Flying Hippo

Today we pause the pixels, put down the campaigns, and take a moment to honor the ones who gave everything so we could do what we love. Thank you. 🇺🇸

Happy Memorial Day from all of us at Flying Hippo.

Meet Aaron - our Digital Marketing Program Manager and the guy who makes sure your campaigns are as dialed in as his dinner reservations.

Aaron brings a marketer's mind and a food lover's soul to everything he does. By day he's orchestrating digital strategy, keeping programs on track, and making sure every campaign fires on all cylinders.

By night - and weekends, and honestly any free moment - he's the force behind SWFL Food Ju**ie, a Southwest Florida dining guide he built from scratch into a full-blown local institution. The man grew up in a bakery. He was born for this.

When he's not eating or marketing (or marketing eating), Aaron is on the rugby pitch - which, if you've ever seen him, makes complete sense. We're fairly certain our colleagues in the office looked up one day, saw Aaron walk in, and briefly wondered if Tormund Giantsbane had pivoted to digital advertising. He had.

We're very glad he chose us.

Big spaces carry big opportunities.

We recently completed a large-scale environmental branding installation for NETTTS, helping transform their campus into a more cohesive, intentional experience that reflects who they are and where they’re going.

When a space starts telling the right story, it does more than look better-it helps people understand the value, feel the culture, and see the potential of what’s possible there. Built for where they’re headed next.

Some things should bring the heat today:

🌶️ Salsa
🥑Guac
🌮 Tacos

Your branding?…we’ll circle back on that tomorrow.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

May the 4th be with you. May your brand be strong. May your competitors feel a great disturbance in the Force. We are the hippos you're looking for.

"Opting Out"

They said "that’s not how this works"... but I already hit unsubscribe, so we’ll see who wins.

🚨 BIG NEWS 🚨

After years of bold ideas and fearless creativity…we’re finally doing it.

We’re rebranding.

Introducing our brand new Flying Hippo logo.

It’s sleeker. It’s bolder. Some are calling it “unexpected.” Others are calling it “legally questionable.” We’re calling it the future.

Full reveal dropping soon. Prepare yourselves.

(And maybe prepare your feedback. Don't worry, we have thick skin.)
