Today. 25 years ago today, we opened our doors at David&Goliath with the belief that no challenge is too big to overcome. The road to this milestone has been paved with profound obstacles, countless celebrations, and the bravery of thousands who have walked through our doors. Today, we look back with gratitude and look forward with unbridled optimism. For the challenges of life have taught us the most important lesson. That behind every setback is an even greater comeback. And any Goliath that stands before you is history. Here's 25 years in under 90 seconds. Bravely yours, D&G

When "The Work" makes it into textbooks for future gens to learn from, you know you've built something special. No other way to do it than bravely. Decades past, I still remember those words from D&G, "Do you wanna work on Kia? We're looking for an AE. And we have dancing hamsters." Sold! You guys were my second family when I bravely relocated to LA. Glorious times...Congrats D&G. Forward...bravely!

This is the best. SO MUCH has happened in advertising—in the WORLD—in the last 25 years and D&G has not just survived, it's adapted, grown and thrived. What an incredible example for this industry. Thx for giving a chance to a whippersnapper like me. I'll never forget it.

So few know — really know — how hard it is to build the likes of D&G. What an accomplishment by you and your crew. All those years ago on the east coast I remember how much you cared, how you were an endless stream of ideas (so intimidating!) and how you always believed. Congrats, but can't say I'm surprised one bit on all you've done.
