Romac, a professional and technical specialty recruitment and staffing firm, plans an integrated marketing program for the launch of its new site called kforce.com, The KnowledgeForce Network, set for late 1999.
“We selected Grey based on its extensive experience in e-commerce and its track record for creativity in building leading brands using both traditional advertising and interactive communications,” said Thomas E. Young, senior vice president of marketing for OneSoft.
Grey’s inaugural effort for OneSoft is a national print campaign debuting this week in business and technology publications. The print ads will appear in The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Fortune, Red Herring, The Standard and in online publications.
The print ads use the ubiquitous barcode to connect retail to e-commerce, with a tagline that reads: “For a Bigger Bottom Line.”

kforce.com is being designed to be a high-tech recruitment and career management tool that matches people with opportunities and organizations with candidates on a real-time basis over the Internet.
