closerlook celebrates 17 years in business

On April 6, 1987, the day Sugar Ray Leonard popped Marvelous Marvin Hagler in Las Vegas in 12 rounds, two young entrepreneurs set up shop in a tiny third-floor walk-up in River North, a near North Chicago neighborhood. No phones? No problem. The bar across the street had two pay phones. All they needed were a couple of stools, Los Lobos and Crowded House playing on the juke box, and a beverage of choice on the polished oak countertop, and they started cold calling. Dialing for dollars.

Seventeen years later we’re still in the neighborhood. Brehon’s Pub is still our destination of choice for inspiration and celebration, and it’s where the agency gathered to celebrate its anniversary on the night of the 6th. The party included free flowing food and drink, lots of orange T-shirts, and a fun video retrospective featuring many of the wild and wacky internal videos that have been created over the years. David Ormesher, founder and CEO, shared a few prepared remarks reflecting on the success of the past year and the opportunities ahead, and then it was back to the party!

The past year has been one of growth and focus, and we have enjoyed the benefits of deep client relationships. We start our 18th year grateful for our past good fortune and recommitted to making a difference through the success of our clients and the enhancement of our collaborative culture.
