Hey, if you're an ad agency and you're not in the proverbial heart of things -- Madison Avenue -- then you might as well acknowledge that fact right up front. That seems to be the way of things at Phoenix, Arizona-based agency Off Madison Avenue. Yeah, that's the agency's name -- Off Madison Avenue. And they are expanding! But not to Madison Avenue. Confused? No, neither am I.

But I can tell you the agency is opening two new offices, one in Los Angeles and one in Boulder, Colorado -- which, it seems, is where every agency wants to be since Crispin Porter + Bogusky moved there. 

Anyway, of the expansion, Off Madison Avenue CEO David Anderson said: "Broadening our footprint has always been part of our vision. Los Angeles and Boulder are markets that align well with our core capabilities and offer significant opportunities for our clients and our staff." 

Media Director Patrick Murphy is leading the Los Angeles office, and Spike Stevens, Director of Interactive Services and Innovation, heads up the Boulder location. David Anderson, Roger Hurni and Mike Horne will be based in Phoenix and oversee all three offices.
