I love Goodby Silverstein and everything they represent, but that’s not the reason I took this job (…) This is an office that wants to break out and do frightening and independent work. That’s what attracted me to it.

Paul Caiozzo

Paul is an entrepreneur (…) He likes to make things, whether that’s an ad or a completely new product or brand. That sort of creative leadership will be invaluable as we build GS&P’s presence here in New York.

Obviously, when you are a newer office, you want to build your client list. But we are looking for the right clients with whom we believe we can do unique work
