Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) April 10, 2013

Baltimore advertising agency Carton Donofrio Partners announced winning Zips Dry Cleaners and New Mountain Learning as new clients. Perhaps a sign of great things to come in this turning economic climate, Ellen Moore, CEO of Carton Donofrio Partners had this to say about the new client growth, “Today’s marketers have the challenge of selling to consumers who are more savvy and informed about spending choices than ever before. We at Carton Donofrio Partners are thrilled to see that our philosophy of simplifying the complex, by finding streamlined solutions to complex marketing challenges, is resonating so well within the marketing community. We look forward to continued growth and the opportunity to bring simplified, consumer based, solutions to even more organizations”.

ZIPS Dry Cleaners, officially ZIPS Franchising LLC, hired Carton Donofrio Partners as its agency of record to shoulder brand and marketing strategy, online and offline advertising, media consulting, planning and buying, and creative development responsibilities. According to Andy Cucchiara, ZIPS’ Vice President of Franchise Operations, vetting and selecting the right marketing firm was critical to the company’s continued success and projected plan to grow the chain into a national franchise. “CDP demonstrated a true understanding of our challenges, opportunities, and our people. And when you couple that with its creative approach, its experience in growing franchise businesses, and most importantly, its plan for helping grow the ZIPS franchise, the decision to partner with CDP was actually quite simple,” said Cucchiara.

Carton Donofrio Partners has a wealth of experience in franchise marketing and has worked with successful brands such as the well-known Sylvan Learning Centers, who Carton Donofrio Partners help to establish as a leading education franchise.

New Mountain Learning, an education publisher that produces blended learning instructional materials and learning tools, brought Carton Donofrio Partners on to develop the brand positioning, name and message pillars for its new brand. Eric Cantor, Chairman & CEO of New Mountain Learning made this comment about the partnership with Carton Donofrio Partners, “Carton Donofrio Partners brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the area of brand development. Their work has allowed New Mountain Learning to emerge with a set of clearly defined differentiators that will resonate with our client base and better position our offerings for potential adoption.”
