Nitpicking, but missing disclosure:

OP works for a company named Instrument that does work on several things for Google. Google is a competitor to Facebook.

   My name is Thomas Reynolds. I'm a Technical Lead at Instrument, lucky denizen of Portland, active Crossfitter, a foodie, a cocktail enthusiast and all-around nerd.

   In late 2011, Google came to Instrument and tasked us with designing an online product experience for the global launch of Google's first phone with Android 4.0, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

   Partnering with Google, we crafted a new identity for their “Developers” brand to educate and inspire those who embrace their open-source platforms.

   To welcome the arrival of one of the biggest days in sports, we created “Game Day”, in partnership with Google, to speak directly with football fans around the world about the many helpful features of Google Search.

How does Google and Facebook compete directly? Also, why does working for a creative agency that does occasional work for Google merit disclosure?
Err.. you are aware of Google+ yes?
I feel that's a bit like saying a heavyweight boxer and a lightweight boxer are competitors
So Facebook and Google+ exist in _completely_ different spaces?
