We have a simple belief — Unexpected Works. It means that the best idea is the one you never saw coming. The thing that catches you so off guard that you can`t look away. And the only path to genuinely unexpected works is through creativity. Not just what passes for creativity because it answers a brief, looks the part and helps everyone sleep at night. But creativity that is foreign, surprising and interesting enough to cause jaws to drop and sales to soar. It`s having the fresh perspective and raw energy to bring something into the world that no one`s ever seen before. We`re talking about the courage to shake things up and maybe even tear a few things down. And knowing that what most would call the finish line is where the real work starts. We believe in people, product, and profit, in that order. For us, people always come first. They`re the soul of our agency. It takes awesome folks to make awesome work. That`s why we make sure everyone who comes through the door is as great as the people who are already here. It`s also why we constantly strive to build diverse teams where everyone brings something unique to the table. Because you can`t make the unexpected if you only work with the usual suspects. By bringing together diverse thinkers with different backgrounds and perspectives, we validate Bill Bernbach`s notion that an idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it. So, come be part of the magic.
For 30 years Vince Leonardo managed the in house tradeshow department at Rochester, New York based, Bausch & Lomb, one of the world`s largest suppliers of eye health products, including contact lenses, lens care products, medicines and implants for eye diseases. When the company decided to out-source the department, Vince started RES (Rochester Exhibit Services) and his first major client was Bausch & Lomb. Vince also opened an event company, LT Rentals, to serve both consumer and trade event business. Both businesses prospered and after 20 years, Vince turned the company reins over to his son, James Leonardo, who has led the growth of RES, becoming one of the nation`s top 50 tradeshow and event organizations – named by EVENT MARKETER magazine in their annual profile of top industry performers.
