History

Level was founded in 1995 as Web Associates (WA) by Dave Dahl and Mark Tuttle, with offices in Santa Barbara, California, which relocated to San Luis Obispo, California in 1998. It was the first external web agency for both Hewlett-Packard (1996) and Apple Inc. (1997), and has had multi-year relationship with both companies. In 1996, Lucent Technologies hired the firm to make their first corporate website and an online CMS (1997) for their domestic and international sales offices.

Tom Adamski was CEO from 2002 until 2012. The agency opened a second office in San Jose in 2007. In 2008, it rebranded as LEVEL Studios (LEVEL). On November 20, 2014 Daniel Connolly was named the new CEO.[1]

In September 2010, Rosetta (at the time the nation’s largest digital and direct interactive agency) acquired Level.[2] In July 2011, Publicis Groupe (now Publicis) completed their acquisition of Rosetta, thus acquiring Level.[3]

Publicis Groupe re-launched the Level Studios brand in 2013, as a client delivery model and structure.[4] In 2014, Dan Connolly, who had been previously serving as partner, was appointed President of Level Studios, a new position.[5] During his presidency, the agency nearly doubled its client base.[6]
