Advent Creative in Top 25 Advertising Agencies in Utah
Advent Creative named one of the Top 25 Advertising Agencies in Utah
LOGAN, Utah — Utah Business Magazine released its list of the top 25 advertising agencies in Utah on Monday and Advent Creative, a local firm, earned a spot with over $4.8 million in capitalized billings in 2008.
Advent Creative beat out several Salt Lake City firms to take the number 20 spot. The only other top agencies that weren’t from the Salt Lake metropolitan area were two firms from Park City and St. George, numbers 24 and 25 respectively. The honor reinforces Advent Creative’s goal to provide world-class design, web, video and branding work from Cache Valley.
Wade Olsen, Advent Creative CEO, said he’s excited about making the list and feels that it reflects well on Logan as a whole.
“We feel like this is representative of the kind of positive economic growth we’re seeing in the valley. We’re at the point now that businesses in Cache Valley can get world-class design and advertising expertise without having to go to Salt Lake,” Olsen said. “We’re very proud to be a part of that.”
Advent Creative recently merged with Digital Slant to be the leading brand communications firm in the Logan area. It’s made up of four departments: Advent Web, Advent Video, Advent Design, and Advent Branding. This unique structure has helped Advent Creative adapt and excel during challenging economic times.
