Good afternoon GR team!

We’re counting down to next week’s agency offsite, and we wanted to take a moment to share why this day matters.

You will see a full agenda listed below with the day’s activities, including a closing session during a 3:30-4:30pm happy hour and ending the day there.

Over the past year, GreenRubino has been navigating real change – across our industry, our clients, and our own evolution as an agency. Next week is about gathering together and aligning around what’s next: how we show up, how we lead our clients and our industry, and how we continue to elevate the work we do every day.

This offsite isn’t just a brand moment for us; it’s a team moment. It’s designed to:

• Give clarity on how our evolving point of view shows up when it counts – with clients, in new business, in collaboration, and in moments of success and in moments of pressure
• Help each of us think differently about how we anticipate needs, move with intention, and lead with confidence rather than reaction

To help set the stage, Tuesday’s “What Is a Brand?” overview will be an important primer. It’s meant to get everyone thinking more broadly about what goes into a rebrand – and how brand lives far beyond a logo or tagline. We encourage you to come curious and open – it will make next week’s conversations even more impactful.

We’ll save the big reveal for the offsite, but we will say this: what we’re introducing is more than a phrase. It’s a shared mindset, a way of working, and a clear expectation for how we show up for one another, our clients, and our community.

Come ready to engage, to think, to challenge assumptions, and to imagine how this next chapter shows up in your own role at GreenRubino.

More soon—and we can’t wait to be together for this.

With appreciation and excitement,
John and Stacia
