Integrated Brand Realization Agency Continues Success of 26 Years
With the Addition of Next Generation of Leaders
NOISE, Inc, an integrated brand realization agency with 26 years of success serving clients throughout the United States, today announces the naming of two new partners to the corporation. Joining Chairman & Creative Supervisor John Sprecher and Chief Executive Officer Milissa Sprecher as owners are Tony Seaman, Partner & Creative Director and Daniel Augustine, Partner & Associate Creative Director. The partnership was legally executed on Friday, June 30, 2012.
“I’ve been fortunate to work with many highly talented creative and strategy professionals across the years — Tony and Dan certainly among these,” John Sprecher said. “But beyond their creativity and passion for excellence, what also defines both gentlemen is their honesty, integrity, work ethic, lack of ego (excessive ego, that is!) and openness. Clearly, these are all qualities that I’ve come to admire and appreciate in the five years that Tony has been with NOISE, and three years Dan has worked with us. Their levels of enthusiasm and energy for our company, the business of branding and advertising, and our clients are contagious and will serve NOISE well for many years to come.”
The addition of the partners will benefit both the agency and its clients — most notably allowing Mary Parodo, President & Director of Client Services, to shift some NOISE North (Milwaukee) management and organizational duties to the local partners, while focusing her energies entirely on her many strengths of strategic direction, account management, brand development, attention to quality and ultimately, client success.
]Tony Seaman (left) joined NOISE in 2007 and has served a number of capacities in creative leadership, most recently Vice President & Creative Director. Since joining NOISE, his work has been honored with close to 100 industry awards including multiple “Best of Show” and “Judges Choice” awards. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin with a degree in Art. He is an active member of the Milwaukee advertising community, and also teaches advertising design at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.
