Self-promo success stories don’t get much better than this one, especially since it involves edible glass. Congratulations on the home run, HLK!

When we heard that the St. Louis Cardinals were looking for a new agency, we knew we had to throw our name in the hat. Our wall facing the stadium is covered in windows and given the proximity of our office to Busch Stadium, we stumbled across a perfect ice breaker. We ordered fake glass from a production house and bought authentic Major League baseballs. We then fashioned labels with grommets and threaded them through the baseball’s laces, addressed them to the key marketing executives within the Cardinals Organization and waited for a call. Well, we got one, and are proud to say we are the St. Louis Cardinals new Agency of Record.
