not just a walk in the park

The manic energy and optimism that typically character ize ad agencies (even in these trying times) was focused last week on Owl’s Head Park in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. Grey’s New York office sent about 450 staffers to beautify the place last Wednesday as part of a volunteer initiative from agency president Steve Blamer, who termed it “Grey Give Back Day.”

In a memo to staffers, Blamer noted that Grey has been headquartered in New York since 1917, and that a return favor to the city was long overdue.
