Ad agency extends reach to Sarasota

SARASOTA — A West Palm Beach-based advertising and public relations firm, with national clients from railroads to the Ritz-Carlton, has opened an office in Sarasota.

The firm, O'Donnell Agency, has a third office on Madison Avenue in New York City, according to a release. The agency offers advertising, design, public relations and digital media services, the release adds.

O'Donnell Agency Vice President Julie Fanning, a shareholder who has been with the company for 10 years, will run the Sarasota office. The expansion, the company says, was prompted by fast-growing opportunities in the Sarasota/Tampa market.
