Shannon Jones’ Post

We’re 100% ✨ *that* team ✨ The team you call when you want to do something unprecedented (we eat never-been-done-before for breakfast 🥣). The team behind some of the internet’s favorite creativity over the past 6 years (IYKYK and you KNOW 💖). The team that doesn’t set DE&I goals because we are DE&I goals. 💅🏾 The team that sees every project from a 1,000 foot view (or at least, 50 feet - just ask guests of our Up house 🎈), but also knows every millimeter detail of our work with our eyes closed. The team that creates work that makes people feel seen, valued, connected and 🤩 obsessed 🤩. And we make each other feel that way, too. There’s a reason why we say the Verb vibes are unmatchable… It’s these people. Team Verb, this is a little love letter to you. 💌

New level unlocked 👀 As we prepare to touch down in Cannes, we want to officially introduce 2️⃣ new Verb leaders: ➡️ Kelle Coleman joins us as Head of Marketing and Growth 🚀— And it’s a full circle moment: Kelle was one of Verb’s day one clients, and it's an honor to bring her on board. 💪🏾(Fun fact: This will be our 6th Cannes together, but her Verb debut!) ➡️ Kindra Meyer 🏳️🌈 is now our full time Executive Creative Director 💥— You already know her visionary work 🏆 And after an unprecedented year of Kindra-caliber creative, we’re thrilled to make it in-house official. 🔥 Be sure to say hi when you see them on La Croisette! And help us welcome these friends-turned-teammates to Verb. ❤️

We took our experiential creativity UP to the next level for this one…💥 ➡️ Can you make an iconic superhero mansion come to life (...and can we move in)? Yes. ➡️ Can you build an Airbnb that’s also a tour bus for one of the hottest Colombian artists? Absolutely. ➡️ Can you make a house float? Sure, just another Tuesday. ➡️ Can you turn creativity Inside Out (2), make it (Purple) Rain, with Hart? All of the above. 📣📣📣 We can *finally* share one of our best-kept secrets to date — Airbnb Icons. Creative experiences have never been done like this before. So, of course, we went there. We’re Verb. Bringing first-of-its kind creative ideas to life with visionary brand partners like Airbnb is what we do. Speaking of icons and superheroes — shout out to our entire team Verb, and our partners including AOA, Bednark Studio, Produce XM, PBZ LLC, Claudia Steer, Tractor Vision , who make the impossible possible daily. We did it! 🚀🚀🚀 (If you want to do something iconic, you know where to find us.)

🎉 Verb is Ad Age’s 2024 A-List Experiential Agency of the Year  🎉 When our co-founders Shannon Jones and Yadira Harrison started Verb 6 years ago, they set out to challenge the bounds of creativity, brand experience, and executional excellence in a way that clients could trust, take risks, and have fun with! 📣 As Shannon shared, the goal of our work has always gone beyond virality or accolades: it’s about “making people feel seen, valued and connected.” And though it’s never about the awards, this one certainly makes us all feel seen, valued, and connected for the work that we pour our heart into, celebrated alongside so many agencies that are pushing the boundaries, too. 🏆 From making experiential dreams (and Dreamhouses) come true with Airbnb to creating space for underrepresented entrepreneurs with Hello Seven, to pulling off art heists 🤫 (and all the other things we can’t tell you about on here 😉), there is no dream too big or detail too small for our team to tackle. We know that. And it’s so rewarding to have it recognized with one of the industry’s biggest honors. Everyone on team Verb is on our A-List. They are the real magic makers, and the reason our clients count on us to “quarterback”, calling the plays and always staying two steps ahead of their needs, every time. So please help us celebrate team Verb today! This A-List is a testament to them: Pauline Cronin, Rick Pomer, Christopher Bannon, Kindra Meyer 🏳️🌈, Karlet Hewitt, Samantha Johnson, Kirk Carlson, Andrew He, Dyanna Green, Alex Rodberg, Diana Ramos, Ashley Bermudez, Danni B., Gene Patrick Smith, Jaci Quincy, Alicia Gomez, Danny McCormick, Kayla Owens, Ryan Williams, Shaundra Howard, Anthony Santagati, Madeleine Magardician, Shelby Goodwin, Angel Santana John Piccirillo, Jeff Staadt, Alexia Bustios, Matthew J.

✨ Shannon Jones Runs It. ✨ We know it. And now everyone else does, too. 👏🏽 Last week we celebrated our co-founder at She Runs It’s 2024 Working Mother of the Year Awards, alongside a powerhouse group of women who aren’t just running the industry, but changing it for others.

So cheers to all this year’s fellow honorees, and all of the working parents in the marketing space and beyond! 🥂 We see you. We feel you. And we want you to know: you’re running it, too.
