Targetbase Continues Expansion with Opening of San Francisco Office

DALLAS, February 24, 2009 — Targetbase, a leading U.S.-based direct marketing agency known for its expertise in combining data and analytics with spectacular creative, is continuing its global expansion with the opening of a San Francisco office.

Following closely on the U.K. office opening last year, the San Francisco office opened February 17, and is Targetbase's third U.S. location, along with the company's corporate headquarters in Dallas and an office in Greensboro, N.C. The new office is located in the South Beach section of downtown San Francisco, at 550 Third Street.

Mark Wright, President of Targetbase, said, "This addition is needed to meet our growing client demands. It will allow us to better serve current clients such as Clorox, as well as better position us to expand our business in the West. The San Francisco office will offer comprehensive direct, digital and database services, effectively replicating the unique, integrated service offering of our other U.S. locations."

Chris Sealy, Senior Vice President of Client Services for the San Francisco office and a 15-year veteran in the industry, said, "I know I speak for everyone in the office when I say how excited we are to be a part of this expansion. We have combined some of the best talent from California with proven resources from our corporate headquarters to allow us to hit the ground running. We look forward to providing the same results-driven marketing solutions and industry-recognized client services that have made Targetbase successful for the past 40 years."
