March, 2006 - NIA Creative moves into new markets, launching sales offices in Las Vegas and Austin

NIA Creative is on the move! In its efforts to further broaden its reach, NIA has opened sales offices in 2 major markets, Las Vegas, Nevada and Austin, Texas. The Las Vegas office will serve the local travel, tourism and convention market, enabling NIA to expand its clientbase and service offerings. The Austin office will serve not only Texas, but surrounding states as well.

The Las Vegas office will be led by Craig Finetti who has worked with NIA Creative for several years as Video and Event Director. Craig will continue to serve in that capacity while also spearheading client relationships with companies local to the Las Vegas area as well as serving clients who exhibit at tradeshows and events in that area.

The Austin office will be led by Rick Howell, Client Services Director. NIA clients will also remember Rick, who worked with NIA previously leading the company's public relations efforts.

The expansion into new locales is another example of NIA's aggressive plan for growth this year, and it is hoped that success in these markets will blaze a trail for an international office in the near future.
