Agency History
How it all started.
The company was founded by Debbie Augustine in 1996 out of her own home. Soon, a handful of staff support was working in wall-to-wall quarters shared by one loveable miniature Schnauzer. Today Debbie has grown her agency to a robust team of over fifty professionals (plus two more Schnauzers and twin toddlers). Each member of the Augustine staff has been handpicked for their diverse and highly unique backgrounds, experience, personality, creative talents and their ability to work closely and compassionately as a team with both clients and co-workers.
As the business continued to thrive Augustine & Associates opened an office in Newport Beach. The agency’s growth has been exponential with clients ranging from retailers in Dallas to developers in Dubai.
The results have been successful on many levels—both for clients as well as Augustine & Associates itself. The company has been awarded nearly 40 MAME Awards for excellence in marketing by the Building Industry Association and other recognized associations. The award-winning success continues, mainly attributed to the strategic efforts of Augustine’s internal design division—producing materials that far exceed the norm in creativity and national recognition. The ideas and collaboration between each of the departments offer a steady flow of fresh new perspectives—showcasing a point of view that sets each client apart from the crowd. This is how big things happen—how we help them in every way “make their mark”—which is how we make our mark.
