 PROFILE
Southwest Airlines trusts advertising agency GSD&M Advertising to keep its brand flying high. Recognized as one of the top creative ad agencies in the US, GSD&M has handled Southwest Airlines ad campaigns for some 20 years. In addition to creating commercials and print ads, the firm also does interactive marketing and handles media planning and buying. Other clients include DreamWorks, Land Rover, and MasterCard. GSD&M has offices in Austin, Texas, as well as Chicago. Founded in 1971 by six University of Texas graduates -- including chairman Steve Gurasich and president Roy Spence Jr. -- the agency was part of UK-based GGT Group when Omnicom bought GGT in 1998.
