Mortar’s work for St. Mary’s Medical Center (see examples here and below) has garnered quite a bit of exposure for its use of humor in heathcare advertising.

Yes, that’s right, we cracked up the Post Office.

Kudos to the Mortar creative team! Their next project will tackle tickling the funny bones of the guards at Buckingham palace.

¡Pura Viva!

Mortar is proud to present our newest website: PlayaViva.com.

Playa Viva is a new kind of resort – dedicated to the stewardship of the land it occupies, and the community it shares. If you’re looking for a different kind of destination, check it out. Just be careful to keep the sand out of your keyboard.
