December to remember 🎁

even Santa approved

SANTA, We KNOW Him!

We’re making our list and checking it twice since this December. It’s been the kind of month that mixes end-of-year reflection with one last fire drill before everyone collectively exhales.

Check out what the workshop has been up too… but first, mark your calendars:

What We’ve Been Up To

3rd Annual Holiday Portrait Party Recap 📸

We had a BLAST at our 3rd Annual Holiday Portrait Party, filled with all our favorite people, festive vibes, and amazing holiday portraits! The whole team tagged in for pictures (...even Santa made an appearance). Here is a recap of what went down:

Air Force takes on Gasparilla Bowl 🏈

Nothing like a mini cannon to blow out this onsite activation with our latest client, the United States Air Force. We showed up to see their latest Tampa activation - with more national tricks up our sleeve in planning. Standby as we load up some never-before-seen projects with our nation’s finest. 🫡

Key Food VERY Grand Opening in O-town 🛒

This dynamic duo collab from EraserFarm took shape in the form of a grand-opening ‘line out the door’ success, highlighting our newest partnered client win through giveaways, radio remotes, influencer coverage, with over 500 registrations and a 12K% in growth in 7 days on their social profiles and record-breaking attendance. Standby as we blow out their next one in February. 

Nakery Beauty Crushed Black Friday 🛍️

Black Friday was HUGE for Nakery Beauty, and the numbers backed it up. November closed with a 74% year-over-year increase in sales thanks to our new strategy, designs, and nimble maneuvering. Demand moved fast, inventory followed, and several products sold through quicker than expected. The holiday season is showing to be a great one!

TSB Birds are so Fly 🍗

Tropical Smokehouse leaned into organic social and email, and it delivered with 240 whole birds sold in one month, all through ORGANIC posting. We also partnered with influencers, where just three partner posts brought in 200K+ views and 7,000+ shares. Safe to say, the last month was one for the books.

PARWCC’s in the headlines - again 📰

Ever wonder if AI is taking your job? Welp, we’ve made press headlines once again with this coverage of all things job search related after PARWCC hit newsstands with their 2025 white paper recap. With a pick up of 145.7 million in audience, 23k in new traffic, and over 620 outlets… we’d call that a win. 

REV-ing our engines 💅🏽

Just in time for the holidays, REV Med Spa got an overhaul to its paid ads, joining the crew of clients on the trail to attract new customers.  Our squad got to work on a brand new paid social campaign. We took a stab at getting both men AND women this season by segmenting and launching their new campaign just in time for Santa’s arrival.

Ybor X-marks the spot 🎄

The Ybor restaurant FUDI group brought Christmas pop-ups at Barterhouse, more fresh seafood at Ocean Ink, and a huge snowman at Watervue (not Ybor - but Harbour Island deserved some love too) - and the team was there to show out.  The social feeds are poppin’, and our email campaigns have never looked more festive.

Lemonrock got a facelift 💻

After their first full year rocking their beautiful, newly designed website, we decided it was time for some not-so-routine update with new faces and new places to highlight their motorcycle tours.  Our magic wand dazzled their pages, and the site looks good as it ever was.

Breakout 21A TikToks!! 🕺🏼

New Clients; We got ‘em

SOF Missions 🇺🇸

A non-profit helping Veterans increase their impact? You know we said yes. 🌹 Welcome SOF Missions to the 21A family. Their mission, impact, and commitment to serving those who served us is something truly touching. This brand planning session brought inspo, clarity, and impact to their marketing team - with 2026 steady in the wings.

ParmBar 🧀

Say cheese - but now do it in a Parmesan cheese bar.  We’re pumped to bring this one-of-a-kind snack to shelves.  What started as a TikTok joke trend, caused some serious innovation for these folks. First the brand, then the bar, coming to a grocery shelf near you. are

Studio 21A🪩 (Christmas is coming early)

December wrapped the studio in a different kind of energy. End-of-year reflections, big founder lessons, and conversations that stuck with us longer than the holiday lights. Studio 21A stayed booked through the final stretch of the year.

Make sure you’re following our Studio21A Instagram so you don’t miss what’s next.

Team Wins! (We Got A Joyful Joy Bell!!)

The BIG 20K For TSB!

Our client Tropical Smokehouse hit a big milestone with 20K FOLLOWERS (and a little extra) on Instagram! We also helped sell $53k in Turkey, Brisket, ham, and sides this year! Keep feeding the feed with all this delicious content!

Key Food Supermarket Grand Opening Was THAT Good

The grand opening was a GREAT success as it reached over 343k people and over 500k views and impressions! Fantastic work team!
