When Laura Muir launched Momentum in 2004 she began collaborating with fellow advertising industry veterans who have proven track records, finely honed skills and broad, deep experience. Momentum principals have been colleagues—and often competitors—longer than most Colorado Springs agencies have been in business.
Momentum offers the best of both worlds; big agency experience and expertise enhanced with small agency flexibility. All of us have owned our own ad agencies or design firms and know what it takes to deliver results. We share the philosophy that you don’t have to be big to think big. We are the decision makers and we are the doers.
Laura MuirSince graduating from the University of Colorado in 1977 Laura has been a fixture of the Colorado Springs advertising and public relations industry and a pillar of the community.
