STEVE LOMBARDI OWNER
Steve combines his energy and inherent love for the marketing industry with a commitment to quality and accountability.He has a degree in journalism, but jokes that his diploma from McDonald's Hamburger U's Marketing Division has probably served the agency better. Before joining Gary Suggs in the advertising agency business, Steve worked for the Hanford Sentinel, KSBY-TV in San Luis Obispo and KEYT-TV in Santa Barbara. In the early 80's Suggs & Lombardi started Senior Magazine, a publication targeting the growing senior population on the Central Coast. Steve has always felt that the collective ego is more important than the individual ego, thus the line: "When everybody's thinking like me, nobody's thinking very much."
