LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- USIM, the fast-growing independent media agency, today announced it has been selected as media agency of record for Howard's, Southern California's largest and most trusted independent, employee-owned retailer of appliances, TV's and mattresses. USIM will lead Howard's media efforts, creating a holistic strategy and communications plan to increase foot traffic and sales in the retailer's 12 locations across the region.
The Howard's business will be managed out of USIM's Los Angeles office. "The appliance category is highly competitive – even big-box retailers are struggling to compete. As an independent organization ourselves, USIM is well-matched with Howard's in terms of their goals and our location marketing expertise. With the combined power of our team of retail experts and proprietary location-based tools, we will make every media dollar more strategic and effective at driving foot traffic to Howard's locations," said USIM's President of Digital Media, EVP Communications, Eran Goren.
"We are excited to work with USIM to help us effectively navigate an increasingly complex media landscape and shift in response to our evolving industry," added Grant Hancock, VP of Marketing and Merchandising of Howard's. "We are proud to collaborate with an independent organization like ours to continue our 73-year legacy of delivering the highest level of service to the communities of Southern California."
