Sassafras Has Flattened the Curve when it Comes to Working from Home

Sassafras Has Flattened the Curve when it Comes to Working from Home

At Sassafras Marketing, we know a thing or two about working from home. We’ve done it for the last 15 years and at this point it’s like a well-oiled machine. It allows us the opportunity to attract the top talent no matter where they’re located and gives employees more flexibility and family time. We found it interesting to learn that even before the pandemic struck, remote work was accelerating in the U.S. Over the last five years it grew 44% and between 2005 and 2017, there

Project Spotlight: Six Flags Stock Cup Design

Project Spotlight: Six Flags Stock Cup Design

Here’s a fun fact about Sassafras Marketing that you might not know: we design A LOT of cups! We work on a lot of cinema business and with that comes the design and management of concession programs and cup and tub designs. Last year, though, we had the opportunity to work on a cup design for a slightly different customer and industry: Six Flags. Six Flags and Coca-Cola wanted to update the look of their stock cup and incorporate sip & scan® technology on the cup. They wanted

Designing a Fun Campaign and Supporting a Great Cause

Designing a Fun Campaign and Supporting a Great Cause

There’s no better feeling than completing a project and producing amazing results for clients. But it’s even better when you get to be a part of and support a great cause along the way! Anyone who works for an advertising agency knows that doesn’t always happen. Things move so quickly and a lot of times we aren’t able to see our hard work out in the marketplace. Luckily, that wasn’t the case for a recent campaign launch we worked on for the United Way of Wyandotte County (UWW

Labor Day Fun at Sassafras

Labor Day Fun at Sassafras

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Labor Day is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. In our opinion, that’s a great reason to celebrate, so we kicked off the long weekend last week by creating a fun Labor Day video. If you didn’t catch our Instagram story l

Tips for a Seamless Photo Shoot

Tips for a Seamless Photo Shoot

When you’re a creative agency working for fun and innovative clients, opportunities sometimes arise that allow our employees the chance to get out of the office and lead new initiatives.

Account Manager Heather, who is leading the project, along with our Creative Director Allison, share some key learnings from the trip and provide insights on what

That was and remains to be the premise behind the development of the Sassafras char

Fall Team Meeting Recap

Fall Team Meeting Recap

It’s been a few months since our last team meeting in Kansas City but it’s never too late for a quick recap on what the team did and all of the cool things we learned back in November. In case you’re not familiar with our team meetings, they happen twice a year in Kansas City, usually around May and November. Since Sassafras is a remote company, these meetings give us a chance to get together in person and learn and grow as a team. The agenda for November’s meeting was a litt
