  • Arvizu Advertising

Phoenix based Arvizu Advertising & Promotions Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Friday, the Arizona Republic reports.

The company's client roster has included McDonald's, Wells Fargo, Salt River Project and Bashas' Food City. Ray Arvizu, who started Arvizu Advertising in 1991, said the company has been affected by lower spending among clients. "I felt the best way for our company to move forward was to restructure our debt . . . get us prepared for future years," he said. The company employs 30 workers after laying off 11 last week. The company has between $1 million and $10 million in both assets and liabilities, according to its Chapter 11 petition filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Phoenix.

Under Chapter 11, a company continues operating while it devises a plan to pay creditors. Arvizu's creditors include CBS Outdoor, Clear Channel Outdoor and several broadcasters. Marketers have been hit hard by lower spending by businesses and a decline in print and broadcast advertising.
