Who says you can’t run an ad agency out of a trailer in your backyard? — Austin American-Statesman

Your typical ad agency has guys in $550 suits working in a posh high-rise with glass walls, marble floors and polished mahogany tables.

Then there’s Big Blue Sky Creative, a two-man ad agency that operates out of a tiny travel trailer in Chad Swisher’s South Austin backyard.

“After all, it’s Austin, so why not?” said Chad, who bought the 14-foot, 8-inch ‘71 model Scotty for $650 about five years ago and fixed it up. He says it was “a hunk of junk” when he found it. 

What Chad calls the “reception area” consists of a new awning and two red lawn chairs by the trailer’s front door.
