# 60 Years of Franco

Since Tony Franco founded Anthony M. Franco, Inc. on January 9, 1964, Franco has evolved – along with the city we love (Detroit!) and the industry itself – to become the longest-standing PR agency in Michigan.

Today, Franco is a women-led integrated communications agency that builds strategic programs for clients in a variety of industries with a local, national and global reach.
