25 YEARS EXPERIENCE

Back in the 1970’s I was a retail manager. I couldn’t find an affordable way to get good newspaper ads built, so I started making my own. I discovered that I liked making ads more than I liked retailing, so in 1981, I founded Patterson:Ads.

Obviously, the media for visual communication have changed since then, but the basic principles remain the same. Whether we're producing a newspaper ad or a web site, our goal is simple, clear communication. We want to tell your potential customers why they will benefit from doing business with you. We want to make that message jump out at your audience, so they get it effortlessly. We want to help your business grow.

Most of the examples shown in this site are recent, but scattered throughout are examples going back to the early eighties.
