What's the funniest thing that ever happened to you at Northlich?

We had a pool table on our floor, and one day a guy who didn't quite seem to fit--was he a client? a maintenance guy?--showed up and started taking shots. A friend and I mentioned it to three people before one guy decided to investigate. Turned out it was a confused homeless guy who just wandered in to shoot a few rounds.

I was happily freelancing, but a friend contacted me about an opening. I took the job so I could write TV commercials, and boy did I!

What's your daily commute like at Northlich?

Ten minutes door to door, but that was when it was still located on the west side of downtown. It's still downtown, but on the far east side.

Recommendations

A fellow Creative Director and I hired Mary T as a writer at Northlich. Mary's writing could be beautiful and passionate at times and practical and down to earth at other times. She always knew which voice was appropriate. Working with and knowing Mary T has been a rewarding experience. I think highly of her intelligence and talent. Sincerely, Chris Baker, Creative Director, Northlich

I miss working with Mary T. She was great at coming up with a lot of new and unique ideas. She would push the envelope, while at the same time remain customer focused. Mary would get first-hand customer information and marry it with the creative brief to come up with a creative product that would make an strong emotional connection. Mary also had the ability to negotiate skillfully in tough situations with both internal and external groups. She could be direct and forceful as well as diplomatic.
