    The Clubhouse at the Door

    A perfect Manhattan with rye, Carpano Antica & a brandied cherry — admission strictly curated

    There are no clients in the room. There are no prospects in the room. It was like a club almost.

    Why this cocktail? Howard's clubhouse is strictly curated. This Manhattan is the drink poured only for the people in the room.

    The Story

    Givner built the agency C-suite a clubhouse and he stands at the door. This Manhattan is the drink poured inside: rye for substance, Carpano Antica for the depth of an actual conversation, a single brandied cherry because the room only invites people who give as well as take. Vendors out except as sponsors. Listeners who only listen do not get a second pour.
