Can you believe that Noise 13 has officially been around for 12 years? I can’t, seems like the years wets by way too fast. Since it is our 12 year anniversary let me take you down the Noise timeline a bit.

It was over one of those long lunches with too much wine, that we decided on the Noise 13 name. My current reasoning: you want your brand to make some Noise in your industry, to be noticed by customers and press, plus 13 is just my favorite number. Just by luck, first office was on the 13th floor, and legally our business was confirmed with the state on Jan. 13th of 2000.

The first official client on Noise 13′s books was TeddyCrafters, and Fred Rubenstein, who is now the owner of photograph & frame. It says something nice about our services to know that we’ve been working with some of our clients for over 10 years. Beauty Company fits into that camp too.

Over the years, Noise 13 gained interns, hired a bookkeeper, moved a few times, then found our next main office on Folsom street. That’s when it started to get really fun = full time employees! That office had some great people, most of which still meet up for drinks. Anna Tou, Shalin Amin, Jamie Scanu, David Handlong, Kerry Nehil, and Chelsea Carpenter are some of my favorites. We even knocked down the walls, put in new floors and had some fantastic parties in that crooked old building.

We moved to South park after that, I got a dog, and had some staff changes: André Quiroz and Erin Hunt joined the office and others moved on.  Then in 2011 we moved to the current space on 7th street. Currently the office is full of great ladies: Hien, Christine, Evelyn, Marisa, and Victoria. We also have a few partners here with us, Erin Finnegan of Notori.us, Marc Fiortio or GammaNine, and Kimball Starr, Interior Design.

I am so grateful for all the wonderful people who have worked with Noise 13 over the years as clients or staff or partners. I am looking froward to another year of great projects, good wine, and passionate new clients. Year 13th will bring the best party I can manage, so be sure to save the date: 1/13/13.
