[edit] History

2004 Dan Isaacs and Adam Moore founded Springbox on March 1, 2004. Soon afterwards, Bart Knaggs, CEO of Capital Sports Entertainment (CSE), approached the co-founders to build websites for Lance Armstrong and the Austin City Limits Music Festival. CSE then hired the agency and put them on retainer. Later that year, Sony hired Springbox to create some banner advertisements. The agency also engaged with Dell, AMD and Metro PCS.

2005 Springbox won six new clients: AMD; Dell; Hoover; Holt, Rinehart and Winston; MetroPCS and Rackspace. The agency also hired eight new team members, including partner Cy Huckaba to lead the design and development of client technical solutions.

2006 Springbox grew to 23 employees and expanded their office for the second time in a year. They increased their engagement with Dell and attained three new clients: Circuit City, Perry Homes and Disney. Springbox was nominated for the 10th annual Webby Awards for their work with Lollapalooza.

2007 Springbox hired 40 new employees. New clients included Premiere Global, Toshiba, Siemens and Callaway Golf. Revenue for the year totaled $6 million. Their Flash-based website for Lollapalooza won a Webby Award. On October 19, 2007, Enliven, the parent company of Unicast Company, announced the acquisition of Springbox, which subsequently absorbed advertising agency Makos into its Austin office.

2008 Springbox absorbed The Studio and expanded operations to Los Angeles. The Springbox LA office specializes in digital photography, 3D and CGI technology. Springbox was recognized by the Austin Business Journal as one of the Best Places to Work – the only interactive marketing agency on the list. In October, Enliven was acquired by DG Fastchannel, Inc.; as a result, Springbox became an independent operating unit of DG Fastchannel. New clients included Central Market and PayPal.

2009 New clients include Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (Las Vegas).

2010 New clients include Sweet Leaf Tea.[citation needed]
