Our Story

In the summer of 1988, having recently graduated from college, a dream became a reality when we founded the agency with the few dollars that we managed to save while working our way through college – $500 each to be exact! The partnership has lasted nearly 30 years between the marketing guy and the creative guy. Along the way, many companies have entrusted their advertising to us – giving us opportunities to help sell their brands and services with our approach. We thank them for having launched and supported us from day one. Without them, we wouldn’t have gained the valuable, hands-on experience and strategic process that we offer our clients today. We’ve had some amazing talent pass through our doors over the years, yet we feel that our staff today has never been more creatively talented, knowledgeable and fun. And we can’t wait for you to meet them.

Thom & Tony

Leadership

Thom Misbrener

Founding Partner

An entrepreneurial spirit is what drives Thom to continually lead the agency to new heights. Starting the agency a month out of college in 1988 provided a unique challenge and has given him a perspective to take on every client marketing opportunity as a personal challenge. He has been the lead in business development and account management over the years and has experience in managing the growth of a variety of B2C and B2B accounts on the agency client roster. A graduate of the University of Akron with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Marketing, Thom and his wife Carrie are proud parents of 22-year old twins Andrew & Alaina — both graduates of The Ohio State University (Go BUCKS!) and both currently attending medical school at Ohio University.

Tony Gioglio

Founding Partner

In 1987, while attending the University of Akron, Anthony’s creative talents were recognized by the largest agency in the area where he worked as an Art Director. By the time of his graduation in 1988, he had already made a name for himself in the advertising community and amassed a growing client roster, which led him to join forces with Thom. With an eye to the future of advertising design, and the ever-changing media employed to gain consumer attention, Tony has spent the last 31 years assembling multi-disciplined creative talent to develop and execute fully integrated national campaigns. Tony’s philosophy on the art of visual communication is carried out by ATA’s Art Directors, and his influence colors all the materials that come from the agency. A graduate of the University of Akron, Tony is a proud dad to Lauren (DePaul University Class of 2019) and Roman (The Ohio State University Class of 2020).
