It’s hard to believe that I’ve had Creative Noggin for 9 years now. Seems like just yesterday I was trudging through agency cubicle land, bleary-eyed with my daily Diet Coke in hand. And just the other day, I celebrated one year with my business partner, Tracy Marlowe. Although we simply celebrated with a quiet lunch before a meeting with one of our web partners, we reflected on how fast the past year has gone by.

I had always liked having “my own deal” but one of the best business decisions I made was to partner with a smart and experienced account director. I always wanted a partner – even from day 1 nine years ago. But never really met anyone I trusted and felt right about. Until Tracy and I started working together a few years ago. We both have the same work ethic — work hard, work smart, produce great results and let your pedestals hold plants in your back yard instead of yourself.
So this is simply a shout out to Tracy. They say that to better yourself, you should surround yourself with people you can learn from. Thanks to Tracy, I do that every day. (Although sometimes reluctantly.) For those of you who have not had the privilege of meeting her, she is a blond concoction of energy, enthusiasm, intelligence and grace.
Here’s to another year chickadee!

Congratulations on your first year together. May it be the first of many wonderful, successful years to come. Knowing both of you that won’t be a difficult goal to achieve!
