Brogan & Partners continues to add staff in downtown Birmingham

Brogan & Partners is on the move in downtown Birmingham in more ways than one way.

The advertising agency recently moved to a larger office space on the north end of downtown Birmingham near the space for the Birmingham Farmers Market. That provides more room for the company's growing staff. It has hired four people over the last year, including a senior copy writer, senior strategist, technical director and a corporate support team member.

"We have a very solid infrastructure in terms of a team," says Ellyn Davidson, managing partner with Brogan & Partners.

The 28-year-old firm focuses on advertising on the Internet, social media and mobile mediums. It has offices in downtown Birmingham and North Carolina with nearly two thirds of its 36 employees and an intern working in Metro Detroit. The company has enjoyed a good bit of its growth by continuing to work on its new Entrepreneurial Operating System. "It allows us to work much smarter and focus on the business," Davidson says.

Brogan & Partners works on brand engagement and has a knack for marketing toward women. That speciality has continued to blossom in the last year. Davidson expects that trend to continue and to begin hiring again by the first of the year.

"We're always looking for great people," Davidson says.
