the time of need and on a pre-need basis.



    According to Leigh Ann Jeter, director of marketing, advertising and

research for Stewart Enterprises, "The decision was unanimous among our

senior executive staff. Red Square's team of advertising and public

relations professionals provided us with more than an advertising campaign;

they brought a sustainable, long term marketing approach that our entire

company will rally behind. We could not be more pleased or more excited

about our partnership."



    Rich Sullivan, Jr., president and executive creative director at Red

Square, said, "We immersed ourselves into the category and found that a

conventional approach wouldn't bring the success needed to achieve the

company's sales goals. Stewart needed a big marketing idea coupled with

breakthrough creative executions. This is a tremendous opportunity, and we

are extremely pleased to be part of their team."

Agency's annual sales to $35 million.
