Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis is proud to represent clients across many industries including entertainment, social good, tech and lifestyle and we tell their stories through a variety of mediums. Were proud of each and every campaign we execute, but you may be wondering why we dont have more than a landing page as our website. While many of our clients are household names (you know them, were sure of it), our digital footprint is purposefully small. We fly under the radar and we like it that way.
