The final two hires are Adam Goffstein, a senior copywriter, previously at The Martin Agency and MullenLowe Boston, who worked for brands like Buffalo Wild Wings and Busch Light. Victoria Rocha, a senior art director, who worked on a variety of award-winning campaigns like 'Dreamcaster' from Michelob Ultra, and 'Spreadbeats' by Spotify.

The new team members will join the existing New York team in their newly opened office space in the iconic Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
