Three established creatives -- Arthur Bijur, Pat Stern and David McNamara have launched Workshop, a full-service ad agency with complete production capabilities across all media. It offers strategy, creative, digital marketing and branding solutions, as well as editing and post-production services. The shop's first assignment is for the Robin Hood Foundation. The award-winning co-founders: Bijur was a creative co-founder of Cliff Freeman; Stern was R/GA creative director and McNamara has worked at DDB and headed Maysles spot ad division. "We will approach all of our work as a creative agency looking through the lens of a production company," stated David McNamara. The partners consider Workshop a hybrid agency model, with its emphasis on craftsmanship and its ability to conceive, shoot, produce, develop, engineer, craft and polish ideas in one creative studio."
