CURRENT INITIATIVE

SEEN & HEARD

From startup to stock offering

Last week, we celebrated the kind of milestone we hope to see with every startup client: RealD went live as RLD on the NYSE after a successful public offering that raised US $200 million.  

We started with RealD when it was just a two-person start-up. After naming them, we provided strategic brand guidance through successive stages of growth.

Even better than the pleasure of seeing the RealD logo across the screen at every new 3D movie is the unique level of trust that develops over the course of working together from those early stage days.
