Sharp Think is known for blending high-octane creative thought with strategic planning to deliver exceptional results for clients in architecture and design, arts and culture, health and wellness, and consumer lifestyle. This year, the agency achieved notable successes for clients across the board, thanks to teamwork from offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas. The PR launch of Four Hands x Amber Lewis marked a significant milestone, with a strategic press trip and media blitz that ultimately set new PR benchmarks for the brand. Their work with TEFAF, the world’s most prestigious art fair, resulted in record coverage, including 16 stories in the New York Times. For HI-CHEW, Sharp Think orchestrated a successful three-city pop-up tour and a creative Easter campaign, contributing to a 20% growth for the brand. The agency also partnered with Cosentino and Hearst to execute the CNEXT Designers retreat, and launched the Luxury Lounge at KBIS, a first-of-its-kind space that elevated the show experience and attracted significant media coverage. Over the past year, Sharp Think saw its largest growth to date, with new client wins, team expansions, and internal promotions. The agency also doubled its digital work, enhancing its expertise in social media strategy, influencer marketing, and paid social initiatives.

What makes your agency a great place in which to work? How have you fostered a positive workplace culture?
“Over the past 18 months we've had one of our highest-ever rates of employee retention. We attribute this to our unique culture and our commitment to our team members' growth and development. While many agencies have mandated a return to the office, Sharp has maintained our mostly-remote working environment. Our teams get together in co-working spaces in our hubs across the country with a focus on intentional time together when needed. To keep us connected and growing together, we host company-wide in-person retreat days twice each year- in June and December. We organize educational workshops, led by third party experts as well as team-building activities; past retreats have featured art classes, an architecture tour, team awards ceremonies, picnics, museum visits and more."
