It was a busy week in the Big Apple! In addition to announcing a sweet new collaboration with Levain Bakery, The Agency’s local office bustled with excitement as we launched the New York edition of our custom-crafted newspaper, The Agency Times. To celebrate the debut, our Manhattan team created an interactive pop-up event with our newest partner—and enlisted the help of the iconic New York City Ballet.
“We are curating lifestyle experiences at The Agency,” said President Rainy Hake Austin, who was in town in time to experience the pop-up event. “To have a partner like Levain, who represents excellence and helps bring comforting, delicious experiences to life—it’s a relationship that has come together like a perfect marriage.”
In Union Square, just outside our NYC headquarters, agents, local marketing team members, and NYC Ballet ballerinas handed out copies of the newspaper along with Levain goodies, combining hot-off-the-press real-estate tips with New York’s favorite fresh-baked cookie.
“You could really feel the energy of New York today,” said Juliet Clapp, Senior Vice President & Managing Partner of The Agency North East. “People on the street wanted to be a part of what was happening here at The Agency. While we are a luxury boutique firm, we’re also a company that loves to engage with our neighbors and local communities—and have a little fun while we’re doing it!”
The Agency’s new partnership with Levain Bakery creates opportunities for memorable client gifting and event catering—just in time for the approaching holiday season. In this fall issue of The Agency Times, The Agency highlights the brokerage’s award-winning campaign, The Perfect Setting, an ode to each client’s unique perspective on the comforts of home.
In addition to the newspaper and Levain partnership launch, the New York office held its first-ever In Good Company event. This exclusive gathering brought together industry-leading women—including Rainy Austin and Juliet Clapp— for an inspiring daylong symposium that encouraged professional growth, idea-sharing, and connection.
Congratulations to The Agency’s entire New York team for creating and hosting such dynamic, collaborative events throughout the city—well done! (Now, where are those cookies?)
