After several productive and creative years, Henson started her own design firm Whippet Creative.

After graduating from the University of Mississippi in 1985 with a degree in radio and television journalism, he began his marketing and advertising career in Memphis with a stint at Naegele Outdoor Advertising as an account executive. After a few years, Adcox applied his creative and marketing skills as the Director of Marketing Services for The Peabody and Belz Hotels.

In 1992, he started his own creative firm Whippet Creative Works -- a marketing and advertising agency whose philosophy espouses the qualities of his favorite dog breed: speed, strength, trust, adaptability and loyalty.

Whippet Creative has allowed Adcox the opportunity to work with clients ranging from Fortune 500 firms to small start up companies in developing effective marketing, advertising and communication strategies that leverage the power of the new media environment.

The knowledge Adcox gained over the years in marketing and communications has been instrumental in honing his entrepreneurial skills with the development of several successful online companies, including SnappyBaby.com, TheLunchBuzz.com and MailSpeek.com.

Adcox continues to broaden his marketing and communications skills through the application of online technology, innovative web development and social media.

Golda
As the senior whippet on staff, Golda is the go-to-girl in charge of making the office run smoothly. She retired several years ago from the show ring and is used to being treated as a diva making very special requests around the office for her daily Evian water and organic raw carrots.


Lydia
Although Lydia's favorite past-times are catching frisbees and running agility trials, her nickname around the office is "slacker". She typically arrives late to the office and often makes special requests to take off early. Sometimes she doesn't even show up at all and Golda will find her still lounging in the bed.


Olive
Olive began working in the office as a young intern at only 12 weeks old. Although she is young, Olive is very enthusiastic, immensely talented and helps out in many ways. Olive's specialty is paper shredding. When not working around the office, Olive loves traveling and dog shows.
