Magrino, now in its 32nd year, boasts a team of over sixty full-time employees with offices in New York City, Atlanta, Chicago, and Miami. This broad reach allows the agency to effectively connect clients with both national and regional media, delivering impactful results across diverse markets. Over the past year, the agency played a key role in the billion-dollar reinvestment transforming The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, which included high-profile events like the inaugural Formula 1 Vegas Grand Prix. In the food and wine space, Magrino maintained its prominence with successful campaigns for Kohler Food and Wine, Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman Cookout, Pebble Beach Food & Wine, and The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The agency also created an unforgettable experience with the Royal Salute Polo Edition launch in Palm Beach and facilitated Martha Stewart’s cover appearance on the talked-about Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Client retention remains strong, and in 2024, Magrino expanded its roster with sixteen new clients across various sectors. The agency also welcomed back two former employees: Senior Vice Presidents Mary Ogushwitz, who oversees digital and social channels, and David Mandler, who brings extensive experience from his previous ventures in beverage and alcohol PR.
