Change Is Good

Affect made a couple of big changes in April. First, we've moved around the block to a wonderful new office. You can now find us at 989 Avenue of the Americas, 6th Floor, and it's definitely worth checking out. Second, Affect's name has gotten a little trimmer after dropping the "Strategies." You can now find our website at www.affect.com.
