LAVIDGE Rank Holds Steady YoY Among Largest Phoenix-Area Ad Agencies

Phoenix Business Journal ranks LAVIDGE 5^th among its peers

PHOENIX - (August 16, 2024) – LAVIDGE is proud to be among the largest Phoenix-area advertising agencies named in the Phoenix Business Journal’s (PBJ) 2024 Book of Lists.

This year, LAVIDGE placed 5^th in the rank—which is an increase from placing 7^th in past lists—holding steady year over year. The agency has ranked consistently for both staffing and billing.

This annual ranking is based on self-reported staffing among 34 Phoenix-area advertising and marketing firms.

LAVIDGE reported 64 full-time, local employees which is an increase of two employees since 2022. LAVIDGE also reported $109.4 million in capitalized billings in 2023, up from $82.06 million in capitalized billings reported in 2022.

Notably, this year’s billings are on par with the agency ranked second on the list but did so with 22 fewer employees.

Bill Lavidge joined the agency a year after its founding in 1982; eventually taking over full ownership and renaming the firm.

Today, LAVIDGE is 100% owned by its Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust. Lavidge maintains his leadership role as Chairman of the Board and Chief Operating Officer. In addition to Lavidge, Sandra Torre, CFO, and Bob Case, CCO, were both named as co-presidents in the past year.

With strong leadership and a dedicated team of employees, LAVIDGE looks forward to placing in the Book of Lists for many more years to come.
