2021 was an attention-grabbing yr. It was, in some ways, higher than 2020, however comparatively talking, couldn’t we are saying the identical about some other yr in fashionable historical past? It moved quick. We adjusted and reacted in real-time to new realities and thrilling new ventures. In the end, when the mud settled, we got here via with our greatest yr but, and with exponential progress on the horizon.
These final couple years have been a ‘mutha for all of us. However I really feel extra motivated than ever to push ahead and carry the momentum we’ve constructed into the brand new yr and past. The vacations are a tremendous time for many people, however may also be extremely difficult, miserable, and aggravating for others. In case you’re like me, perhaps it’s just a little little bit of each. However as I look again on the yr and forward to what’s in entrance of us, I’m targeted on displaying grace and being grateful for what I’ve round me – and right here at Proof, our biggest belongings are the individuals that select to come back in (and go all-in) on daily basis.
Paul, Landon, and Nick are killing it on the design and inventive aspect. We’re placing our absolute best work out at the moment, and with their powers mixed, they’re a pressure to be reckoned with.
Mihai and Ana acquired married this yr! (woohoo!) and proceed to symbolize Proof from the opposite nook of the world in Romania. In case you’ve ever had line of copy written or a lovely web site developed by Proof, you could have these two wonderful people to thank.
Dave is rocking our day-to-day challenge administration and has us working extra effectively than ever. Realizing what to do, when to do it, and the easiest way to go about it goes a LONG method. How he nonetheless places up with me after 10+ years of working collectively… I don’t know, you’d need to ask him.
Ryan is the ‘new man’ on the crew and has introduced a wealth of information as we dive deeper into video and picture manufacturing within the new yr. We’re excited to inform tales in a extra dynamic and fascinating method via this medium and Ryan is a rockstar behind the digicam.
Zach is main the cost for biz dev and is bringing Proof to new heights via significant, intentional partnerships. He simply welcomed his second little one, the cutest little dude named Lando (which can also be a very cool identify).
Life is nice at Proof and now we have rather a lot to be glad about. We’re grateful for one another – that we get to do what we love (most) days – and that we get to work with nice shoppers that make our job difficult, rewarding, and and not using a uninteresting second.
It’s customary (nicely, at the very least since 2016) to ‘log off’ on the yr with a mixtape of our favourite tunes proper now. Our 2021 Proof Mixtape is stay and prepared to your listening pleasure. In case you’re happening a protracted highway journey, or simply want a minute to interrupt and step away from the inlaws, we hope you get pleasure from it as a lot as we loved placing it collectively.
