In February of 2005, Kirk Souder and Greg Beauchamp got together and formed Granite Pass - a project-based creative resource working for agencies and brands alike.
Kirk was a Founder and Creative Partner of Ground Zero in Los Angeles, where he and his partners took the company from zero to $150+ million in billings and from three to a hundred people in five years, and created internationally renowned and awarded campaigns for brands like ESPN, Sega, and the Anti-Tobacco Initiative.
Another great thing about Ground Zero for Kirk was that this is where he met Greg Beauchamp, who over the course of just a few short years had become the Design Director of Ground Zero. Greg took charge, overseeing all Ground Zero's design and art direction for clients like ESPN, Sega, Atlantis, E! Entertainment Networks.
