“To be recognized by such reputable community and industry influencers is testament to the depth of expertise and experience that exists at Off Madison Ave.”
PHOENIX (September 14, 2009) – Off Madison Ave, a Tempe, Ariz.-based communications agency specializing in digitally driven marketing, continues to seek community and industry leadership opportunities at a time when many peers are forced to focus solely on their organization’s survival. Conversely, the agency welcomes the chance to serve the community or collaborate with peers for the support and growth of like-minded business and non-profit organizations. While personally enriching, recent appointments to non-profit boards, speaking engagement invitations and recognition from prominent industry groups also validates Off Madison Ave’s local and national leadership efforts.
“To be recognized by such reputable community and industry influencers is testament to the depth of expertise and experience that exists at Off Madison Ave,” said David Anderson, co-founder and president of Off Madison Ave. “We continue to encourage team members to extend their service and knowledge beyond the walls of the agency – and are proud to see the company being represented so positively while solidifying a reputation of collaboration and results.”
