History
2004 Dan Isaacs and Adam Moore founded Springbox on March 1, 2004. Soon afterwards, Bart Knaggs, CEO of Capital Sports Entertainment (CSE), approached the co-founders to build websites for Lance Armstrong and the Austin City Limits Music Festival. CSE then hired the agency and put them on retainer. Later that year, Sony hired Springbox to create some banner advertisements. The agency also engaged with Dell, AMD and Metro PCS.
2005 Springbox won six new clients: AMD; Dell; Hoover's; Holt, Rinehart and Winston; MetroPCS and Rackspace. The agency also hired eight new team members, including partner Cy Huckaba to lead the design and development of client technical solutions.
2006 Springbox grew to a size of 23 employees and expanded their office for the second time in a single calendar year. They increased their engagement with Dell and attained three new clients: Circuit City, Perry Homes and Disney.
