“Decades ago, Tj and I were writing prog rock songs in his parent's basement," recalls Brookbank. "Now, we're in a historic building developing creative pitches to amplify brand stories. Because of our history, there's no ego between us — just a desire to make cool stuff. I'm really excited for what's to come."
