Seiter & Miller Advertising was founded and is populated by former big agency types—refugees, you could say—who felt we could do more for clients if we weren't saddled with all that big agency baggage. Nearly 20 years later and still independent, we are among the few firms whose creative, account, and media departments all press the same elevator button.

Digital? Traditional?
We don't think you should have to choose. Nor do we think there's a great divide between the two. Ideas drive business, and today ideas are executed in more ways and across more media than ever before. As the digital world has grown, we have invested in the talent and developed the skills to become expert in that domain. But we remain agnostic as to what mix would best build your brand.

If you'd like to know more about the work we do and the kind of companies we do it for, just ask Phil.

If you've watched TV, or listened to the radio, or read a newspaper, or seen a billboard sometime in the last 40 years, you already know his work. Livy created advertising for some of America's biggest brands at some of the world's largest agencies before founding Seiter & Miller nearly—gasp!—20 years ago. He's a Yalie who got one thesis away from his MBA from NYU in International Economics then decided 30 seconds spots were a lot more fun than spreadsheets.
 
 
 
Bob hasn't just done it all, he's planned it all. Bought it all, too—and for less than the client was expecting. By the end of the last millennium, Bob had risen to Head of Planning and Director of Account Services at Initiative Media, where he led efforts for a Who's Who of companies in a What's What of categories. Then he gave it all up for a chance to really make a difference here. Today Bob runs Strategy, Media and Account Services at SMA, and is desperately searching for a way to attend fewer meetings.
 
 
 
If it was created by Seiter & Miller, it was created by Stefan. Our longest tenured Creative (by far), he has given his blood, sweat, tears, days, nights, and weekends to SMA clients large and small since the internet was just a twinkle in Al Gore's eye. No longer just a yokel from Vermont, Stefan is equally at home in the Alps of Austria and back alleys of Brooklyn, able to design fluently in both English und Deutsch.
 
 
 
Armed with a love of language and wealth of useless information, Martin has developed breakthrough advertising across a wide range of categories, including a 5-year stint selling drugs... er, pharmaceutical products. Somehow he's still found time to construct a dozen crossword puzzles for The New York Times as well as brain teasers for NPR. A graduate of Princeton, Martin is perhaps the only Creative with an MBA from Columbia.
 
 
 
Remember when it was called the information superhighway? Having been an active force in the interactive space since 1993, there is almost nothing that Adam has not designed, developed, or digitally done. As a founding member of Ogilvy & Mather Interactive, and a creative leader at Y&R and Digitas, he created online campaigns for some of America's best known brands, including American Express, Citibank, Coppertone, and Dr. Scholls—not bad for a Cornell Quantum Physics major.
 
 
 
A product of Brussels, Beirut, and Jersey; a veteran of Lowe, FCB, and Riney. Ellen has executed big-stakes media campaigns in both the credit card battles and the telecom wars, responsible for Bell/NYNEX/Verizon's hugely successful "Wild Things" display at Grand Central. On weekends, Ellen is an accomplished (published in The New York Times) photographer.
 
 
 
Tom's been at the biggest agencies. He's handled the biggest clients. Account Management credentials don't get any more impressive than GE, Pfizer, and the U.S. Government. (Maybe Wharton does know a thing or two about business.) Arguably our hardest worker, certainly our earliest riser, Tom is an unmatched source of information on the consumer electronics industry, and our leader for all things Kyocera.
 
 
 


Coming soon.



 
 
 
As a client, he was agency-focused. At agencies, client-focused. Over the years, Phil has lived the advertising and marketing businesses from all perspectives, responsible for several careers-worth of brand-building impact. He's run general advertising at Doremus, financial services at Merkley, and new business for Masius. Phil has been sniffing out leads for Seiter & Miller since 2007.
