This is a very serious blog post. We are always looking for ways to improve our client services and give you what you’ve been asking for.
So, here is a very special post… about the furry (and non-furry) friends in the Uncanny Content team’s lives. You all loved our Cats & Canines of Uncanny Content post on Instagram, and have even shared serious feedback with us on our lack of cat pics. So… we’re just giving the people what they want.
Enjoy!
