Our Capabilities and Services

From social media influencer management, to content marketing, expanded design and development services, and a full photography and video production studio—the full suite of creative services we offer in the digital space continues to expand.

Without the dedication and passion every member of our team has in spades, we would not be charting the course into the year ahead with even more capabilities, team members, and passion to not only do great work, but to also disrupt our own minds (constantly) and grow with creative ideas that redefine the meaning of that word.

Ranked in the top 10 for small to medium sized businesses, Gigasavvy joins the ranks largely due to it’s flourishing business, exceptional culture, and investment into the growth and wellbeing of all team members.

Gigasavvy’s core business has seen a steady increase in profits each year, but this past  one was a real milestone for the company. In the last year, the staff grew over 40%, which included a strategic acquisition of two production companies to expand into photo and video. The net income has also increased almost 160% since 2013 and this year is trending to be the most successful year to date.

Aside from the exponential growth, Gigasavvy was chosen as one of the best places to work because of a strong commitment and investment into the success and growth of staff members, with an equal focus on team satisfaction and wellbeing. Ensuring people are continuously challenged to grow and expand their knowledge base (all while enjoying their job), has created a confident and close-knit team of experts in a wide range of industry.

Behind our commitment to a person’s success is a genuine vested interest in each member of the team. We have programs to uphold a positive company culture and cohesive team atmosphere. Leadership fosters an open and collaborative environment with real transparency and open door policies. Managers also give professional and personal guidance, with an inclusion of care that goes beyond the workplace.

Along with this unique approach to team achievements, a work/life balance is unilaterally seen as something required for success. Exceptional benefits and perks, as well as maintaining good culture and a fun environment, is always a top priority. In addition to the competitive salaries and health benefits, there are numerous perks and incentives—such as revenue sharing, commissions, and bonuses throughout the year. Everyone gets generous paid time off, over 20 paid holidays, maternity and paternity leave, and even time off to volunteer. Other perks include a fully stocked kitchen, regular BBQs in the “backyard,” and gourmet food trucks each month. Company wide events and activities are constant, fun jaunts to get outside are planned by the official “Beacon of Happiness!,” and a casual environment with break areas and foosball keep the atmosphere friendly.

We are ecstatic to have been chosen as one of the best places to work in Orange County by the Orange County Business Journal. It bolsters the belief that our commitment to our clients, our work, and our entire team is making a positive impact on the Orange County community. Here’s to another great year!
