Zimmerman Wastes No Time With Fast Win

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Within 30 days of breaking ties with Logan's Roadhouse and starting the New Year at an even faster rate than last year's record pace, Zimmerman Advertising has announced its partnership with Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill, serving as the Florida-based chain's new Agency of Record.

Zimmerman won 12 accounts in 2015, making it one of the most successful years in the agency's history. The agency says a clear focus on sharpening talent, enhancing culture and doubling down on retail data strategy was a major factor in the renaissance the agency is enjoying. Smokey Bones puts Zimmerman back in the casual dining sector.

"We were looking for an agency that had a fantastic reputation for execution and not afraid to push the envelope. They will be a great partner to our team and our objectives," says Ryan Esko, CEO of Smokey Bones. 

Smokey Bones is one of the leading restaurants known for its slow-smoked and fire-grilled dishes, operating 67 locations in 16 states and employs nearly 3,800 people. Smokey Bones recently opened three new locations and has plans to open a number of restaurants in the next couple of years.

"We want to work for brands that are aggressively led by executives that are driven to find the true business potential and see growth as an essential goal. Ryan Esko exemplifies that," says Zimmerman Advertising CEO, Michael Goldberg.

Zimmerman will be leading the ambitious dining chain's creative services, strategy, media planning & buying (traditional and digital), social media activation and production.

"Smokey Bones is a brand that demands guts, grit and growth. We love that. In fact, that's the only way we work," says Jordan Zimmerman, Founder and Chairman of Zimmerman.
