This is a terrific endorsement of the work being done by The Concept Farm for The Bank of New York Mellon. The following story has been forwarded all over BNYM and was sent to Ray by Peter Hayes, Chief Marketing Officer. Creatives probably don’t often see this kind of feedback from your clients, the kind that says the work you do effectively helps them do the work that they do, and Ray wanted to be sure you all received some much deserved praise. Story quoted below:
Account funded with $2M from Peach Magazine ad lead.
Summary / recap Davey Davidson had $5M net proceeds from InBev’s buyout of AB. Davey is retired from Anheuser- Busch, and he never sold his stock. He had researched firms and came across BNY Mellon. Interestingly, his check for the proceeds came from BNYM - which was one of the reasons he looked into our firm. He was getting his car serviced, and came across BNY Mellon ad in Peach Magazine in dealership waiting room. He had intended to call earlier, and the ad prompted him to call that day from the dealership. Called number on ad and asked for someone who could meet with him immediately about opening an account, I was the only sales officer available that afternoon. Paperwork signed and check for $2M delivered at 2nd meeting. Unfortunately he had already committed the other $3M with previous firms prior to BNY Mellon meetings. He said the Madoff incident is why he decided to have his assets at multiple firms.

In case some of y’all haven’t heard, The Concept Farm received what we can all consider, one of our greatest accolades in the nearly ten years since our barn doors opened . We were listed by Crains as one of the Top 50 Best Places to Work in New York City for 2008. We actually nestled ourselves in way up at #20. Right between Goldman Sachs and Silverstien Properties! Pretty darn good, fellow Farmers, pretty darn good.
According to Crains: “Crain’s ‘Best Places to Work in New York City’ represents the most outstanding employers from throughout our five boroughs, as defined by their employees,” said Jill Kaplan, VP & publisher of Crain’s New York Business. “In these challenging times, this distinguished group of winners can be proud knowing it was the praise and support of their employees that earned them this honor.”
We tip our straw hat to every Farmer, past, present and future for making The Concept Farm the special place it is.
Congratulations and thank you.
