National Harbor, MD, Feb. 23, 2010 – Global Advertising 1st (GA1), an award winning marketing solutions firm, has been accepted as a member of the prestigious American Association of Advertising Agencies.
GA1 has been providing account service through media planning, public relations, creative development, event management, and public awareness services for over 10 years. The minority-owned firm works with several government, corporate, and nonprofit clients including the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Department of State, Johnson Products, U.S. Housing and Urban Development and Cashwell Financial.
“My team and I have worked extremely hard to establish prominence on the ever-competitive advertising and marketing landscape. We have been successful in doing so and our membership with the 4A’s is proof of our accomplishments.” says Derrick Hollie, GA1’s President and CEO.
Joining the 4As is yet another level of success for GA1, whose growth has gained much attention in an ailing economy when most small businesses are closing their doors. In the fall, the ten year old agency moved into new offices at the National Harbor in MD, to accommodate its growing staff.
The American Association of Advertising Agencies is a national trade association that has been representing the US advertising business since 1917. While the association’s members include almost all of the nation’s largest advertising corporations, over 60% of its members are small businesses, like GA1. Membership is granted after extensive company reviews including an agency’s accounts, financial history and finally board approval.
