Philly Ad Firm AB&C Shares the “Spoils” of Super Bowl Wager with Boston-Based Small Army in The Philadelphia Inquirer

Page-stopping Philly pride ad featuring an underdog Billy Penn “lovingly made by AB&C and begrudgingly paid for by Small Army.”

PHILADELPHIA, PA (February 9, 2018)—They say, “to the victor go the spoils.” But one Super Bowl bet victor, Philadelphia’s Aloysius Butler & Clark (AB&C), looks forward to sharing those benefits with the entire Delaware Valley community by running a dynamic ad in the February 9 edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer. The ad—which celebrates the Eagles victory and Philly pride—is the outcome of a Super Bowl bet the Philly agency made with the Boston-based agency, Small Army. As the winning Super Bowl city, AB&C earned the right to create the full-page black-and-white ad which is being paid for by Small Army. In the ad, AB&C embraced the Eagle’s ability to silence “non-believers” with what very well may be the first and only depiction of the iconic William Penn statue in full underdog mode.

How to Use Customer Testimonials to Improve Your B2B Marketing

Nobody has to tell you that the B2B sales cycle differs greatly from that of a B2C. For one, a B2B sale typically involves a much larger expense. It’s also a highly vetted decision, and not often an impulsive one. Specifiers, designers, engineers and choosy purchasing agents rarely rush to buy your product or service immediately after seeing an ad, direct mail or email.

The Art of an Adequate Thank-You

The holidays always elicit a flashback to the one thing that wasn’t so “joyous” for me as a kid: the thank-you notes. Many of us had parents who made us write to everyone who gave us presents—and not just during the holidays either. For us kids, it was a chore. In retrospect, I now see that, for our parents, thank-you notes were a way to build stronger relationships.

Today, I get excited about these opportunities to promote our agency. But once upon a time, networking was an uncomfortable experience for me, characterized by nervous glances around the room, a sweaty brow and awkward silences.

Need to Innovate? Diversify.

When to Use New Technologies in Marketing

When it comes to new technology, marketers are often like a newborn playing with a set of keys. It’s new. It’s shiny. And we just need to have it and play with it. But, just because it is new and cool doesn’t mean that it’s the right fit, and often marketers adopt a new technology or platform just so they can scream “first!” with reckless abandon.
