I’ll admit it, Neal Advertising is owned and lead by a clown.  I’ll also admit that we are really proud of it.  Neal Bocian a.k.a. Bagels The Clown is President of Neal Advertising and brings smiles to sick children in a local hospital.

At my first interview for my job at Neal Advertising, I was asked to wait in Neal’s office.  I sat in front of his desk observing the newspaper clippings and wall art.  Behind me were two glass cases containing an impressive collection of clowns.  All of which seemed to be staring right in my direction.  Honestly I was a little scared.

I later found out that Neal volunteers his time and talents at the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center in Boston as a clown.  For 16 years Bagels The Clown (Neal Bocian) has been twisting balloons into shapes, performing magic and cheering up sick children.  These children are cancer patients and between 1 and 21 years of age.

It speaks to the culture that we have at Neal Advertising.  We are a family of designers, developers, account reps and other managers all lead by a “clown”.  Neal has an amazing ability to generate results using his unique mixture of humor and experience to motivate us.  Neal is not only a generous clown but an experience marketer with great ideas and a great team to implement them.
