Howard Klatzky, president
For Howard, it's not about getting bigger clients; it's about making clients bigger. Howard founded H. T. Klatzky & Associates on the belief that he could create a unique advertising and public relations agency by producing results-oriented work and creating long-term relationships with clients.

Howard started H. T. Klatzky & Associates in 1975, at age 25. It has since grown to become the largest advertising agency in Duluth and in the region. Today, he maintains that intuitive, entrepreneurial business sense and has fostered an environment that allows a strong team of professionals to grow and thrive. They are passionate about delivering results for their clients.

Howard enjoys offshore fishing on Lake Superior with his son, talking about offshore fishing on Lake Superior, and buying lures for offshore fishing on Lake Superior. He also enjoys cooking, golf, bird hunting, and collecting antiques and old advertising.

Marsha Hystead, senior vice president/senior creative director
Marsha's mother raised her to have a thirst for knowledge. She believes that's the foundation for doing great work that tells a client's story simply and effectively.

Marsha supervises all of the agency's creative functions. (Sometimes she even gets to participate herself!) And she's discovered that doing great work has as much to do with laughter and tears as with sweat and blood.

Marsha spends the rest of her life keeping up with two teens, maintaining beautiful perennial gardens, enjoying the occasional round of golf and walking her chocolate lab.
