Washington D.C., Oct. 19, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FaceTime Strategy announces today its expansion into the Chicago market as it merges with Cantele, Sedivy, and Associates Advertising, Inc. (CSA). The alliance of these two advertising, marketing, and public relations companies brings together significant expertise in the senior, automotive and health care markets as well as franchise retail travel and non profits.
CSA was founded 14 years ago by Chris Cantele and Mike Sedivy. It has built an extensive and loyal national client base. Cantele will serve as Executive Vice President and Mike Sedivy as Senior Account Manager for FaceTime. The move into Chicago completes three of FaceTime's nine United States planned market expansions. Offices located in Washington D.C., Dallas and Chicago are linked via, video, data, and phone interconnect. This allows clients the seamless utilization of the entire FaceTime team, regardless of location.
"CSA'a strong focus on advertising complements FaceTime's interactive, direct response, event, technology enabled marketing and public relations specialties," says FaceTime's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Todd Mason. "Clients of CSA and FaceTime will benefit by the expanding Account Management team and increased depth in each practice area. This merger also expands FaceTime's national and regional on the ground expertise, expands creative, interactive marketing, database management, public relations, social media, and media buying staff that can be leveraged by all of FaceTime's clients."
"We are thrilled to be joining the FaceTime team," said Chris Cantele, FaceTime Strategy's new Executive Vice President. "Building on our expertise and tapping the years of experience that FaceTime brings with them we will be able to offer our current client base a larger array of services and better meet their needs moving forward."
FaceTime Strategy continues to look for expansion opportunities in target markets throughout the country. Bringing existing agencies under the FaceTime umbrella means that all parties involved can offer increased services, faster turn around and national exposure while meeting the challenges of marketing in a modern world. FaceTime Strategy continues to invest in its My Market Master Technology (TM) and developing additional proprietary marketing systems. Those systems enable its clients to strategically target potential customers, maximize the relationship with their current clients and track and optimize every advertising, marketing and public relations dollar invested.
