Undisclosed Location has found a home. Santa Rosa, California. Closer in on the GPS…the Bennett Valley. We hang out in an UNLO site in North Beach, San Francisco occasionally. And we visit Silicon Valley UNLO sites to meet with friends and learn things. An UNLO site presence remains in Chicago. This time: Evanston.
In 2012 we are focused on expanding our marketing efforts in the food & wine category, convincing more clients to embrace mobile and gaming solutions, and continuing to find unique ways to engage diverse consumers.
We continue to embrace our 9 year partnership with Mike Zitt Inc in Cincinnati. Ohio. Please access both our sites and examine our case studies. We design together, create successful strategies for our clients and produce results.

Megan’s passions and strengths lie in art buying, line production, resource and budget management needed to stretch creative ideas across all platforms and budgets.
Megan’s experience on the Account Executive and Project Management side proved the ideal foundation for her most recent role as Agency Producer at Barefoot Proximity/BBDO. Here, she oversaw all broadcast, online and still executions on behalf of the Agency for clients like Procter & Gamble, The Kroger Company, Fisher Investments, Chiquita, as well as other reputable brands. Megan loves anything that involves collaborating, listening to creative visions and figuring out the best means to bring those ideas to life.
Meg considers her best productions to be her son, Miles and daughter, Annie. She savors every minute she spends with them and her husband, Eric.

Overseeing packaging and photography accounts, her most recent client list includes QSR players like Steak n Shake and Bob Evans and CPG giants like Procter & Gamble and Reckitt Benckiser. Tara does as much gardening and yoga is as humanly possible for the mom of two boys, herder of two dogs and wife of one brave husband. When not chanting ‘Om’ she is likely to be found wandering about, muttering far less savory things under her breath.
