Jack Morton

Jack Morton , experiential marketing firm, is apparently a big fan of Cardboard Safari as they feature Bucky and Fred in their New York “Trophy Room”. Their clients include many of the very biggest brands in the world, including HP, GM, MTV, IBM, and a bunch of non-acronymed names, too. Among other impressive things, they designed that incredibly flashy ESPN SportsCenter desk and the Opening Ceremonies at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
