The Phelps Group is turning 30 years old! And, to kick off the celebration, we recently hosted a gala event at the carousel on the famous Santa Monica Pier. The party’s theme was “thank you” to the many who’ve helped the company become one of the largest, independent agencies on the West Coast and the second-oldest agency in L.A. Here are a few highlights from the evening.

The Phelps Group's Maria Brenner, broadcast editor/producer, and Ed Chambliss, VP and team leader, show off their agency spirit.
