Cindy began OTW Advertising 17 years ago in New York City, building the agency on the premise that retailers and consumer-focused companies have a unique set of needs and values that guide them in their advertising. She has successfully built OTW based on the tenets of solid branding and making sure that every marketing and creative touch to the consumer carries some type of emotionally based messaging.
