Bay Area’s MCAads.com Expands Its Media Platform with the Acquisition of Russell Johns
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) April 09, 2014 -- MCAads.com, LLC, (http://www.mcaads.com), an award-winning, full-service advertising agency, has acquired Russell Johns Associates, a nationally known publishing rep firm. Both are based in the Bay area.
Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed. The sale was effective as of March 6.
MCAads.com, LLC—part of a decades-old media group made up of My Classified Ads, Print & Radio, Media Mix Power and Blaire.co—was co-founded by Blaire Fanning, who has built a reputation as a savvy media professional who gets results; now she’s expanded her firm’s reach even further by the acquisition of RJA—with Russell Johns now a DBA of MCAads.com.
“MCA Ads has always believed in the value of print advertising, and we are immensely excited about the acquisition of Russell Johns Associates,” Fanning said. “We feel that it is the perfect fit for our growing business model.”
A 1982 graduate of Rockford College, IL, Fanning has earned top awards for advertising marketing programs in sales and media development.
“We have diverse media marketing experience and understand how to reach specific professional niches and industries,” Fanning said. “Our comprehensive approach allows clients direct access to the top-performing marketing venues at the lowest cost,” adding that she expects MCA’s reputation for customer service and its expertise in digital and print will click with RJA’s publishing clients.
The newly acquired Russell Johns Associates has been around since 1968. Among its clients are USA Today, American Family Physician and the National Enquirer.
Other RJA-related brands have included ADA CareerCenter, ADA Marketplace, ADA News, AFP/FPM CareerCenter, America’s Civil War, American History, Annals of Family Medicine, Armchair General, Aviation History, British Heritage, Civil War Times, Family Medicine Careers, Family Practice Management, Globe Group, JADA, Journal of Urgent Care Medicine, JUCM CareerCenter, Military History, Military History Quarterly, Sheela Wood, Sports Weekly, STFM Positions & Opportunities Book, Vietnam, Wild West and World War II.
The blending of MCAads.com and RJA represents an “expansion of resources and capabilities,” said Fanning, adding that, “The resulting combination creates opportunities and efficiencies for both companies.”
