It was August of 1978. A couple of young marketing and advertising creatives decided to quit their jobs and start their own agency. Not to get rich and famous. But to do things their own way in their own laid-back style. Not to get big and complicated. Experience the magic of working directly with the client as a valued member of the team. Imagine the creative freedom without the encumbrances of account executives and without layers upon layers of organization to get in the way of truly great ideas. All of which sounds logical–but is about 180 degrees away from how agencies traditionally work.
Everyone else I have to push forward, except for you...But you guys, I have to reign you in. — Hugh Ervin, CEO, Seis Pros, Inc.
