Frank Tolkacz
Partner
Without skipping a beat, Frank can slide seamlessly from strategic marketing to the creative process. Fluid and forward thinking, Frank quickly understands your challenges, is quick to come up with a marketing solution and even quicker to make you laugh. His sense of humor accentuates all he does.
With over 20 years of advertising agency experience, including launching products for Wyeth, Merck and PECO's Exelon Energy division and building brands for Genuardi's and Sovereign Bank, Frank helps his clients march to the beat of a different drum to stand out in a crowded marketplace. He has helped grow his client's businesses at agencies like VICOM/FCB, Tierney, MRO and Princeton Partners.
A product of the '70's, Frank gravitates to classic rock, R&B and pop hits from that era but he has a great love for all kinds of music and has been a proud iPod owner since 2003 and paid full price for his iPhone on its debut sale date in 2007.
