Launchpad Advertising Breaks the Agency Mold & Places in the 2012 Inc. 500 List of Fastest Growing Companies in the U.S.


New York, NY., Aug. 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Launchpad Advertising is proud to announce that it has been selected as one of Inc. 500's fastest growing private companies of 2012.  It is quite an honor to make the list of one of the most comprehensive and prestigious reviews of America's independent entrepreneurs, and it establishes Launchpad as one of the fastest growing advertising agencies in the nation.

"For us, making the Inc. 500 list is a huge accomplishment that really validates the unique approach we've taken and the value we deliver to our clients," said Scott Elser, Partner at Launchpad.

The agency's vision, driven by partners Scott Elser, David Low and Noah Ross, is to help clients solve their most challenging problems with true strategic and creative leadership.  Prior to establishing Launchpad, Elser and Low led some of the largest integrated client relationships at New York's agencies Grey and McCann-Erickson. They leveraged those experiences to build a new agency approach that better aligns with how clients themselves look to drive their business performance.

"Big agencies often struggle to integrate across disciplines because their internal silos get in the way of doing what's best for the client.  Niche agencies on the other hand are more discipline focused and therefore are very tactical.  " We found there was a need for a new type of agency who could really partner with brands to elevate client/agency relationship.  We aimed to deliver impactful solutions across the all the relevant levers that drive the interaction between brands and their target consumers, and we've proven that this new model works," said Low.

"Our consistent success in the face of a really tough economy has been driven by staying true to who we are and the vision of the agency" said Noah, Launchpad's Executive Creative Director.  "We dive deep into our client's business and deliver purpose-driven solutions.  We also work to create an agency culture of collaboration based on a core belief that work should be a place you look forward to coming to every day."

With a staff of 35 that continues to grow, Launchpad works with clients ranging from Fortune 200 companies to startups alike across every facet of communications from digital to traditional to local grassroots tactics.
