"Working with Cake & Arrow has opened my eyes personally to the importance of understanding agent and human behavior in our design process. Skeptical at first, I got to see how putting these insights at the forefront creates results."

“I must say C&A really changed the perception I had of agencies. I only knew the blah blah type of agencies, the ones that were selling hot air. You guys immediately proved what you had to offer, in a down to earth kind of way. I’m really glad I had the chance to collaborate with C&A."
"Extremely impressed with the quality of work and results on this project. Personally, I loved working with all of you. You're smart, insightful, human, and engaged."
SVP, Chubb
“In working with C&A, our meetings are energetic, and there is the spirit of wanting to work together to understand one another which feels good – not like a typical vendor/vendee relationship. That’s what’s different, and that’s what makes this partnership great.”
CMO, Holmes Murphy
"Working with your team has been a fantastic experience. We've seen so much value in your expertise in areas that aren't in our wheelhouse. You've exceeded our expectations and simply knocked it out of the park."
