Best Advertising Agency: MAGNER SANBORN
Dennis Magner, president, and Jeff Sanborn, VP/creative director, scored a terrific opportunity for their full-service ad agency when their 25-person team created spots for national client FLO TV that aired during this year’s Super Bowl. Regional clients such as Providence Health Care, Yoke’s Fresh Markets and Gonzaga University also benefit from their clean, appealing style. “If the Magner Sanborn brand were a person,” said Dennis, “we’d be like SFC William James in ‘The Hurt Locker’ – hyper-aware, sharp, passionate and precise; but slightly insane. And with tattoos.”  (RF)
