Agency donates $5,000 to marketing professionals in need

Vancouver, BC; November 9, 2011 — This year, Wasserman + Partners Advertising has opted to redirect the funds it normally uses to participate in and attend the Lotus Awards, the province’s annual advertising awards show. Rather than paying for entry applications and purchasing tickets, the agency decided to make a direct donation to the National Advertising Benevolent Society (NABS) for $5,000. This will help to supplement the amount that the Lotus Awards contributes to NABS annually.

Bucking the overall trend towards ad agency downsizing, Wasserman + Partners Advertising is announcing a slate of new hires. As the Vancouver-based agency continues to win new clients and renew long term client contracts, it is adding staff to its creative, media, account, and digital teams.

"It's been a year of strong growth for the agency, and as a result I'm pleased to welcome five new team members," says Alvin Wasserman, agency President. "One of the keys to our success is ensuring that we have the right mix of talent and resources to push our clients’ brands forward. The individuals who are joining us bring to the agency an exceptional mix of experience and specialized knowledge."

It’s been a busy time here on the new biz front as the agency brought its very particular way of looking at the world to bear on three important accounts.
