Congratulations to Sprouthouse founder @melanybrob

Congratulations to Sprouthouse founder @melanybrobinson, who was just named to the @incmagazine 2025 Female Founders 500 list!

While she prefers our clients to be in the spotlight rather than herself, we’re SO proud to shine the light on her today! In 2012 she started our agency with just a handful of clients (most of whom are still with us!) and a steadfast belief in herself. Today, she’s grown Sprouthouse—alongside growing her family—into a creative and nimble communications agency representing exciting clients from every corner of the country.

As a female entrepreneur and working mom, she demonstrates strength, leads with confidence, and is masterful with her time management skills! We’re so grateful she took a chance on herself and we’re so proud of you, @melanybrobinson!

Raise a shell 🦪 and a glass of bubbles 🥂 to

Raise a shell 🦪 and a glass of bubbles 🥂 to celebrate @bayonetbham's opening day! Bayonet, the sophomore concept from acclaimed chef Rob McDaniel (@robmcdaniel1) and his wife Emily (@emilylewismcdaniel), offers guests an impressive menu of sustainably sourced seafood and fresh raw bar offerings.

Located next to their flagship restaurant, @helenbham, Bayonet invites diners to experience seafood dishes paired with vibrant, locally-inspired flavors in a bold and exciting space.

Clement Architecture & Design, @prierconstruction, and Hatcher Schuster Interiors (@hatcher_schuster_interiors) designed the restaurant, which features metalwork from artist John Howell, commissioned artwork by @roscoe__hall, and custom dishes and pottery from @civilstoneware.

Birmingham friends: consider yourself lucky and make your Bayonet plans ASAP. We couldn’t be more thrilled to work alongside Rob, Emily, and the Bayonet team as they embark on this new chapter!

Every year we look forward to the Bourbon Classic

Every year we look forward to the Bourbon Classic Festival in Louisville, KY. It’s an unrivaled experience for bourbon connoisseurs and enthusiasts to indulge in their loves of food, cocktails, and America’s Native Spirit with tastings, workshops, and other rare events all weekend long.

Our team had a great time visiting and sipping with clients and friends from the spirits world between sampling the new-to-market and hard-to-find bourbons and ryes. We already can’t wait to come back next year!
