SYNDICATED AD FEATURES was started in 1962 and incorporated by its original founder and principal, Mr. Eric K. Orne, in 1967. The company evolved from the old-line mat services that sold ad series consisting of cartoon-like drawings and very rudimentary reader columns. It evolved into a very much more sophisticated company, writing for a variety of businesses and professions. Following the FTC ruling in May 1976 allowing professional advertising, SYNDICATED quickly jumped in and began writing for the professions. Today, the agency writes for many categories of physicians and specialists and is nationally renowned for its expertise along those lines. In many instances, SYNDICATED is the only agency in the United States writing for certain professions and has established a unique niche in the field of advertising and marketing.
David G. Margolis, president and principal since 1992, joined the agency in 1971 as a commission salesman. Progressing from a position as district manager, he later became national sales manager, executive vice president, a minority owner, and ultimately purchased the company from Mr. Orne in October 1992.
During that 30-year period, SYNDICATED expanded throughout the United States, and today is represented in 25 different major metropolitan areas by locally based sales representatives. Its management staff has grown with the appointment of Mr. William Blumsack and Mr. Richard Ross as vice presidents of sales. They joined Ms. Ellen Orne, then vice president and general office manager, in preparing the foundation for the company's continued growth.
SYNDICATED expects to continue to prosper and today produces 40 different categories of columns each week.
