Every company should have a compelling origin story.

Ours is boring and you kinda had to be there to get it. So here’s a more interesting one…

England,
5th Century AD

A knight of King Arthur’s court had been sent to investigate a strange occurrence at a village on the western coast. There, an orb had descended from the sky and remained floating just above the surf. It emitted a radiance as bright as the sun, yet the sphere itself was as black as a moonless night. It made a low, spooky “brrrrrrrr” sound that was getting on the villagers' nerves.

As the knight approached, the orb spoke: “Answer me these riddles three, and I shall form an LLC.” The knight was well-versed in the art of combat, but unprepared for a war of wits. Nevertheless, he accepted the challenge.

“First riddle,” the orb intoned, “what is the capital of Spain?”

“Orb,” replied the knight, “I may be but a simple servant of the Round Table, but it seems to me that’s more of a trivia question and not really a riddle.”

“Congratulations,” cried the orb, “you have passed the challenge and now I shall set up a corporation in the state of Texas in the year 2020.”

The orb floated back into the heavens, where the proper paperwork was filed centuries in advance. And that is how 8AM Creative, Inc came to be.

Every company should also have people who work there.

But it doesn’t necessarily list them all on the website so here are the six director-level people you should know…

**Sam Kimelman**

The 8AM team has collaborated together for years and today is a finely-tuned creative crew, working in conjunction like the chassis of an Italian sports car, or some less dehumanizing analogy.

**Kelsie Singleton**

Art Director

Over the course of their careers, this team has worked with such brands as Whole Foods, Calvin Klein, Lone Star Beer, Target, Purina, the Harry Ransom Center, NASCAR, and many many many many more.
