Over the years, Sonic Union has picked up a few holiday traditions:
• Throw a party! Twas all about Zoom n' brews this year.
• Put our spin on a holiday classic! Getting closer and closer to 'Full Album' territory.
• Give, give and give! Our hearts went out to Food Bank For New York City, Citymeals on Wheels, City Harvest and Feeding America. Please join us in supporting them!
For a year filled with social distance, somehow we've never felt closer to our colleagues and clients. We couldn't have done it without you. Wishing you a safe and happy holiday!
Twas' the end of 2020, Josh Gad adapted a classic - giving us one more chance to appreciate this year's ass kick.
We had a ball working with the Taylor Strategy team on this charming holiday spot for Captain Morgan!

With schools operating remotely across the country, kids have been experiencing social isolation, stress and anxiety like never before. We Got You, a new podcast created and produced by our ECP Halle Petro, helps kids aged 9-13 get their hard questions answered by older teens who have already faced such obstacles. We’re proud to share this week’s episode of Jayla, an 18 year old from Cleveland and the Boys and Girls Club 2020 Youth Award Winner. Jayla shares her experiences with anxiety and sexual abuse as a child, and shows how she got through it.
The podcast is also produced by Highland Heights native Halle Petro.
No judging when we say find your joy wherever you can this year! For Rufus, the family pup, it's an 8k hi-def Microsoft dreamworld of Minecraft's Dogtopia and their other legendary games.
McCann New York takes us through this cute story while Rock Paper Scissors NYC adds their magic touch; and JSM Music scores a heartwarming piece that leads us into Supergrass' 'Alright!'

The artist Vi Luong and Hornet really captured New York's majesty in the latest New York Lottery campaign, "All Aboard." Each vignette shows off some of the state's most recognizable destinations, complete with Vernon Duke’s classic jazz tune, “Autumn in New York."
Steve Rosen, Paul Weiss, Fernando Ascani, Justine Cortale and Nathanael Taylor had a great ride with the McCann, Hornet + Human team!

Plans Change. While this Smirnoff campaign was originally shot to be an epic summer party, the smart creatives at 72andSunny switched gears and urged everyone to #HangOutFromHome instead. We were thrilled to be a part of this project and are thankful to work with such a great team at 72andSunny NY and Cosmo Street Editorial. How are you hanging out from home?

Every morning at Sonic, Jen would ask "Alright ding-dongs what do you wanna listen to today?" So we decided to all chip in and create a playlist of what we're currently grooving to at home. Check it out!
What are you listening to? https://open.spotify.com/playlist/18HaILLQ4PJpbp828ZLJgL?si=AIy6TMnCT6mKrfAIh9AwTA

Do you know our Barn Boy, Dad-Joke-Making, Chief Tech guy Ben? If you don’t, you should know he’s literally kept Sonic running during our transition to remote work. Basically just give a big hip-hip-hooray for Ben! (And if you need some fuzziness in your life, follow his kitties on insta @cricketnhobbs )
Here at the end of Remote Week 1, everyone is getting pretty settled into their home setups scattered around the country. Take a look! And share your home studios with us. #homesuitehome
Stay safe out there, friends ❤️
