✨ Gearing Up and Giving Back! ❄️🎥

The ARC team is gearing up for 2025. We braved the snow ❄️ and soaked in the stunning sights of Niagara Falls 🚙 on our way to Toronto where we captured incredible stories at Sunnybrook Hospital. 📹

One of our favorite moments? Giving back to the community💜—because creativity and kindness go hand-in-hand. We created a heartwarming meal at the Ronald McDonald House of Eastern Iowa-Western Illinois, where every dish served up a side of love and hope. 🍽️

Here’s to more projects, more stories, and more chances to make a difference in 2025. 🎬

🎉 An unforgettable week at the University of Nebraska! 🌟

🚗 Ann kicked off the week as a volunteer chauffeur at the World Food Prize Foundation before joining the ARC team in Lincoln, Nebraska, at the NU Coliseum! 👏✨ Together with our fantastic partners at Wired Production Group, we transformed this iconic athletics venue into a true celebration of University of Nebraska spirit. 🎉

As guests entered the event space, they were immersed in NU’s signature colors, imagery, and surrounded by pennants from all four campuses. While they explored and took part in hands-on opportunities at the experiential centers, UNO’s Jazz Ensemble set the perfect mood for this gathering of loyal Huskers, Lopers, Mavericks, and Labs. 🎶💥 The energy was electric, and the vibe? Pure Nebraska pride! 🌟

After all the hard work, we raised a glass to the success of the event—and to all the exciting projects on the horizon! 🥂 Stay tuned for what’s next! 🎬

Tune in next week to see 👀all the magic we’ve been brewing!🧙🏻‍♂️

🎥✨ This week ARC has been a whirlwind of creativity! Our team has been busy planning some amazing projects, hopping between in-person meetings and Zoom calls to bring our ideas to life. 🗓️🐾 We even had a furry little friend—Seth’s adorable dog 🐾supervised a meeting with Wired Production Group and stole the show!

Iowa’s breathtaking natural beauty has been our backdrop, with vibrant flowers and the stunning aurora borealis inspiring us. 🌸🌌 Our thoughts are with our newest team member, Stacey, and all our clients as they recover from the effects of Helene and Milton. 💙 We're here to support you every step of the way! 🌊❤️

✨Sheryl took a fun field trip to volunteer at a local children's theatre non-profit, teaching 3rd graders and budding thespians the magic 🪄of what happens backstage during a show! 🎭

🎬From storyboarding to editing and shooting, Mo and John are in full-on creative mode! Don’t forget to check back next week for more fun updates—we can’t wait to share what we’ve been cooking up!

What a whirlwind of a week to start October for our creative team! 🌟 We jumped right into meetings and more meetings—internal team updates, a trip to Minnesota to meet with the University of St. Thomas, and creative planning meetings with our friends at The University of Nebraska. It’s all about collaboration!

Nothing brightens up a meeting like Ann’s beautiful flowers 🌸—a little creativity goes a long way! Welcome to Stacey who flew in from Florida to join the fun!✈️

Amid all this, some of us took much-deserved time off. Shoutout to our Branson adventurer, Ann, who enjoyed the beauty of nature and fabulous shows! 🌳🎭

And let’s not forget our very own Mary Tyler Moore superfan, Seth, who crafted a personal tour while in Minneapolis! 🏙️ He had to make it after all! Who says work and play can’t mix?

We’re excited for a season filled with creativity, collaboration, and maybe even a few more adventures! 🍁✨ Stay tuned for more updates next week!

One Shot Weekly 🎬

This week, ARC took on Chicago with a roar! 🐅🎉 We were on the prowl at a high-energy campaign roadshow event with Mizzou at the iconic University Club of Chicago.

Between servings of Mizzou’s famous Tiger Stripe ice cream and some classic Windy City sightseeing, we had a blast—bonus points for having one of our team member’s mom join in on the fun! 🍦🏙️

Meanwhile, back at ARC HQ, we welcomed two fierce additions to the team: one sharpening their claws for the video crew and the other, a trusty portable printer, making sure those last-minute script updates are purr-fect. 🐯🎥🖨️
