In the tradition of Jerry Maguire, the founder of CenterRock Advertising, Steve Jacuzzi, was also inspired to break away from a bigger agency to forge his own path in the advertising world. His intent was to build a company that strived for authenticity and fairness while encouraging a culture of goodwill and community between his employees and his clients. When you truly care about your clients, the efforts become personal and success follows.
The CenterRock philosophy centers on a belief in connecting a brand’s story to their audience with a proven strategy and execution. So grab your goldfish and let’s get to work on something great.
When I founded CenterRock Advertising in 2015, I wanted to establish a dynamic agency that focused on building partnerships and forming long-lasting relationships.
When you find an agency that measures their success by the success of their clients, you have CenterRock Advertising. We form a connection with our clients where we understand your opportunities and hardships, use research and method to determine the optimal solutions for you, and relentlessly strive for your success.
We are motivated and competitive. We keep up with marketing trends. We work hard, and we deliver measurable results.
