Hasta La Creative!

Thank heavens! Some good news is coming out of an ad agency. Seattle based shop, Hadley Green Creates, has received accolades for increasing their business by 25%.

The agency added John Rubino as managing director in 2007 and attribute much of their new business to his leadership. Rubino came from NBBJ and before that, Landor Associates.

Hadley Green Creates is a ad/marketing firm led by Cameron Green, Dick Hadley, as well as Rubino. Launched in 1977, (when it was called Kobasic Hadley & Co.) the agency has a client roster including Columbia Bank, Microsoft, Seattle Chocolates and Intel. Bully to Hadley Green.

Now the rest of us? Citi Investment Research noted today that the ad spend from the top 100 global advertisers will be essentially flat, at .03 percent in 2009. Sigh. Big. Sigh.
