As a founder or exec, you've been intentional about building a company culture that thrives. Don't let it fall apart when you sell!
@taliasana , Cofounder & Managing Partner of @exverus , talks about preserving agency culture after M&A on this week's Agency Alchemy Podcast. Listen wherever you get podcasts!
M&A can be the biggest decision a business owner ever makes! It was so important to us to choose a partner whose culture aligned with ours, and @brainlabs was it.

We're not above bragging - Exverus is one of the best agencies in the biz for working moms to stay and advance; just look at our senior leadership team! 🧍🏻♀️🧍🏻♀️
Need to run out to a bus pickup? We get it. 🚌 Kid got their 800th virus of the year from daycare? We've been there. 🤒
Moms are some of the top talent on our team, and we know we'd be CRAZY to lose their genius like so many other companies are right now. We've invested in working parents, and it's been an enormous growth strategy, not a sacrifice. 📈
Moms of all stripes, thanks for all you do. 💐🌻
It's a tough time for young workers in the ad biz, so we couldn't be prouder of rising star Marlee Thompson, an @adage NextGen Media Buyer of 2026, who climbed the ranks of media planning from Associate to Supervisor in less than 5 years! 👏🎉
“The future of media buying is in storytelling,” Marlee says. “It goes beyond impressions and really leans into the narrative to craft who a brand is ... it excites me because it bridges the insights we found our media choices on, who the consumer is and how to actually speak to someone in a more in-depth way that speaks to their lifestyle or interests.”

It would not be dramatic to say this is the coolest feature we've gotten to date. The man, the legend @bigevilbbq deserves the spotlight for running ALL our campaigns smoothly AND cooking up tasty meals on the side 🔥 🥩
Aaron brings the same combination of passion, science, and creativity to his cooking as he does to his advertising operations work. Testing new technologies, trying out new ideas, serving others all the way through.

Meet Pumpkin, one of our resident office dogs 🎃🐶 Loves an in-person meeting, no emails, please. Enjoys creative thinking walks around the block and lunch 'n learns with treats 🐾
Our team had such a fun client trip last week visiting the folks at @habitburgerandgrill HQ (and, apparently, @tacobell )! Thanks for having us 🍔 🌮 🥗
We partnered up with Habit as their media agency of record in 2025, and this spring, we've been running the better-burger chain's "Fresh Like That" campaign across premium CTV, digital, and OOH.
For Media Planning Director @gmchevere , it's about balancing brand expansion across the US with driving immediate performance in key western markets.
The campaign's colorful, sunny creative reinforces Habit’s southern California roots while expanding the freshness to new audiences.
Cheers to our friends at @optimism_bh@kevaniusa and @nprpmedia for bringing the freshness to life! ☀️🌴🥙
Agility in marketing isn’t trend-hopping. It’s building a plan stable enough to absorb change without losing ground.
Annual upfront commitments with zero room for optimization? That’s not a media plan. That’s a death trap.
A year ago, shoppable CTV and agentic commerce weren’t even in the conversation. Today they’re table stakes. Your plan needs to move at the speed of the market — not the speed of your next annual review.
Every touchpoint should build the brand AND drive action. If it can’t do both, you’re too slow to convert.
Real agility = redirecting spend from what’s not working to what is, in real time.
Your media plan should be a solid foundation. Not a cage.
