Arnold wanted to give their employee’s the opportunity to ask questions. Anything from can we get cold brew in the office to what does losing a Client mean for the agency. The issue, employees were too shy to ask questions in front of an all-agency forum. The solution, build a site where they could ask anonymously, a newer aged approach to a suggestion box of sorts.
