Today we pause the pixels, put down the campaigns, and take a moment to honor the ones who gave everything so we could do what we love. Thank you. 🇺🇸

Happy Memorial Day from all of us at Flying Hippo.

Meet Aaron - our Digital Marketing Program Manager and the guy who makes sure your campaigns are as dialed in as his dinner reservations.

Aaron brings a marketer's mind and a food lover's soul to everything he does. By day he's orchestrating digital strategy, keeping programs on track, and making sure every campaign fires on all cylinders.

By night - and weekends, and honestly any free moment - he's the force behind SWFL Food Ju**ie, a Southwest Florida dining guide he built from scratch into a full-blown local institution. The man grew up in a bakery. He was born for this.

When he's not eating or marketing (or marketing eating), Aaron is on the rugby pitch - which, if you've ever seen him, makes complete sense. We're fairly certain our colleagues in the office looked up one day, saw Aaron walk in, and briefly wondered if Tormund Giantsbane had pivoted to digital advertising. He had.

We're very glad he chose us.

Big spaces carry big opportunities.

We recently completed a large-scale environmental branding installation for NETTTS, helping transform their campus into a more cohesive, intentional experience that reflects who they are and where they’re going.

When a space starts telling the right story, it does more than look better-it helps people understand the value, feel the culture, and see the potential of what’s possible there. Built for where they’re headed next.

Your branding?…we’ll circle back on that tomorrow.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

🚨 BIG NEWS 🚨

After years of bold ideas and fearless creativity…we’re finally doing it.

We’re rebranding.

Introducing our brand new Flying Hippo logo.

It’s sleeker. It’s bolder. Some are calling it “unexpected.” Others are calling it “legally questionable.” We’re calling it the future.

Full reveal dropping soon. Prepare yourselves.

(And maybe prepare your feedback. Don't worry, we have thick skin.)

Meet Kristin—our Director of Account Services and the organizational engine that keeps everything moving.

Kristin brings a relentless work ethic, sharp instincts, and the kind of follow-through that makes complex projects feel effortless for our clients. She’s the connective tissue between ideas and ex*****on, making sure every detail is handled and every project keeps its momentum.

Outside the office, she’s a mom of two and happiest sitting poolside whenever she can carve out a little sunshine.
That said, we’re fairly certain Kristin has access to some form of time travel. It’s the only reasonable explanation for how she manages client needs, internal projects, family life, and still stays three steps ahead of everything. Our current working theory is that somewhere around mid-afternoon she quietly bends the space-time continuum and adds a few extra hours to the day.

We’ve decided not to investigate too closely. We’re just glad she’s using her powers for the Flying Hippo crew.
