Happy Birthday Bailey!
This year, our firm reached a great milestone – we’ve been in business for over 25 years! For me, it has been an exciting and wonderful journey. In honor of this impressive milestone, I thought it was appropriate to share some personal thoughts and learnings – 25 to be exact!
1) Always ask questions. I consider it part of my job description.
2) Many people will make you doubt your sanity because they simply do not believe what is possible.
3) FEAR stops momentum. RISK provides learning and rewards.
4) Vision is what energizes a company. It provides hope, encourages dreams and shines light on the possibilities.
5) Change is certain; progress is not. Change should not be feared, rather embraced. It’s the future.
6) Communicate your intentions and you will be surprised how many people will help you succeed.
7) INVEST IN YOUR PEOPLE – THEY ARE YOUR FIRM.
8) INVEST IN CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS – THEY GROW YOUR FIRM.
9) Every year is another opportunity to get smarter and make fewer bad investments.
10) Shape versus Make. Engineer Your Own Destiny.
11) Confidence breeds confidence.
12) Stretch and reach for higher, loftier goals every day.
13) Diversity matters more than you will ever be able to appreciate.
14) Collaboration helps to make your business sustainable.
15) The most important and valuable assets of our firm walk in and out the door daily.
16) It’s a MARATHON not a SPRINT.
17) Asking for help is not weak . . . its smart.
18) SACRIFICE is a CHOICE that enables you to succeed.
19) Say “thank-you” often.
20) Take time to recognize those who have the courage to lead and take risks.
21) Tell the people you work with how much you value them.
22) Display optimism . . . it can be viral.
23) CELEBRATE every day.
24) Ask people what they think and then listen! Listen! Listen!
25) Our clients hire us for our expertise. They get our hearts and soul for free.
Chris, 25 years is a long time…even in dog years. Your ability to not just survive, but thrive, is a tribute to persistence, adaptability, and a keen sense for how to create value. I look forward to dancing at BBC’s 50th Anniversary party!
Congratulations,
Richard Clifford
Chris,
This is Len Sadek. I am alive and well at Lowe’s. Wow, 25 years. Congratulations on your company’s milestone!
Congratulations on this impressive achievement. Good things happen to good people and good agencies keep their clients and their employees happy and motivated.
All the best,

To Chris and the whole gang at Bailey — congrats on reaching this milestone. It has been, and continues to be, a privilege and pleasure to work with you all. Here’s to 25 more years of great people, great clients and great ideas!
Congratulations Chris,
I very much appreciate your 25 points and observations. You can bet we will be remembering them in our work here at The Community Foundation. We’re a mere 13 years old. I always thought your retreats in our office filled the building with energy. Onward.

Chris, congratulations on reaching 25 years.
In my opinion Bailey has succeeded by really understanding the clients needs (even when they didn’t), giving your team the opportunity to push the envelop, developing crisp creative thinking and then executing well!
Well done!

Chris and All,
Congratulations on reaching this milestone. Your journey continues, its destination unknown and your ability to remain energized, creative and driven to change and improve are testament to your leadership and the good people you have on-board. Stay well.
Continued success,
David R Goldenberg
Wise words! Great thoughts – and to start and sustain a successful business for 25 years means that they come from someone who knows how to succeed.
Congratulations!

Congratulations! You were destined for greatness. Happy 25th.

Congratulations Chris and Team!
25 years in business is a great success, 25 years in the marketing services industry is a MONUMENTAL SUCCESS. I believe you can’t buy longevity in business, you have to earn it. You’ve earned it.
Way to go and here’s to 25 more years.

Dear Chris and all colleagues,
congratulations!!! I couldn´t do the 25 with one company myself. Had to start 3 times…
Be proud and live your philosophy as you describe it so clear. I´ll learn from it too.
I wish you and our GDS-idea further 25 years.
Mach so weiter…
Knut
Congrats Chris! I really enjoyed reading your reflections…especially #3! All the best to you and your team!
Chris,
Reading you list reminds me of how much I’ve missed your smiling face and you positive outlook over the years. You could always do nothing but be successful. Congratulations.
