Fifty-three years old ... and young again.

>> Walter Ohlmann, President

How times have changed. The world has changed. Our language has changed. When the agency was founded in '49, Coke was a drink, grass was mowed and pot was something you cooked in or sat on. In those days, bunnies were small rabbits, and Rabbits were not Volkswagens. Back then, time-sharing meant togetherness, a chip meant a piece of wood, hardware was hardware and software wasn't a word. Pizza, frozen orange juice, instant coffee, artificial sweeteners and McDonald's were also unheard of.

And of course our world – the world of marketing, advertising and PR – has changed as well. Perhaps the greatest change occurred in art and media – as both donned a mantle of electronic sophistication that would have been beyond belief in 1949. The computer also spawned a new form of communication – the Internet. Whether used for advertising, PR or just in lieu of snail mail, the potential of this tool remains limited only by our imagination.
