OMAHA, Nebraska, August 5, 2025 — Smith Kroeger, a 63-year old, full-service advertising agency, has acquired RCG Advertising and Media from Jim Svoboda and Stacy Vance.  The transaction is effective immediately. 

“We have long admired the team and the work at RCG, and noted the similar cultures between our two companies,” said Terry Kroeger, CEO of Smith Kroeger.  “We are grateful for the opportunity to combine these two firms, scaling both for the future.  We thank Jim and Stacy for working with us to make this possible.”
