Account Director – Amazing media agency opportunities – Sydney

The other night I found myself re-watching an episode of Mad Men. It’s easy to get sucked into their fictional stereotype of the ad world. Well dressed, slick haired and quick witted, Don Draper is all old-school allure as he lays the Carousel spiel on Kodak. “It takes us around and around, and back home.

We came, we saw, and it turns out that we believe. A huge thank-you to everyone who attended today’s Manifesto session at Mumbrella360. Around 200 delegates debated and discussed a range of topics and produced the following ‘we believe…’ statements.

They are the start not the end of a journey, and it would be great to continue the debate via comments below and on twitter using the hashtag #manifesto. Comments, ideas, and suggestions for improvements and re-iterations are welcome and required. It’s our manifesto – how we use it is up to us.

BALTIMORE - GKV , a full-service marketing communications firm, announced today that it has been awarded a General Services Administration (GSA) Multiple Award Schedule contract. Federal agencies can now procure integrated marketing services directly from GKV streamlining the typical RFP/RFQ process for federal government agencies.

Being listed on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule positions GKV as a pre-screened and pre-qualified vendor for government agencies in need of creative, innovative marketing solutions including branding, advertising, public relations, outreach, media buying and planning, interactive services and direct marketing, among others. GKV has a strong track record of working with federal and state government agencies in the past.

“This designation will make it easier for GKV to work closely with federal government departments and agencies to further their missions,” said Garry Raim, GKV partner and executive vice president.

Based on GKV’s vast experience in working with state and federal agencies as a prime and sub-contractor, the Baltimore-based Agency has a unique understanding of the needs of government agencies in developing and executing complex and critically important programs that can impact millions of Americans.

“With the GSA listing, it will be easier and more cost-effective for GKV and government agencies to partner to make a big difference in the lives of Americans, just like we have done for other governmental clients in the past,” continued Raim.

GKV becomes the largest Baltimore-based integrated marketing firm listed on the GSA Schedule and is the only agency that is ranked in the top 5 Largest Advertising Agencies List as part of the Baltimore Business Journal’s (BBJ) 2011 Book of Lists. This designation uniquely positions GKV for future work with government agencies.

GKV was awarded a contract under solicitation 7FCB-H2-070541-B Advertising and Integrated Marketing Solutions (AIMS 541). GKV’s GSA contract will be effective until May 31, 2016.
