Creative Advertising

Print, design and promotional products since 1984

Gainesville, Florida is home to Creative Advertising, a full-service agency for design, print and promotional products. It has been operating since 1984, and it says it helps with every stage of a promotional or marketing need. Its work covers design, printing and promotional products for businesses, groups and families, with a particular base among the businesses and student groups around the University of Florida.

Design, logos and the path to press

The agency designs logos and artwork for printed and promotional pieces, and it takes each project from design through to the press. It says it can conceptualize and create the design for a client's printing and promotional needs, with the aim of getting the design and ordering process done with as little effort as possible.

Branded shirts, hats and bags

Shirts, hats and bags, decorated by screen printing or embroidery, make up a large share of the orders. The agency helps clients design the items and then produces them at what it describes as a good price. It serves business teams, university groups and family reunions in the same way, helping clients choose the right items for each occasion.

Clients from the University of Florida and Gainesville

The agency has worked for more than thirty years with businesses in Gainesville and with organizations linked to the University of Florida. Its clients include the American Institute of Architecture Students, the American Indian Science and Engineering Society, the Florida Aquaculture and Aquarium Club, the First Generation Leadership Program, and the Union of Active Puerto Rican Students. Many clients have stayed with the agency for twenty years or more, and most new ones come by word of mouth.

Working by phone and email

Most people do not have time to visit an office, so the agency works with most clients by phone and email. It says this lets clients place orders and get on with their day. It also says it searches for good prices and quality materials and passes any savings on to clients, aiming to bring each project in under budget.

Recent work for student and community groups

Recent examples the agency lists include a Florida line dance hat and an IGSA hoodie and T-shirt. The agency says it takes on projects of every size.
