AB&C president and CEO John Hawkins cited the agency’s growth as the major factor in the decision to expand. “When the agency purchased and renovated the building in 1999 we were thrilled with the more than 16,000 square feet of office space. Happily over the past six years our business and staff have grown, and we’re in need of more space.”

The third-floor renovation will provide the agency with more than 5,500 additional square feet to house offices, conference rooms and an exercise center. The agency currently employs 45 full-time account executives and managers, art directors, copywriters, media planners and buyers, public relations specialists, and marketing strategists.
