September 18, 2024 (Re)Introducing the Honorary Fishhooker of the Every Other Month Series
Celebrating Our Clients with a Dash of Buffoonery!
At Fishhook, we’ve always believed that our work goes beyond just creating great designs, strategic plans and impactful communications. It’s about building relationships and infusing a little fun and creativity into everything we do. And what better way to do that than by bringing back one of our favorite traditions - the Honorary Fishhooker of the Every Other Month!
Back in the day, we started this series as a way to highlight our clients and friends, recognizing them not just for the incredible work they do, but also for how they embody Fishhook values. And we want to do that again! And of course, it’s Fishhook so we add a little buffoonery in there so this is the “Every Other” award … because sometimes every month sneaks up on you!
Plus, it keeps the anticipation building—who will be the next Honorary Fishhooker? You’ll just have to wait and see!
Kicking Off with Church on the Hill
We’re thrilled to reintroduce this series by honoring our friends and partners at Church on the Hill! This incredible team has been a beacon of light and creativity to the Fishhook team. The Church on the Hill team exemplifies what it means to lead with purpose and passion.
Working with them has been nothing short of a joy, and we can’t think of a better way to kick off the return of this series than by giving them the spotlight they deserve. Church on the Hill, thank you for being such an inspiring partner—we can’t wait to see what we’ll create together next!
