Award-winning boutique advertising agency LAUNCH was honored for the second year in a row in Comerica Bank's annual award for fastest growing businesses.
For the second year running, Dallas-area boutique ad agency LAUNCH received honors as one of the fastest growing businesses in influential Collin County. The Comerica Bank Collin 60 Awards recognize the strongest growing companies in Collin County and the surrounding North Texas area. Now in its fifth year, these awards honor those companies that are successfully bringing new products and services to the North Texas market and creating better lives, greater productivity and a more robust economy for the region. Selected from more than 15,000 private companies, LAUNCH joined 59 other businesses as demonstrating the greatest percentage of year-over-year revenue growth. The agency, ranked #42 in 2008, rose to #35 in 2009.
"As a small, independent shop, this has been an exciting year for us, even in the face of a challenging economic environment," said Diane Seimetz, principal of LAUNCH, and co-partners with David Wilgus and Michael Boone. "Our boutique size, high-performance culture, and a single-minded focus on growing our clients' businesses through insight, strategy and an exceptional creative product, are what fuel our own growth."
The agency was started by the partners in 1999 inside Temerlin McClain, now TM Advertising, a long-time advertising powerhouse in the Southwest led by Advertising Hall of Fame recipient, Liener Temerlin. LAUNCH spun off in 2003, and is headquartered in the Plano-Carrollton corridor, a northern suburb of Dallas. Recognized for its award-winning creative work, the agency recently received the American Advertising Federation Best of Show in Print for its work on Smart Center of Dallas for Park Place Dealerships. "After 25 years in this business, we can testify to the power of the big idea, and its unique ability to deliver business results," said Seimetz.
