Over two years ago, Bernard Urban rebranded his URBANadvertising company to become GIGANTIC. Last April, agency We Are Gigantic was born out of an MDC consolidation of its MFP and Kirshenbaum Bond & Partners agencies. We Are Gigantic was headed by Neil Powell who was formerly a partner at the now defunct MFP which suffered significant client loss.
Urban sued MDC for trademark infringement and recently won, effectively ending the existence of Niel Powell’s We Are GIgantic. Oddly, the We Are Gigantic site, though taken down as part of the court decision, is now back up. It seems, Powell, or someone, is trying to get whatever business they can out of this drama. The We Are Gigantic site’s contact section says “We’ve moved” and a telephone number leads a company called Tremendous, which, following We Are Gigantic, is pretty funny.
We’ve left a message for clarification on all of this and will share that with you as soon as we have a response.
