Advertising and communication company AdVantage Ltd. is celebrating its 15th year. To mark the milestone, AdVantage Ltd. has launched a new website at www.advantage.bm and is holding a 15th anniversary party to thank loyal clients for all their support over the years. "Many of our clients have been with us since the company opened," said Sheila Semos, who along Susan Tang-Petersen, owns the company. "It is a real honour to consider so many long-term clients a part of the AdVantage family."

The company has eight full-time employees who specialise in advertising, flash animation, branding, copywriting, corporate communications, graphic design, marketing, print production, public relations and website design.

"What sets us apart from the competition is our team of truly dedicated staff," said Ms Semos, president and creative director. "We have a very collaborative work environment that encourages creative thinking and the open exchange of ideas. Everyone contributes, and this benefits our clients who like the fact that we aren't afraid to think outside the box and take risks. In the competitive advertising business, delivering excellent service and an exceptional final product is the key to continued success."

Ms Tang-Petersen, senior vice-president and art director, agreed. "We try and stand out from the crowd by presenting a product that is different from our competitors, and by continuing to be a full service agency as times change and new forms of media are introduced. Both Sheila and I have many years of experience in advertising, and really love what we do. By combining our own personal passion for this line of work with a team of skilled advertising executives, graphic designers and communications specialists who also enjoy what they do, we've created a service-focused agency that is really special."

One client that has been with AdVantage for the last 15 years is the Bermuda Festival of the Performing Arts.
