ELVIS & BONAPARTE ADVERTISING

Once upon a time there was an ad agency established seemingly on the principle of self-amusement. The three founders, Jeff Berry, Cheryl Vandemore, and David Helfrey, had the cockamamie idea that they could make a living fusing funny ads to insightful strategy; an uholy hybrid. They were nuts.

But they did make a living. And they did quite well. And so did their clients. Then the Internet Bubble burst and their clients thought it was time to stop advertising. And they (both clients and Elvis) went the way of all companies who fail to advertise. Out. But it was fun for the seven years it lasted.
