An Exciting New Chapter at Sells Agency

One of the best business transitions is the kind that doesn't feel like a transition at all.

That's exactly what this moment represents for Sells Agency. Last month, Mike Sells officially transitioned ownership of the agency to longtime partners Drew Finkbeiner, Jon Hodges and Thad James. While the ownership structure is new, the leadership isn't. They've spent years working side by side, making strategic decisions together and shaping the agency's future long before the paperwork was signed.

For our clients, partners and friends, that's exactly the point. This isn't about changing who we are. It's about ensuring we continue being the agency you've come to know and trust.

Mike purchased Sells Agency from his father, Bob Sells, in 1997 and has spent nearly three decades building an agency focused on long-term relationships, smart strategy and measurable results. Those values aren't changing. In fact, they're the foundation of everything we'll continue to do moving forward. Mike will remain with the agency full time for the next three years as chief strategist, continuing to serve clients, lead business development and help shape the agency's future.

One of the things we're most proud of is that this transition wasn't rushed. It has been part of a thoughtful succession plan that began more than a decade ago. That intentional approach means our clients experience what matters most: continuity, confidence and the same team they've always relied on.

We're also incredibly grateful for the talented people who make Sells Agency what it is every day. From account service and creative to media, digital, web development, video production and public relations, our team is filled with experienced professionals who care deeply about our clients' success. Their talent, collaboration and commitment are what make this agency special.

As we look ahead, our focus remains exactly where it's always been – helping our clients solve challenges, tell compelling stories and create marketing that delivers real business results. The names on the ownership documents may have changed, but our commitment hasn't.

To our clients, partners and friends, thank you for trusting us, supporting us and growing with us through the years. We're excited for what's ahead and look forward to continuing to build great work together for many years to come.
