Ingalls Moranville Advertising, commonly known as IM, was an American advertising agency.

Company

In May 1996, Ingalls Moranville Advertising was awarded an exclusive marketing contract with Sega of America to market the Sega Saturn. Replacing Goodby Silverstein & Partners, the firm's poorly-received advertising is thought to have been a notable contributor to the Saturn's struggles in the United States; the agency's campaigns were markedly less-upbeat in tone than those created by Sega's previously-contracted agencies.

In 1997, When Sega of America dropped the firm in favor of Foote, Cone & Belding, Ingalls Moranville sued for breach of contract and was awarded $185,000. Sometime in the next few years, the agency officially went out of business.
