Fingerpaint, a strategic and creative advertising agency with its global headquarters in Saratoga Springs, announced the opening of its new Manhattan office at 825 Third Ave.  in midtown.

“Our expansion into Manhattan represents a logical next step in our growth plans,” said founder Ed Mitzen. “As we continue to grow internationally, adding a location in New York City is a natural progression. We look forward to continuing to serve the best interests of current and potential clients.”

The new location is Fingerpaint’s fourth, joining Saratoga Springs; Albany; and Wayne, Pa.

The expansion rounded out an exciting year of growth for the firm. In 2013, Fingerpaint expanded its headquarters to a 30,000-square-foot facility; increased its in-house video and audio production services with the acquisition of a veteran AV production company; added more than 40 jobs; and ranked No. 815 on “Inc.” magazine’s list of fastest-growing private companies.
