Atlas.

Atlas is small. Atlas is opinionated. Atlas will, given the chance, climb your bar cart. We don't recommend leaving him unsupervised next to the cake. He has opinions about the cake. We have learned this.

He is, however, the single best icebreaker we have ever worked with. Guests who walk in stiff leave the cocktail hour holding a phone full of goat photos and a softer mood. There is a science to this — there is a softening that happens when a small horned animal in a knit bowtie noses your knee — and Atlas is the science.

He works best at festivals, brand activations, and any event where you want guests laughing within ninety seconds of arriving. He works in a herd of three with his crew Cypress and Pine. They are, all three, very good at what they do.
