Where Walrus offices, New York



Seven-year-old Walrus, which formed from the ashes of Mad Dogs & Englishmen, has Amazon as its largest client. But it’s also known for stunts like a 2009 app for steakhouse Maloney & Porcelli that generated fake expense receipts so high-rollers could hide their pricey steak lunches after the Lehman Brothers meltdown. Deacon Webster, who co-founded the agency with wife Frances, also has an affinity for clients like now-defunct Radar, The Economist, Comedy Central, AMC and Howard Stern.
