TQS takes on the White House
It looks like the White House has rebranded its logo… So we asked our staff, “Uh, what do you think?” Some responses included insightful and informed perspectives from our savviest of professionals. Others, well… didn’t. And still some takes were presented with such a reckless indifference that you have to wonder if it was a […]

Trashed: A Buffalo News Review
If you’ve been following along with the real-time investigative reporting on the disappearance of our trash cans, you may be shocked to notice that this story has gone entirely unnoticed (or ignored) by the media. You and I know, as believers that the truth is out there, that there’s a reason for this. It’s easier […]
The TQS September Issue
Recently, we reviewed our online presence to see if there was something missing from our contributions to the internet. Obviously, this blog is rich with shrewd tidbits and thought-provoking musings on a myriad of relevant topics, but we couldn’t help wondering where else our signature blend of wit and insight might apply. And then it […]
Trashed: A Fair to Remember
After a brief hiatus, we’ve returned for Part 3 of Trashed. I hope you weren’t holding your breath. I know it seems like I don’t have work to do or a life to live outside of this investigation and it’s true, I don’t. I went to New York City over the weekend and spent the […]
Trashed: A Theft on Lake Street
The Quilted Squirrel is located on Lake Street in Hamburg, NY at the intersection of Highland Ave in a rather unassuming building housing several other local businesses. Though Lake Street is a thoroughfare, the streets adjacent to it are quiet and residential—home to families, retirees, playgrounds and parks. In the summer, the lawns are manicured […]

Ellen, Chinchillas, and the Personality Cult of Guy Fieri: Meet Our New Hires

Courtney joins us as a graphic designer, and Olivia joins as our resident copywriter. You’ll probably be seeing […]
Words of Encouragement
Everyone, meet Kit! Kit recently joined our team as an intern – and besides helping us with daily tasks and laughing at our jokes, she’s also great at giving the occasional pep talk. So great, in fact, that sometimes it takes us a few days to really let her profound words sink in. This was […]
The Man Behind the 9am Bag of Buffalo Wing Flavored Pretzel Thins
Here at the Quilted Squirrel, we have a handful of daily occurrences that manage to provide a sense of comfort among the chaos of agency life. They’re kind of like our rocks* that keep us grounded. The “beep beep” of the alarm system when the door opens. The whirring noise when the tenant upstairs flushes […]
