Our Agency Legacy
Based in Los Angeles, our firm has led branding, marketing, and business-development programs for some of the world’s most recognized companies. We helped develop and launch consumer icons including Johnny Rockets and SKECHERS—transforming ambitious ideas into enduring lifestyle brands.
From the beginning, our agency grew alongside its clients. We started in healthcare, serving Fortune 100 companies including American Medical International (AMI), before expanding into commercial real estate. There, we created fully integrated programs combining public relations, branded materials, and strategic marketing for major Southern California developers.
As our capabilities expanded, so did our reach. Early investments in advanced digital production and in-house photography provided a competitive advantage that earned Texaco’s trust and opened the door to the oil and gas industry at a pivotal time.
As Shell and Texaco’s U.S. marketing and public relations agency, we served as a B2B branding partner—managing national category and brand programs while leading extensive co-branding initiatives. From convenience stores to fast-food partnerships that created new, high-margin retail revenue, we demonstrated how strategic branding could directly drive business growth.
By helping transform traditional fuel stops into full-service retail destinations, we reshaped the customer experience at the pump. That same ability to identify opportunities, build compelling brands, and create scalable revenue platforms now drives the development of our own brands, business ventures, and expansion programs featured here.

Building Brands That Become Icons
Our work helped develop and launch Johnny Rockets and SKECHERS—two bold ideas that grew into globally recognized consumer brands.
Johnny Rockets’ second site in Beverly Hills.
Our Johnny Rockets team helped launch the first two Los Angeles locations.
After the grand opening celebration of the original Johnny Rockets on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, we installed the second Johnny Rockets in Beverly Hills—a testament to our role in helping iconic brands expand their footprint from a single flagship to hundreds of recognizable destinations worldwide.
SKECHERS began with a vision — and an office in Beverly Hills.
From extensive brand development planning sessions to the brand’s first-ever campaign, our team set the foundation for what would become a global footwear powerhouse.
The initial campaign included a breakthrough photo shoot in Mexico, captured alongside our Fashion West Magazine spread — a launch that set the tone for SKECHERS’ bold, youthful image and rapid rise.
Serving as the U.S. marketing and public relations agency for Shell and Texaco, for over a decade.
Brand Experiences Within Brands
We managed the Shell and Texaco co-branding program in the US, connecting co-brand partners and developing implementation tools for digital in-store local store marketing programs. This enabled back-office promotional campaigns tailored for each location.

WebLSM (Web Local Store Marketing)
Originally developed for 30,000 Shell and Texaco retail locations across the United States
WebLSM is a ready-made platform for local store marketing—delivering hyperlocal outreach, digital tools, and repeat-customer strategies at the community level. From independent retailers to national chains, it helps brands turn individual locations into stronger local marketing centers.
Administered by BrandMob, WebLSM can serve as a centralized hub for marketing services, software, training, and subscription-based resources tailored to franchisees and independent operators alike.
We introduced a co-branded outdoor program to attract hungry drivers who may also purchase gas or convenience store items in one stop.
We developed the Shell FormulaFinish car wash program and managed the initial test facility in Tampa, Florida.
Following pilot testing, our team updated the Shell Branded Car Wash exterior design.
From Texaco Star 21 to Shell RVI:
Shaping Iconic Retail Identities
When Shell and Texaco merged their U.S. downstream operations, they chose our team because we had already developed and led Texaco’s nationwide Star 21 program — designing every interior and exterior element that gave the brand its modern, recognizable look. Shell trusted us to carry that same expertise forward with its new Retail Visual Identity (RVI) initiative — overseeing the full U.S. rollout while aligning with their global brand system.
We developed collateral materials and digital back-office support systems across every major category — including facility upgrades, convenience stores, fast food, car washes, financing programs, and diversity initiatives — delivering a complete suite of integrated marketing support for both the Texaco and Shell brands.
Print Marketing Examples, and Implementation guides for retailers and wholesalers. Later we developed similar materials for Shell.
We developed interior and exterior point-of-sale programs for both brands, including original photography, design, and production.
Texaco was once a cornerstone of American motoring, with a retail network and brand recognized across the country. Its story entered a new chapter when much of its U.S. downstream network transitioned to Shell. The change brought thousands of locations, established customer relationships, and decades of operating experience into one of the world’s largest energy brands. Our agency helped guide the marketing and communications behind that transition, preserving the value of Texaco’s legacy while introducing motorists to a new identity.
Designer Parking:
Brand & Program Development, PR and a High-Profile Grand Opening
In an era when everything was going designer, Dorothy Lucey of Los Angeles’ Channel 2 News covered the grand opening of the nation’s first-ever designer parking facility.
When we developed WallyPark, we named everything Wally. Below are the WallyGuard and WallyShuttle.
A Parking Evolution That Went Viral
Before social media, streaming, or AI buzz, Laugh-In’s Artie Johnson turned a WallyPark mix-up into pure radio magic—a moment that spread the old-fashioned way: everyone talking about it.
What began as a practical solution for a Los Angeles high-rise quickly evolved into the most significant airport-adjacent parking business in the U.S. and a pioneer in premium parking services. WallyPark’s “designer parking” debut made national headlines, with coverage on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, and front-page stories in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and over 150 other publications.
Remarkably, WallyPark smashed its three-year revenue targets in just three months, setting the stage for explosive growth.
