On April 1, the 14-person company moved from its prior location of 9 years to new, larger space in downtown Redwood City. In addition, the agency says it is planning new hires in creative, administrative, and account management roles as it grows rapidly to better manage the escalation in new business. In January, the firm welcomed Christine Antoun as its new client services director. "We're slowly seeing signs of a turnaround in Silicon Valley," says Howard J. Sewell, Connect Direct's president. "Companies are realizing they can't stay on the sidelines indefinitely, but also don't want to invest their marketing dollars indiscriminately. For now, people are being very cautious and focusing primarily on measurable, results-oriented programs, which is why we think our activity level is way up."
