Developer Themed Murals at 140 Proof, An Innovative Social Advertising Company in San Francisco

Tom Connor & John Manoogian III of 140 Proof

Last week while visiting San Francisco, I stop by the offices of 140 Proof, an innovative social advertising company that we use here on Laughing Squid. They provide the interactive ads that you see at the bottom of each post on the blog.

Where there I met up with Jon Elvekrog (co-founder & CEO), John Manoogian III (co-founder & CTO) and Tom Connor (director of Ad Ops). John and Tom gave me a tour of their SoMa headquarters, including a visit to their secret underground bunker that has a series of developer themed murals created by Mike Nowland and John Manoogian III, including “Hack”, “Scale” and “Deploy”. Here’s a time-lapse video of the murals being painted on the walls.
