July 12, 2010 - PRLog -- The1stMovement (T1M), a full service digital agency with offices in Pasadena, CA and Denver, CO, is a name that is now synonymous with client success in the digital advertising industry.  The company’s total team culture combined with industry recognition, has led to growth in actual staffing size and capability.  A creative and innovative approach to challenges has earned T1M a string of industry awards, accolades and acknowledgements leading to an enviable position in the marketplace.

Under the leadership of Ming Chan, founder and CEO, T1M has rapidly risen to its spot among the top in the advertising agency world.  Earning recognition as one of the “2010 Best Places to Work” by Los Angeles Business Journal, Chan reinforced his “outside the box” image by blazing his own trail in Pasadena, while many agencies aspire to join the norm in West LA.

Emphasizing the importance of a cohesive team, Chan sees his organization as the foundation of the agency’s success and consciously strives to create an environment built to enhance creativity and collaboration.  During a time when firms typically scale back on employee related programs, Chan invests in training and team building by bringing both offices together at least once a year in order to enhance the team spirit and innovative thinking that resonates within the T1M brand.  This year’s T1M Retreat recently took place at Newport Beach’s upscale Balboa Bay Club, an idyllic setting for meetings and team building.

The recognition for outstanding accomplishments in 2010 spans eastward to Colorado, where T1M soared from #24 to #14 in its ranking as “Top Advertising Agency in Denver,” and touts its rank as #22 within Denver’s “Top Minority Owned Businesses” based upon earned revenues by Denver Business Journal.  

In addition, Ann Van Orsdel, T1M’s EVP of Client Services, received a recent nomination for the CSIA Apex Awards 2010 “Technology Entrepreneur of the Year,” confirming the agency’s leadership position within the advanced technology community.  

Ann’s exceptional contributions to the agency and the industry, along with those of her fellow colleagues, have taken The1stMovement to the next level.  An abundance of creative and technological accomplishments have earned T1M a variety of prestigious awards, including the Webby Award, Stevie Awards, ADDY Award, Horizon Interactive Award, Communications Arts Award and many more.

Chan stated, “I could not be more proud of the many honors bestowed upon the T1M organization and our team members by both industry and the local business communities.   This wide-spread recognition for our innovative work lends significant momentum to our plan for continued growth.”  He added, “Praise from peers and high-profile organizations pushes us to strive for higher goals!”
