Who we are and what we are about

Drumroll is an engagement agency focused on turning often overlooked moments of a customer journey into meaningful connections, in memorable and measurable ways.

To deliver on that promise, we do things a little differently.

We don’t have dedicated strategists. Around here, creative ideas come from everywhere--even the account team. We collaborate, equally, with each other and our clients. We leave our egos at the door.
