Decked out in our most festive nautical attire, the Anson-Stoner crew met with long-standing client Rec Warehouse for a yachting excursion aboard the Rec Loose. After arriving in Daytona Beach via a fun-filled party bus, everyone eagerly boarded the yacht. We cruised the intercoastal waterway, enjoying the Florida fall weather and keeping a look out for pods of dolphin. A good time was had by all!

During the 2008/2009 NBA season, park benches in downtown Orlando were transformed into courtside seats, courtesy of Anson-Stoner and FS Florida/SunSports. The agency transformed downtown trash cans into basketball hoops with proportionately sized backboards that invited passers-by to practice their jump shot.
The backboards promoted FS Florida and SunSports as the exclusive cable providers of Orlando Magic basketball in Florida. And while they might not have helped the Magic win the Championship, the backboards helped prove that Central Floridians still believe in Magic.
Check out the rest of the backboards after the jump.

What do you get when you combine pr savvy, production coordination and a love of Mexican food? Burrito Wednesday.
It’s official. Every Wednesday, the Anson crew piles into various Mexican restaurants around town sampling the best guac, queso and, of course, burritos. It may not replace coffee as our main source of creative energy, but all that hot sauce is likely to light a fire under our butts for the remainder of the work day. And as far as we’re concerned, that is muy bueno.
