Edgar Snyder & Associates is one of the most well-known brands in the Pittsburgh region. With approximately 40 years of experience as a leading personal injury law firm, the company sought a new agency partner to help continue the evolution of its brand and marketing strategy. Effective immediately, Brunner has been selected as agency of record, responsible for overall media planning and creative strategy, including traditional media buying as well as paid social, digital display, and digital video.

“We wanted an agency that would help usher in a new era for the ESA brand and would bring the right combination of creativity and strategic thinking,” said Michael Rosenzweig, the firm's managing partner.

ESA wants to help people understand how to best protect their rights through an often-convoluted legal process, by identifying an advocate to help them navigate difficult and confusing circumstances often associated with experiencing an injury. ESA’s care for clients and the local community played a role in the agency selection process with Brunner.

ESA and Brunner have a shared local history, founded around the same time and with a similar passion for local organizations and causes that make the region stronger. These commonalities were important factors when selecting a new agency partner.

“We are proud of our Pittsburgh heritage,” Rosenzweig continued. “It’s an honor to serve the entire western and central Pennsylvania community. Partnering with someone who values our neighbors and our region in the same way we do was a natural fit.”

“We are thrilled to work with such an iconic Pittsburgh-based brand and look forward to using our local market knowledge and our strategic and creative expertise to help ESA achieve their goals,” said Brad Cook, Brunner group account director.
