Allen, Brady and Marsh

A quick Google search seems to show quite a lot of variation in how this name should be rendered: "Allen Brady Marsh", "Allen, Brady & Marsh", "Allen, Brady and Marsh" and so on. This may be complicated by the understandable fact it may have changed its name in its lifetime. Can anyone pin down which it was actually founded as? The same quick Google search did not reveal an obvious website for the company. 81.102.142.236 (talk) 23:03, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I worked there from 1975 - 1985, with the exception of an 18 month break, 1978 - 1979. Mike Brady left in 1976, but the company's name was unchanged. Whilst the agency was almost always referred to informally by its initials, ABM, when a full spelling was needed it was always was Allen, Brady & Marsh. The company was acquired by Lowe-Howard Spink in (I believe) 1987, but I'm unaware of any change in the presentation of the name. PDAWSON3 (talk) 23:31, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
