Mobium Selected as one of Top Agencies of the Year by Crain’s B-to-B Magazine for Unprecedented Fourth Year in a Row

2006-04-16

Mobium Creative Group was recognized as one of the top business-to-business agencies by B-to-B Magazine in its 2006 Agency of the Year Listing. This is the fourth year in a row that Mobium has received this honor, making it the only Chicago agency in its size category to be ranked so consistently.

According to B-to-B Magazine, “Mobium Creative Group often gets tagged as a ‘good creative shop’ inside agency circles. Last year the agency won numerous awards, including 13 Business Marketing Association Pro-Comm awards. Managing partners Gordon Hochhalter and Guy Gangi said the great creative comes from strategic behind-the-scenes thinking.”

“It was a good year because a lot of good creative work got sold. I say ‘sold’ as opposed to ‘created’ because it seemed this year clients were more open to that more creative approach,” Gordon Hochhalter, partner, told B-to-B magazine in an interview.

“Clients were also more open to Mobium’s other offerings; the agency recorded a 75% increase in its internal branding business and grew both business consulting and international business by 100%,” according to B-to-B magazine.

“When we started Mobium, we blew up the old operating model and focused the company on integration. We’ve always been totally media agnostic, and our focus will continue to be integration,” Guy Gangi, partner, told B-to-B Magazine.
