Nelson Schmidt named a “BtoB Magazine” Top Agency

Nelson Schmidt, a full-service marketing communications agency, has been included in BtoB Magazine’s Top Agencies Listfor the fourth consecutive year.

The list, compiled annually by the prestigious business publication, recognizes the top performers in small, mid-sized and large agency categories. The magazine’s editorial staff selects the best agencies based on criteria that include revenue growth, new business wins, innovative work product and expanded service capabilities.

Nelson Schmidt made a strong showing in 2009 despite what BtoB Magazine describes as the “most challenging year in decades” for the ad industry. Nelson Schmidt added six new accounts during the year including agency-of-record relationships with Harley Davidson Motor Co.’s Retail Environment Group, Alliance Laundry Systems and Bostik Inc. The agency also upgraded its service capabilities with the addition of a new account supervisor, creative director and interactive application developer.

“Despite the challenging economy, we remained focused on delivering highly effective creative products and exceptional service to our existing clients,” said Dan Nelson, Jr., president of Nelson Schmidt. “In addition, many major corporations used the difficult environment in 2009 as an opportunity to reevaluate their marketing partners. We put an enormous amount of thought and effort into securing several new important relationships, and won six of the seven pitches we entered, which has positioned us for tremendous growth in 2010 and beyond.”
