Creative firm Agency 720 expands across U.S., adds staff in downtown Detroit
For a creative agency, it’s good to work with a major automaker’s brand. It’s even better when you’re the recommended tier 2 marketing agency for Chevrolet.
That’s the case with Agency 720, which has been growing its presence across North America steadily over the last year. It is now in 141 markets across the continent, mainly handling advertising work for Chevy dealerships across the U.S.
“They are a fabulous partner,” says Harold Kobakof, president & CEO of Agency 720.
The downtown Detroit-based firm’s has added seven markets over the last year. It has also added work outside of the automotive industry, handling work with Pulte Homes. Most of Agency 720’s work, however, comes from Chevrolet dealerships.
“We’re looking to expand into seven more markets this year,” Kobakof says.
That expansion has allowed the four-year-old firm to expand its staff to 110 people after hiring 10 over the last year. Those new jobs include account managers and directors. Agency 720 is also in the process of hiring a graphic designer.
