It’s no question this last year has been one full of challenges – it’s put us all to the test, personally and professionally. As we look back at the last 12 months, we are grateful for the clients and partners who have trusted us throughout the pandemic to support them in anyway we can and tell their stories.
With that, we’re reflecting on some of the happier news that’s come out of this last year – and happy news to come – with a big sigh of relief, and a smile!
