As many of you already know we’re all about making videos at the Rubicon Project. We like to nurture our fierce creative streak as a company.

Last fall our CEO, Frank Addante, was invited to attend The Lobby, an invite-only affair in Hawaii (I know, life is hard for him.) Part of attending was to make a video introducing himself and his background. We enlisted the help of friends and pro film-makers, Ryan Byrne and Wayland Boyd of Dead Horse Productions to create this excellent short that showcases Frank’s extensive experience all the while poking fun of LA stereotypes. (Ryan and Wayland were also responsible for our Golden Eggs video that was unveiled at AdTech San Francisco.)

Now, here we are almost a year later: company launched; 8 employees to almost 60; 21 million in funding; more than 1,300 customers; 250+ ad network partners; and over 50 BILLION ads served. As they say, you’ve we’ve come a long way baby. So, with all that growth and development since the last Lobby video, what can we possibly do to top it? You’ll have to wait and see but it’s going to be good…

Here’s a sneak peek to whet your appetite.

No one can ever accuse the Rubicon Project of being ordinary. As we like to say to our new employees, welcome to the jungle.

We’re a company that strives to stand out, be different, and are straight up about everything we do. We’re not a group that’s just working for the weekend or one that cracks under pressure. We work hard every day to build our business and just can’t get enough when it comes to making our customers happy.

We decided to have a little fun around the office and have an 80’s day that’s burning down the house with a lot of laughter and flashbacks to those good ole’ days. I’m a bit too shy to get decked out but did capture some of those outfits that take my breath away. Later tonight we’ll be following our special day with a radical Rubicon Project 80’s happy hour so everyone can bust a move.

Got a favorite 80’s movie, song or memory? Share it with us because, you know, it takes two to make a thing go right…

From all of us at the Rubicon Project, everybody have fun tonight, everybody wang chung tonight.
