“In addition to their amazingly creative work, what I loved about the Tangible team is that at the end of the day, my stakeholders could not tell the difference between an internal creative on my team and a member of the Tangible team. The engagement worked so much smoother than the typical agency engagement; it was much healthier for my internal team and much more successful with regards to the final outcomes.”
