There are so many exciting things happening for AgencySparks! I will not bore you with all of the details, but here is a quick list:
1. Several of our agencies have closed deals from the introductions we made to potential clients. This is the most important of any of the points on this list.
2. We got a new logo/brand and are working on a new website and marketing materials:
3. AgencySparks was mentioned in the Atlanta Business Chronicle along with a quote from me:
4. Our fourth employee joined. Please welcome
Anastasia Kusmartseva. Her name is a mouthful, but she is smart and talented and a nice addition to our amazing
team.

5. We signed our seventh agency, a fantastic PR and events firm called Creaxion.
6. We fired an agency partner. This does not sound like a great thing, but it is significant, as we know we can sustain the business even if a relationship does not work out.
7. I was honored to be asked to present the First Lifetime Achievement Award at the AIMA Awards to our agency partner and my friend, Simms Jenkins (CEO of BrightWave):
8. We hosted our first AgencySparks' Marketers Networking Lunch, and it was a stunning success. Marketers and agencies were able to mingle and connect in a relaxed environment.
9. We conducted our first AgencySparks MarketerInsights interview with Jessica Stafford of Cox Automotive. During the fun and informative we discussed the agency selection process and building strong agency/client relationships.
10. Two of our agency partners worked together to win business from a client.
Starting and growing AgencySparks has been the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience of my life. My team and I are so appreciative of all of the support we have gotten along the way!
Best,
Joe
