BRUNNER HIGHLIGHTS

Navigating Change with a People-First Culture State of Business at Brunner

Top-line Revenue up 16%

2022 was a strong year for us with top-line revenue up 16% and increased bottom-line performance also YOY. Organic growth was a key contributor to our positive momentum and our sales-pipeline was steady throughout the year, including through Q4, with several opportunities that have resulted in several new client partnerships And 2023 has started off fast with the addition of four new clients in January and several other opportunities pending decisions in Q1

Ten New Client Partners in Four Months

As a leadership group we’re very focused on supporting and retaining our people by maintaining a strong culture as we continue to navigate the “flexible” work model We’ve continued to see positive productivity and collaboration throughout the agency and our people-first benefits have become a cornerstone in our recruitment efforts It seems that these policy changes are here to stay

You may have also read/heard that we had some changes in our partner team to end the year Scott Morgan decided it was time for him to take a step back and focus on other interests He shares some of his final thoughts and memories to close our portion of the newsletter update. He still plans to be with us in Park City to visit with everyone and to show me the ropes

Gaining Efficiencies with AI

While we’re pleased with our growth, (like you) we’re keeping a close eye on the economic environments, the potential threats that may come from a global recession and the constant change of the marketing landscape The use of AI across the organization, as platforms like ChatGPT, Performance Max, and DALL-E 2 present opportunities for innovation and efficiencies across every practice area within the agency, while also attempting to interpret and predict how our business will change and evolve as these platforms become better and even more pervasive in our daily lives

I’m looking forward to meeting everyone inperson and look forward to getting more acquainted with all the great things MAGNET has to offer.
