QBIZ has news, I'm in this one at $2 from the other day. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2000-- SmithAgency.com today announced that the shop has signed Coral Springs, Fla.-based ValueLink, as its newest client. The full service shop will handle creative, media, and public relations for ValueLink. The agency won the account without review, based on prior project work performed by its Pix'L Creative division. Pix'L created print ads and collateral for the stored value card company. ''We've been extremely happy with the agency's creative on a project-by-project basis,'' said Jerry DeWitt, ValueLink's director of corporate card solutions. ''In seeking a full service agency, our practical needs were twofold; we wanted a single agency with full media and creative capabilities that was local to our South Florida division, but which could increase productivity through simultaneous communication with any of our offices. SmithAgency.com's use of the Internet to accomplish that goal helped,'' he concluded. ''This win is another demonstration of the benefits in our model of unbundling agency services,'' said Jim Lobel, SmithAgency.com's president and CEO. ''We established a relationship by doing project work, and when the time came for the client to step-up to a full service relationship, we were ready, willing, able, and - most significantly - proven,'' he concluded.
