There is no better way to celebrate the start of summer and the warm weather than a corn hole tournament on the office balcony. The Salt Lake-based team enjoyed a lovely afternoon competing, eating lunch and getting to know each other better all while tossing a few bean bags. We can’t wait to get more use out of our outdoor office space this summer.

Did you know that 65 percent of all businesses fail? Surprisingly, this includes 90% of disruptive startups and 90% of unicorns. We spent some time at the Silicon Slopes Marketing Summit learning some of the latest strategies, techniques and technologies that can be leveraged to help our clients win.

It was great to see old friends and industry veterans while attending breakouts within the B2C and B2B tracks. We particularly enjoyed attending Amy Osmond Cook's session on integrating sales with marketing and learning from the collaborative prowess of James Atkin and Lisa Mathis on Omnichannel branding.

With the 2024 election cycle in full swing and cybersecurity at the top of mind for millions of Americans, we are honored to work side by side with Defending Digital Campaigns.

DDC works with political campaigns to protect them from cyber actors who want to cause harm to the bedrock of our democracy: elections. With stories of cyberattacks popping up daily, DDC is working with leading tech companies like Google to protect everyone involved in a campaign – from the candidate down to each volunteer.

At the Mid-Atlantic MarCom Summit in November, Thatcher+Co. Senior Vice President Eva Nordstrom and DDC President and CEO Michael Kaiser spoke on a panel about how non-profits like DDC can break out of the echo chamber to create communications that matter.

Nordstrom, a former executive producer at CBS News and CNN, pointed out that people are more likely to connect with information that is presented as a story and is told with authenticity. Kaiser said sometimes organizations fail to connect the message to the audience. You can hear more from Kaiser in the video below:

We are major foodies here at Thatcher+Co., and this week, in honor of NYC Restaurant Week, we will be highlighting some of our favorite places to grab lunch, breakfast and sometimes even brunch! Today's highlight is Mermaid Oyster Bar in Times Square (lucky for us, it’s only a block from our office). Established in New York’s East Village in 2003, Mermaid Oyster Bar started as a casual New England fish shack and has since transformed into an American seafood brasserie. It’s designed to evoke the feeling of a mini vacation in a quaint seaside village, and we think it’s a must-visit. Our favorites are the lobster rolls, fish tacos and of course the raw oysters! If you’re in the city during Restaurant Week, do yourself a favor and check them out. We promise you won't be disappointed!
