Today, TMA+Peritus is a leading strategic interaction firm having worked with national brands that include McDonald’s, President Cheeses, Bombardier, Footlocker.com, Lactalis, American Family Insurance, Lincoln Logs, Baxter Health Care, Finish Line and F&W Publishing.

In late 2007, TMA+Peritus opened an office in Madison after working extensively in the area for the last 15 years.   Over the last five years, the agency has quadrupled in size, and plans are to keep growing and re-investing in top performing people.
