Hubbub Marketing, LLC is the former AB&B Marketing, a company founded in 2009 by Betty Osenbaugh and Matt Zaleski as the marketing arm of AB&B Ergonomics, a material handling company founded by Ms. Osenbaugh and her late husband Butch.
However, AB&B Marketing soon was in demand, not just for material handling marketing, but for marketing political campaigns, overall campaign management, and governmental affairs consulting.
In developing AB&B Marketing into a go-to political marketing operation, Mr. Zaleski depended heavily on his two runs for Toledo City Council and over 30 years experience in broadcasting, newsroom management experience, as well as public relations and marketing.
The company worked on campaigns for D. Michael Collins and Sandy Drabik Collins for Toledo Mayor, Richard Roberts for Lucas County Judge, George Sarantou for Lucas County Commissioner and for Lucas County Recorder, Dee Talmage and Mark Wagoner for State Central Committee. Additionally, the company provided marketing, public relations, and governmental affairs for charter schools.
From 2008 - 2015, AB&B Marketing provided marketing and public relations consulting for The Maritime Academy of Toledo. AB&B Marketing developed annual marketing programs that took enrollment from 90 to nearly 300 cadets. In August 2012, AB&B Marketing worked the U.S. Navy, The Maritime Academy of Toledo, City of Toledo, Homeland Security, and other local organizations for the highly successful Navy Week in Toledo.
AB&B Marketing’s biggest success was in 2013 when the company helped get D. Michael Collins elected as Toledo mayor, and Theresa M. Gabriel elected as a member of Toledo City Council.
In 2015, following the death of Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins, AB&B Marketing handled marketing and media relations for his widow Sandy Drabik Collins who ran for mayor to serve out the remaining two years of her late husband’s term.
After the November 2015 elections, the decision was made to expand and rename AB&B Marketing. The company became Hubbub Marketing, LLC, specializing in helping small businesses, political marketing, governmental affairs, public relations, and working with non-profits on fund raising.
