PHILADELPHIA—One of Philadelphia's longest-lived advertising and marketing firms, DDCworks, has moved its headquarters to The Cast Iron Building, located at 718 Arch Street, as the agency continues to grow and to take full advantage of the new business, networking and recruiting opportunities Center City has to offer.

“Even though DDCworks promotes some of the most widely known businesses and brands, in recent years the company still found it difficult to recruit the right talent and to create the best type of networking opportunities from outside of the city as the action in the advertising/PR industry began to shift more and more back to Center City from the suburbs,” Tim Cifelli, the agency's president and chief operating office, tells GlobeSt.com exclusively. “To now be located in the middle of that action has already benefitted DDCworks greatly with new clients and new staff.”

The firm was previously located in Horsham and Conshohocken, northern and western suburbs of Philadelphia, respectively.
