Move Highlights Nearly 30 Years for Marketing Firm

(DES MOINES, IA, September 16, 2009) – Strategic America (SA), Des Moines’ leading advertising and PR firm as voted by readers of the Des Moines Business Record, will move to a new West Des Moines location this December. Strategic America has been at The Members Group facility at 1500 Northwest 118th Street in Clive for more than 10 years.

The new property that SA will call home, 6600 Westown Parkway, is owned by National Life of Vermont (NLV) and formerly housed Regency home builders. Doug Siedenburg of The Siedenburg Group represented SA in the agreement, while Marcus Pitts and Matt Lundberg of NAI Ruhl & Ruhl Commercial Company, represented NLV.

“This new office space presents a great opportunity for Strategic America to showcase our skills and work, which means SA will ensure an innovative environment that also highlights the products and services of our clients” says SA President & COO John Schreurs. “Our associates always seek a better way in our strategies and creativity. So, we sought and fortunately have found a unique location that, once it’s fully built out, will reflect that. We’re excited to exhibit the products and campaigns of our valued clients, many of which are home products companies.”

“This location will suit SA’s needs well,” says Marcus Pitts, Vice President at NAI Ruhl & Ruhl Commercial Company. “While SA is undertaking remodeling to develop its own unique space, many of the design elements from Regency will serve as a foundation for this. We are confident that this agreement and this location are a win-win for all parties.”

“We feel that 6600 Westown is a class ‘A’ building and SA is the exact type of tenant that we are looking for,” adds Matt Lundberg, Vice President, NAI Ruhl & Ruhl Commercial Company.

“We believe that this facility will not only serve to highlight our clients and the work we do for them, but also to continue to attract the high-level talent needed to compete nationally,” says Schreurs.
