Our team stopped by client Crux Climbing Center's new South Austin location for a little team bonding ahead of tomorrow’s grand opening and explored the space firsthand!

Between climbs, coffee from Switchback Coffee & Beer and tacos from Granny's Tacos, it was a perfect summer Friday. We're so happy to have them back in South Austin!

Thanks to the Crux team for having us and giving us a new appreciation for grip strength

A throwback to when it all began in 2006, with a few dreamers who all shared the same big idea. The first Giant Noise office was in our founder's garage, and now, two decades later, our team has offices in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston.

Check out what the original Giant Noise logo was on the last slide. 😉

Part of great PR is all about building the right partnerships 🤝

We love connecting clients with shared missions! Recently, we brought together The Gulf Trust and Whole Earth Provision Co. for an in-store event focused on environmental education, pollution awareness, and protecting the Gulf 🌏

The evening featured a presentation from Jay and Chrissy Kleberg, the husband-and-wife team behind Trash Free Gulf, along with giveaways and refreshments from All Dia — bringing three clients together under one roof. Jay and Chrissy also shared cleanup tools and resources to help attendees get involved in protecting local waterways and communities.

And the best full-circle moment? The Klebergs actually met at a Whole Earth store more than 20 years ago💙

Last month, we welcomed students from DAPR, a student organization at UT focused on increasing diversity and representation in the advertising and public relations industries 🧡

We showed them around our HQ, mingled while enjoying an interactive game of office bingo, conducted a resume workshop, and took pics for the 'gram (and LinkedIn, of course) to chronicle the occasion. It was a day well spent and a great opportunity to give students a peek into agency life and have meaningful conversations. Thank you for spending the day with us, DAPR 💼 ✨
