It's official. I've seen the business cards. The Little Agency That Roars! is now roaring on the left coast. Headed by Anthony Fasone, our California office opened on December 1st and has had us running good-crazy for a month now.
Long time client partners and friends might remember Anthony from his producing days at the agency in the late 80's and early 90's. After spending 12+ years at an automotive/after-market agency in Sacramento, Anthony officially has become a Fasone partner once again.
Joining Anthony at Fasone WEST are a group of blue chip accounts:
• BMW of San Francisco - just named the #1 BMW dealership in northern California.
• MINI of San Francisco - the #1 MINI center in northern California for the last five years.
• Walnut Creek Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge - soon to be the #1 Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealership.
• Quality Tune Up - 20+ shops in the Central Valley and South Bay areas.
Fasone WEST is offering clients a full-service advertising/marketing/online/pr resources at Kansas City prices. Considering the media rates we're seeing out of San Francisco, that's one roaring good deal.
So, if you're looking to get out of the cold, you're always welcome in sunny California.

You're going to like Brandi. Our new art director is a problem solver. You're going to like her style. Her approach. Her thinking. But most of all you're going to love her enthusiasm and spunk.
We're lucky to have her.
Brandi is a graduate of Southwest Missouri State University, where she received a Bachelor of Science in Design Marketing. Before joining us, Brandi worked in advertising and sales at Dynamics Gymnastics in Springfield, MO. She's a St. Joe girl, an artist, gym rat, coach, and marathon runner. Brandi learned to surf in Cosa Rica and is now hanging ten with us.
Next time you're around, stop by creative and shout a holler out to Brandi.
Remember the old billboard adage, "Advertising doesn't cost, it pays?" Here's proof positive. LBA just landed a new commercial account as a direct result of their outdoor campaign. Seems LBA got the call because the customer saw their billboards and thought, "there's a professional company, I'll give them a ring." Amazing what can happen when you combine the right medium with the right message and present it in an attention grabbing way. 
Advertising tends to be a nomad's existence. Hopping from job to job seems to come with the job. Agencies hire. Agencies fire. Ad people skip for better pay, a better title or even for a better office.
Although you couldn't tell it from looking around here year after year -- Janette Boehm just celebrated her 24th and Toni Kerr her 22nd year with the agency. Pretty cool even for an agency like Fasone & Partners where our 21 above average partners have been with us for an average of 12 years.
In an industry where your most tenured employees can count their years with your company on one hand, we must be doing things seriously differently here.
Just ask Janette and Toni.
