Susan OwenCEO

Having owned my own ad agency for 20 years and being acquired by a large public firm, I was 99.9% sure my next role would be in one of the larger consulting firms. I was surprised and inspired to find the same proactive consulting opportunities at Point. I’m excited about our future and how we will help solve for our clients’ challenges now and beyond.

J FREDERICKVP, Executive Creative Director

When I was considering returning to the agency side, I searched for a team that is more cerebral in their approach and more integrated in their execution. I discovered the winning combination at Point. We are a hybrid mix of client, agency, PR and media pros, so we know how marketing fits into the big picture and how it all works together to meet your business objectives.
