Ellev Advertising Agency

Serving businesses across the Carolinas, Ellev Advertising Agency offers advertising and marketing under one roof. The agency dates its founding to 1995 and places its base in Charleston, South Carolina. It describes itself as award-winning and as the best full-service agency in the region, and it says its work covers nearly every part of a business's marketing, from the design of a logo to the buying of television time.

Media buying with more than two decades behind it

The agency says it has more than twenty years of experience in planning and buying media. Its media work covers television, radio, billboards and print, and the agency says the aim is to get the most from a client's media spend and to show a return on the money put into each campaign. Media planning is presented as one of the core functions of the firm, sitting alongside creative and digital work rather than apart from it.

Websites built for phones and search

The web side of the business covers website design, responsive builds that work on phones and tablets, and apps. Search engine optimization and social media management are offered as a way of getting clients found online and of building an audience through social sharing. The agency says that a site that does not display properly on mobile devices is at risk of losing its place in search results, and it offers to design new responsive sites to avoid that outcome.

Creative work from logos to drone video

The creative department handles branding, graphic design, printing, copywriting and public relations. Its video work includes commercial production and drone footage, and its photography covers the images a business uses in its marketing. The agency describes this range as the reason a client can bring every marketing task to one firm, from a small printed piece to a campaign that runs across several channels at once.

Awards the agency points to

The agency reports recognition from Design Rush, which listed it among leading digital marketing, web design and branding firms. It also states that its work has won numerous awards since it was founded. The site shows examples of corporate branding and a portfolio whose examples include an outlet shopping center, the county's ageing council, an assisted living community, a restaurant and a conservation group. These are presented as examples of the range of clients the agency has worked with in the region.
