When the dust settles there is a very happy client, an unprecedentedly awesome solution designed and realized by the best creative minds and hands available and a group of collaborators with a bit more money, something to be proud of and a lot more exposure. High fives galore. Everyone wins. Cue the 80's rock music and freeze frame ending. Voir moins
