🇺🇸As September 11th 2026 comes to an end, it is a day that our agency remembers vividly.

On the morning of this day 25 years ago our ad agency staff called Agency principals, Al Aguilar and Gisela Girard who had flown back to San Antonio from chairing the AHAA — Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies Conference in New Orleans. Our staff was in a state of shock and feared that the Alamo, located directly in front of our agency office at that time, could be a target of the terrorist acts. Everyone was sent home that day as our city
and our country experienced this most unbelievable tragedy. We must never forget this day. 🇺🇸🙏

Wow!
Listen to what David Chancellor of News 4 San Antonio had to say about Go Spurs Go.

As the creators of in 1999, our founder has often said, creating this felt like winning a championship in the ad agency world!

As we’ve always said ~ Nowhere Else But San Antonio!

Spurs greats like Sean Elliott and George Gervin found more than basketball in San Antonio. They found loyalty, family and a city that became home.

This was a pivotal moment in 1999. Our agency office, situated on the 2nd floor at 321 Alamo Plaza in front of The Alamo for five incredible years. It was the year we created the iconic 'Go Spurs Go'. So we installed a banner across the building and in our windows. Now, 27 years later, we see and hear 'GO SPURS GO!' everywhere across San Antonio. 🩷🧡🩶

Our agency's story began in February 1999, marked by a defining moment when we joined forces with the San Antonio Spurs, and their marketing team Russ Bookbinder, Bruce Guthrie, Pam Benavides and others. Tasked with crafting a playoff campaign, we introduced Go Spurs Go, a rallying cry that would echo through history. Nearly three decades later, its impact endures, a testament to the power of simplicity. So with that as we enter the 2026 🏀 playoffs ~ GO SPURS GO! 🙌
