Eric Mower & Associates

Eric Mower & Associates is a marketing communications firm with seven offices on the East Coast of the United States.

History
Eric Mower joined Silverman Advertising in Syracuse, New York, in 1968. In 1975, the firm was renamed Silverman & Mower. When Art Silveman sold his interest in 1980, Mower became the sole owner and continued his leadership of the firm. Starting in the 1990s, acquisition fueled Eric Mower & Associate's expansion. EMA acquired two Buffalo agencies - Levy, King and White and Mitchell, DeTine and Neiler, as well as Omnicom's BBDO Rochester, Syracuse-based business-to-business agency Sage Marcom; Charlotte, North Carolina's Price McNabb and most recently Sarasota, Florida-based Clarke Advertising. Additional offices have been established in Albany, New York and Atlanta, Georgia.
