Research notes

Miami agency (later Boulder) that created the original Florida truth campaign and co-created the national launch with Arnold. Now trades as Crispin, 'Part of the Stagwell Network' (crispin.com, fetched 2026-10-22); trade press reports Stagwell merged MMI, Vitro and Observatory into CP+B in 2023 and shortened the name to Crispin in April 2024 (Campaign US, search results, not opened). The CSPI 'Real Bears' anti-soda film (2012) was by Alex Bogusky personally, not CP+B (not re-checked). Credits checked 2026-10-22 against fetched pages: all four (Adweek 1998, 2000, 2000, 2001; article text before the paywall). Corrected 2026-10-22: website now crispin.com; Florida entries linked to the fl-truth case; 'Good Grades' year 1999 -> 2001 and movie trailer dated 2000 from Adweek publication dates; national-launch source moved from the Cannes 'lovethework' entry (renders no credits) to Adweek's 'Web Letters' story.
