The secret of Lucid is no real secret: It’s the people. Mike Morse went out and hired really great people – creative, professionals who love what they do, know what they’re doing, and are a joy to work with. And when we all work together, “great” becomes “exceptional.” If it sounds simple, it’s not. Staffing an agency with friendly experts who play well with others is next to impossible, which is why agencies like Lucid are rare. But we’re here and we’re eager to work with you.
