Follow General Manager Carl Watney is staying and the agency will keep its name and identity, with the additional title of "a Smith Brothers Media company".
“We’re excited about the future for Follow as part of the SBM family,” saysl Watney. “This opens up so many more opportunities for our clients, now that we can offer them fully integrated digital marketing services.”
