Good point but both agencies are multi-million billers and very strong with lots of staying power...ya gotta start somewhere...

Intermark just brought in a new Creative Director from a top firm in Orlando. Paid out the nose for him....they are a serious player.

Actually, the guy's a flake. He's a short-timer, if I'm thinking of the same guy. He was the guy shoved through that disastrous Bromberg's campaign. The creatives are about in open revolt over the guy as well. The problem with Intermark, successful as they are, is that it's really a shop with a split personality between car dealership and the regular stuff and the internet.

If I were going to pick a Birmingham shop, I'd choose Lawler Ballard. Probably the most consistently excellent shop in the market.

Yeah, I'm with you there. I earned my degree in English twenty-four years ago, yet I do tons of strategic planning and business consulting for large organizations. I've found that even the typical MBA 2-3 years out of college still can't be trusted with a box of kitchen matches.
