Five-star recruit teams with The Agency Hack to create Clay’s Color Crew
Ken Womack and Mike Stopper launched their boutique advertising agency, The Agency Hack, earlier this year. The Texas Exes have now partnered with another Longhorn to create a 501(c)3 that will benefit kids with autism in South Dallas.
Clay’s Color Crew™ is a Dallas-based, 501(c)3 nonprofit started in 2024 by Colin Simmons, an edge rusher from Duncanville and highly touted five-star football recruit now attending The University of Texas. While his skills on the field make headlines, it’s his special off-the-field relationship with his younger brother Clayton that’s the real story.
Clayton was diagnosed with autism in 2020 at age six, and the family quickly realized there were limited resources and activities around them for high-energy kids on the spectrum. Highlighting Clay’s love of colors, Colin and his mom Monica McCarley founded the nonprofit with the goal of bringing autism resources and facilities to underserved and lower-economic areas in South Dallas.
The family connected with The Agency Hack earlier this summer, and the agency has helped with the brand development including the name, logo, website, social media and PR. Womack, also a well-known painter and sculptor in the Dallas art community and the first-ever artist in residence at Scout Design in Dallas, will be donating 25% of his art sales over the next few months.
“As a Texas Ex myself, I’m proud to partner with Colin Simmons and Clay’s Color Crew,” said Ken Womack. “We’re calling this initiative ‘Art for Autism’ as we brighten the future for the autistic youth in South Dallas.”
Womack’s unique, oversized pop art sculptures can be found and purchased online at KenWomack.com. Available artwork includes TEXAS TOAST – a 4-foot lifelike piece of toast in the shape of Texas – as well as a 5-foot cassette mix tape, a giant burnt Pop-Tart, and an 8-foot-tall, diamond-encrusted nunchucks.
“The Agency Hack has gone above and beyond for my family and our nonprofit,” said Colin Simmons, founder of Clay’s Color Crew. “Together, we’re hoping to raise funds to benefit those on the spectrum like my little brother, Clayton.”
