Team One, an advertising agency based in Los Angeles, California, is a division of Saatchi & Saatchi.[1][2] It was founded in 1987 and focuses on luxury products and services.
History
[edit]Team One has a staff of more than 400, including offices in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C.[3][4] Originally based in El Segundo, it moved to Jefferson Boulevard in the Silicon Beach technology, entertainment, and media hub of Los Angeles, in 2014.[4][5] The relocation of its main offices was described in a Los Angeles Business Journal article as part of the establishment of that street as a west coast analogue of Madison Avenue—home to many of the region's top advertising agencies.[4]
The company's clients include Lexus, HSBC Premier, Häagen Dazs, Indian Motocycle Manufacturing Company,[6] and The Ritz Carlton.[3]
As of June 2015, Julie Michael is president of Team One; she has been with the company since 1998.[7]
