Minneapolis business-to-business marketing communications agency Schermer Kuehl has been named one of BtoB Magazine’s 2008 Top Agencies. The 100-agency list was released last week, and can be viewed at BtoBonline.com.

This is the first time Schermer Kuehl has been included and the agency is one of only three Twin Cities companies on the list. Of them, it is the only privately-held agency. The others are Carlson Marketing and Martin/Williams, both owned by global holding companies.

“It’s an honor to be part of the BtoB Top Agencies list because it shows we are in rare company locally and nationally,” says Chris Schermer, President, Schermer Kuehl. “BBDO New York, Ogilvy, McCann Erickson, Digitas and other powerhouse agencies are on it, and now we are too. Our inclusion comes from the double-digit growth we had last year as a result of work we won from Best Buy For Business, Compellent and Stratasys. This year, we’ve landed Ceridian LifeWorks, so we’re on a roll.”

BtoB is a monthly magazine published by Crain Communications for marketing strategists covering all disciplines of business-to-business marketing. For the Top Agency list, published yearly in April, the magazine’s editors examine and rate agencies based on revenue growth, new client acquisition and service expansion. Schermer Kuehl scored high in all three areas.
