The SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE had a special section in April of 1976 titled A Salute to Advertising. In it, nine area advertising agencies were touted. Of those nine we are the only one remaining.
In fairness, one other company is still operating but moved years ago to Chicago.
While it is a little sad to be reminded of competitors that didn’t last, it does give us pride to be the “last man standing”. We just celebrated our 63rd birthday, so we have outlasted many a competitor over the years.
We attribute our longevity to our good clients, our good people and our good suppliers. In fact, over 40% of our clients have been with us for more than 10 years, which is very unusual in our business.
From the nine there is one. And we don’t plan on going anywhere else any time soon.
Clay Kreicker, President
