Peter Strascina boasts over four decades of experience in Advertising, Marketing, & Public Relations. He founded Strascina & Partners Advertising in 1978, which grew into New Mexico’s second largest advertising agency. Twenty years later, S&P merged with another prominent agency, which set Peter free to get back to basics. Namely, boxing up hundreds of creative and community awards and consulting with entrepreneurs from his Casita. But not in his boxers. He established Strascina Strascina Garcia Advertising in 2006 with his daughter, Francesca. Peter retains a BFA in English & Broadcast from University of New Mexico.

Francesca Strascina Garcia’s decade of marketing and advertising experience started on the client side in Los Angeles after attaining a BA in English Literature from University of Southern California. No, she does not care about the Trojans. Having worked for the marketing director of a large contact management software company in LA, she returned to her roots in New Mexico. She has worked for Albuquerque’s most prominent advertising agencies, including as Account Supervisor. Her work on New Mexico’s statewide secondhand smoke campaign won her account team a Gold EFFIE Award from the New York American Marketing Association. Francesca is Peter’s daughter, but is more widely known as Tony’s sister.
