FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE >> MDB Sprinting Into ‘07 Washington – (Jan. 3, 2007) MDB Communications, which started out 2006 by resigning their largest account, the American Bankers Association, closed out the year with a revenue increase of more than 12 percent over 2005. December marked the busiest new business month the agency has ever seen according to MDB President and CEO Cary Hatch. The agency has celebrated several account wins since September including: American University, the American Podiatric Medical Association’s “Foot Health Awareness Month” campaign, Hunter Douglas, one of DC’s best known corporate caterers and a national account previously held by GSD&M. Additionally the firm is developing a national public service campaign for The Wellness Community, an existing client, and has taken on several new projects for its long-term client the National Geographic Society. In a bold move that even attracted the attention of the editorial staff of The Washington Post, MDB announced in August the hiring of Executive Creative Director Richard Coad, best known for his discovery of “Jared” for Subway. In addition to Coad who was most recently with Publicis Groupe in Chicago, MDB has brought on board a new production director who had previously been with Leo Burnett as well as five additional staff members in account management, accounting and creative. The agency has several additional open positions. “2007 is set to be a banner year for MDB,” said Hatch. New business opportunities are up more than 200 percent since August according to Hatch. In addition to driving new business, Hatch has accepted the role of Chair of the Mid-Atlantic Council for the American Association of Advertising Agencies which covers the District as well as all of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. She’s also been reelected to the Board of Directors of the Greater Washington Board of Trade, this time for a three year term. # # # About MDB Communications, Inc.
