"I was fortunate to work with both Josh and Vincent on McDonald's and see first-hand how they can help a client drive innovation and digital content experiences while exploring alternative production options to reduce costs. I can't think of better partners for clients who need to quickly expand their digital footprint while taking advantage of new production models," said Catherine Davis, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer of Feeding America.

Josh's focus is on clients' growth through digital-first marketing strategies, while Vincent architects multi-platform production solutions with creativity and craft at the core.
