10 Associates. When we chose the name for the business, we always knew it was special. And now upon entering a new decade – 2020, it holds more meaning now than ever. The number 10 for our agency is all about remembering what it feels like to be 10…. When you’re filled with unwavering optimism and hope, courage and determination, dreams, and pride. Anything was possible. We say it still is.

The energy represented by the number 2020 has a resonance of focus and relationships. It also resonates with conscientiousness, pragmatism, and teamwork. And contains infinite potential. Another trait of the 2020 energy is the tendency to work with others – taking the lead or outlining the steps, for accomplishing a secure foundation for the future.
And irresistibly, once a month this year there will be a moment in the evening when the time is 20/20/20/20/2020 (hours/minutes/seconds/day/year).
If the 1920s roared, it will be interesting to look back at this moment in time 10 years from now to see what badge this decade has been given. For us as an agency, we want it to be one of creative confidence, spirited collaboration and a singular determination to achieve infinite brand potential for ourselves and our clients. We celebrated our 15 year anniversary last year – they have been both challenging and magic in equal measures. The number 10 has been lucky for us, but then again some say you make your own luck.
