Describe the key tenets of your agency's mission and ethos.
“Hospitality first: when asked, ‘how is bread & Butter different?,’ our answer is always that not only do we work exclusively with clients in the hospitality industry, but b&B was founded with the principles of hospitality in mind: the generous and friendly treatment of visitors and guests. We are in the service industry. When we go to a restaurant, we have the pleasure of being served. When we come to work, the tables turn and we are there to serve: our clients, the media, each other.”
