Some fun news for a Friday. We’re celebrating the promotion of Allison Checco, our newest Senior Director. If you know Alli, I suspect you’re not surprised. She spends most of her time spreading sunshine around the Fast Horse World Headquarters while simultaneously kicking ass for our clients.
From trusted client counselor and special events superstar to [...]

Hello, I’m Trevor and I’m new to Fast Horse. I am not a seasoned veteran of advertising. In fact, I am not seasoned or a veteran. I am, however, familiar with the ups, down, ins, outs and dramatic swings of this crazy business we choose to put long hours, sleepless nights and sometimes dreams of [...]

It’s a big weekend for Fast Horse, thanks to our friends at The Coca-Cola Company.
On Sunday, our own Dave Fransen will be in Pittsburgh, where Steelers legend “Mean Joe” Greene will be presented with the Clio award he won 30 years ago for his iconic Coca-Cola commercial (above). The 1979 commercial became one of the [...]

When I was in kindergarten, I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. While the rest of the students drew pictures of police officers, firefighters, superheroes and teachers, I drew myself sitting behind a big desk with the word “boss” engraved on a golden name plate. A lot has happened since [...]
