About every month or so we all gather for a monthly session called In Tha’ Know. While it started as a small internal lunch and learn meeting, In Tha’ Know eventually evolved into a lecture-of-sorts we present to our clients and other offices. Whether you’ve been to one in our Dallas HQ or not, at an In Tha’ Know expect pizza, live music, and a curated presentation on the haps in digital and trends. It’s a blast to put on– the only thing more fun than planning a session is presenting one.
After every session an email is sent out with links to everything covered. Since not everyone can make it to one of our sessions (and no doubt want to after hearing about them), it’s only fair we share the information covered. Enjoy!
