WHO WE ARE

1978

1978

It was August of 1978. A couple of young marketing and advertising creatives decided to quit their jobs and start their own agency. Not to get rich and famous. But to do things their own way in their own laid-back style. Not to get big and complicated. Experience the magic of working directly with the client as a valued member of the team. Imagine the creative freedom without the encumbrances of account executives and without layers upon layers of organization to get in the way of truly great ideas. All of which sounds logical–but is about 180 degrees away from how agencies traditionally work.

Direct Contact Creative: 100% Information Flow

At ADS & PR, Direct Contact Creative explodes the usual barriers to the purest communication between agency and client. Our client partners talk, and the people actually doing the work listen. Just think of how liberating and empowering it can be! There are no intermediaries to muck up the translation of messages. And no superfluous middlemen to lengthen the process and pad the bill.
