Local marketing agency Brains on Fire (BOF) is expanding to Los Angeles.
The agency acquired and merged with Los Angeles-based design and digital consulting agency Animal Volcano Design.
“[T]here are advantages to having offices on both coasts,” BOF president Robbin Phillips said in a release. “Not only does BOF LA give us a longer workday and the ability to better service our clients, it also gives us more firepower in the world of video storytelling and creating digital platforms that connect people, which are both powerful tools in much of the work we do.”
Benjamin Hart, former owner and founder of Animal Volcano, will lead the Los Angeles office.
“Over the years, we have had the opportunity to partner with Brains on Fire on several projects and a number of mutual clients,” Hart said. “The harmonious working relationship between our teams made joining forces a natural fit and an easy decision.”
BOF won the top engagement award from the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA) at the WOMMY Awards in Hollywood last year for the agency’s “Yeah, THAT Greenville” campaign for VisitGreenvileSC.
