NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Mar 19, 2012) - Brand engagement firm Sullivan announced today that it has been named 2012 Small Agency of the Year by BtoB Magazine.

"We are honored to be recognized as BtoB Magazine's Small Agency of the Year," said Barbara Apple Sullivan, Founder and Managing Partner of Sullivan.
