Quintet Joins Trumpet's Playlist

The fledgling Trumpet Advertising here, established by the displaced principals of bankrupt Bauerlein Advertising of New Orleans, has added five new accounts that total approximately $2 million in annual billings.
“In each case, the clients had seen our work and were attracted to us because of it,” said Jim Gradl, co-founder of the 11-month-old shop.
The account acquisitions bring billings at the 12-person agency to $5 million.
New to the shop’s client roster are Lee Michaels Jewelers, a chain of seven stores spread over three states; regional project work for the American Cancer Society; children’s retailer Pippin Lane; the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra; and Laboratory Specialist Inc.
