New Albuquerque Ad Agency “3” Opens Doors

3 is a magic number. It’s also the name of the new full-service advertising and design firm headed by three — that ‘s 3 — of New Mexico’s most experienced and talented advertising minds. The partnership was co-founded by Chris Moore, former account manager of McKee Wallwork Cleveland; Sam Maclay, former vice president and creative director of Rick Johnson & Company; and Tim McGrath, former design director of Rick Johnson & Company.

Together or separately, the trio has won recognition from virtually every major national and international advertising award show, including the coveted EFFIE awards, the One Show, Communication Arts, National Addys and Cannes. In addition, the individuals of 3 have won hundreds of New Mexico Addys and several Best of Show Addys, American Marketing Awards, and recognition from international publications such as Archive, Print Magazine’s Regional Design Annual, SHOOT Magazine, How Magazine, Step Magazine, Coupe, Graphis and others.

The new agency has full-service capabilities, ranging from strategy and account service to media and creative/design services. 3 started business with branding and marketing assignments from clients based in Albuquerque, Florida and California.
