RSW Assigned Michael Flora Advertising Account

Michigan Ad Agency Signs On with Brand Building, Lead Generation Firm

CINCINNATI, March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Does your advertising agency know the main traits clients seek when hiring an agency? Michigan based advertising agency Michael Flora Associates (MFA) does - and will now act upon that information after forging a strategic marketing partnership with agency branding and lead generation firm Reardon Smith Whittaker (RSW), giving them a clear and distinctive competitive advantage.

According to MFA president Tom Brzezina, his agency is focused on the growth and success of their existing clients, which often times means the branding, promotions and lead generation of the firm itself take a backseat. "Like most other agencies, we are the classic case of the cobbler's children having no shoes. Our focus and our energies remain diligently on our clients, and we are proud of our work and our organic growth. But, it's time to look at our future growth from a fresh perspective. Through RSW, we can do that without sacrificing a moment of focus on the core objectives of our own clientele."

RSW's managing director Mark Sneider lauded Brzezina for his forward thinking decision to focus on the core competencies of the agency, while enabling RSW to assist in driving not only more leads, but the right leads. "All clients aren't right for all agencies," Sneider says. "When you look at the RSW 2009 Client's Perspective Report, it is filled with information on specifically what clients are looking for from their agencies and we look forward to bringing that expertise, focus and firepower to bear for the competitive edge of our clients, including MFA.

"So often, I see agencies with no differentiating quality between themselves and other groups because their focus is solely on their clients - which is good, but an agency must be in business to do business," Sneider added. His agency represents dozens of creative and advertising firms across the United States and Canada.
