AGAR

Meet AGAR’s new Account Director, Maggie Schwartz! Maggie joins us from the University of Kentucky as an accomplished advertising leader with over 15 years of prior experience driving brand growth and leading cross-functional teams.

Since joining AGAR, she has dived deep into building a collaborative culture, optimizing our processes, and translating deep insights into scalable growth initiatives. Maggie is passionate about data-driven marketing strategies and helping turn complex information into insights that improve how decisions are made.

Welcome, Maggie! 👋

Two of AGAR's guiding principles are to stay curious and stay open to the new. So for our team trip to Yayoi Kusama's All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins at the Cincinnati Art Museum, we left our phones in our pockets and brought a 2012 Sony Cyber-shot instead. Sometimes the freshest way to see something is through an old lens 📷

Kusama called the pumpkin a kind of self-portrait, and standing among a dozen of her pumpkin paintings and inside the mirror room felt especially meaningful after her recent passing. For a team that builds experiences, it was a lesson in how scale, light, color, and repetition can move people and stay with them.

Thank you, Cincinnati Art Museum for having us. The exhibit is on view through October 18, with Thursday evenings from 5–8 free.

Yesterday, Kenton County - Government broke ground on Fox Ridge Park, beginning a transformation that will shape how generations gather, explore, and experience the outdoors in Northern Kentucky.

Set across 225 acres of rolling hills and distinctive terrain, the former golf course will become a landmark park for the county, bringing a new scale of recreation and adventure to the region.

AGAR led the park’s experience strategy, naming, and brand identity, with our work continuing through wayfinding and signage as the vision takes shape.

Three ridges. One park. A legacy in the making.

Congratulations to Kenton County and the project team on this defining milestone. Fox Ridge Park is expected to open in late summer 2028.

Every venue has a story... our job is to capture its essence and translate that feeling into content that lives across channels.

Yesterday, our team stepped behind and in front of the camera at Prim, capturing the details that define the experience: the glow of the room, the music, the cocktails, and the people who make the night their own 💄 ✨

Together, those moments create a visual story that brings Prim’s personality and programming to life long after the shoot wraps.

The best nights aren’t simply planned. They’re curated. And Prim sets the scene.

Camp Buffalo Trace Distillery was one for the books

Yurts styled for comfort. Fireside seating. Woodworking, tastings, trivia. A few friendly bourbon challenges. Two weekends of overnight stays, and a whole lot of Kentucky hospitality.

Every detail was designed to turn a visit into a memory.
