We’re finishing out the year on a strong note with our latest creative brief. It’s doing double duty as we keep an eye on the last few weeks of the critical holiday gifting season as well as plan ahead with 2020 trends and the New Year, New You messaging. Make the most of the last days of 2019 and we’ll see everybody in 2020!
