MMI Agency is a Houston based advertising, branding and communications agency that has been providing proven results to their clients for years. The company is often seen as a leader in marketing in general, and especially digital marketing for their customers. The company has just announced that they have appointed Benjamin Spiegel as their new CEO. This is a significant asset to the company as Spiegel brings with him years of important experience in this field.
Spiegel comes to MMI from Catalyst/GroupM where he was the US leader for search practice. In this role he managed major accounts for companies like Proctor & Gamble (as well as their more than 75 brands).
Cindy Marion, who is the company owner and president, commented on the appointment saying, “We want to bring the very best skills to our clients, the very best opportunities to our employees, and the very best performance – in a marketing and advertising agency – to the city of Houston. So, we are always on the lookout for talent that helps our team to be even better. Benjamin is known for the highest level in strategic thinking and digital transformation, and his addition to our leadership team reflects the digital trajectory that the industry is on. He will help MMI Agency to continue innovating and leading in this area.”
The most recent numbers concerning MMI are already quite impressive. They have more than 80 employees and produced $20.5 million in revenue in 2014, which was a 21% increase year over year. They also serve multi-national companies such as Allstate, AIG, MD Anderson Cancer Center and Shell, to name a few of their most well known clients.
Regarding his new role, Spiegel said, “MMI Agency is a special kind of mid-sized agency with the ability to be agile and nimble in a marketplace that is changing quickly, where consumer behavior is constantly evolving and new technologies are emerging. We believe there is a huge national opportunity for MMI Agency to create and activate innovative, integrated campaigns that deliver high-impact results more efficiently than larger, less flexible agencies can produce.”
