For freelancers or firms doing direct marketing or business marketing, for creatives in ad agencies and design firms, there is a new Name Dropper in town. For the first time in its eight year history, Oz Publishing, Inc. has branched into the list rental business. Oz has acquired a division of The List Partners, Inc., known widely as The List. Oz’s database now contains nearly 10,000 agency and design firm Creative Directors, Art Directors, Print Production Managers, Broadcast Producers, Designers, Art Buyers, and Account Executives. In addition, Oz has a database of over 10,000 people and companies working in the film and video production and post production industry. To market this new venture, Oz has formed a new division, Name Dropper.

The List and its Principals Morgan Shorey and Todd Knutson will continue marketing business to business services, now focusing primarily on developing a corporate database that is marketed to agencies and design firms seeking to do business with marketing, advertising, and communication specialists in large corporations.

Terms of the deal between Oz and The List have not been disclosed.

Wrangling the sales and keeping the data updated and fresh will be Oz’s new Name Dropper, Sarah Quinn. Quinn moves into her position after a year with Oz. In that time, she has done any and every thing possible in the publishing world. As new maven of data, Quinn will be the quintessential Name Dropper.
