Island Breezes to 3

Island ECN, an electronic stock-trading network, is looking for a midsize agency to increase its consumer profile.
“We don’t want to be the [agency’s] biggest account, but we certainly would want to be in the top five,” said Ellen Saikia, the client’s director of marketing.
In fact, Island is close to naming three finalists for its $6-10 million account, sources said.
Last week, executives from the client saw the New York shops Angotti, Thomas, Hedge;
Citigate Albert Frank; Doremus; Emmerling Post and Grace & Rothschild, who offered case histories and business insights.
Final presentations are in two weeks, Saikia said.
