Join us in congratulating Koda in her achievement - she may growl and bark at you but rest assured she will simultaneously lick you as if you were smothered in honey.
Congrats little lady, you’re very cute.

We do a lot of work for alcohol clients - it’s not all we do - but sometimes we get to build something truly spectacular in that world. The footprint we finished last week for Lagunitas Brewing Co is a perfect example.
Shout out to the entire team for making this one come together with special thanks to Jamie for his tireless dedication to perfection. It turned out RAD AF!

Finally to close the loop on our 150th Kentucky Derby activations, here is part 4 which highlights our Woodford Reserve - The Flavor Note Collection footprint.
It was an absolute blast working with everyone to bring these activations to life this year out at Churchill Downs and we’re already pumped AF for Derby 151 next year!
Congrats once again Mystic Dan! 🏇

CONGRATULATIONS RHODEY!
Starting his life out in the ATL before ending up with the good people at the North Shore Animal League - where we adopted him from - Rhodey has truly lived up to his name with his travels as well as worked hard to earn his place as the May 2024 Black Ops Productions Employee of the Month!
Please share in this month long appreciation by sending healthy treats, raw bones and Kong toys to the shop at his attention. 🦴

Variety is the spice of life! Just as it takes multiple different flavor notes to create the perfect bourbon, it takes a crew of incredibly talented unique individuals - each with their own particular set of skills - to make a truly spectacular team. And by golly - we`ve got one hell of a team!
We`re plowing along getting ready for Derby and a few other upcoming events... here`s a peek at what we`ve been up to this past week!

This past week our community was hit with damaging weather and tornados. We`re glad damage was minimal and no lives were lost.
With that said, our team still plowed through our missions at hand and got our footprints out the door. Springtime in Kentucky can be tricky but having a strong team makes all that magic happen. And we`re thankful for them.

We would like to recognize Dewey today as our Employee of the Month for April 2024. Congratulations Dew Drop, you make us better every day.
One of the things we look forward to the most with the arrival of Spring each year is starting our preparations for The Kentucky Derby. This year is even more special with it being the 150th Run for the Roses!
Our current favorites here at Black Ops for the win are Catching Freedom, Domestic Product and Hades... but we’re still just over a month away and nothing is guarenteed until them ponies line up out at Churchill Downs. 🏇🏇🏇
Here’s a quick peep at what we’ve been up to over the past week.
