full-service since 1991

The Standard Came First. The Agency Came Second.

One team. every discipline. no exceptions how it's done.

how it all started
‍

She was already winning when she walked away
By 1990, Brenda Brooks had won a national award for raising sales over 15% for a regional Subway franchise group, during a stretch when the brand was adding stores faster than almost any other in the country. She had also earned her place as a partner at one of Arkansas's top agencies.

As the agency grew, her partner wanted to scale one way and she believed in another. Meanwhile, client servicing was slipping through the cracks and to Brenda, that was reason enough to change course.

So in 1991 Brenda left and built Brooks Advertising, the agency she had been arguing for.

It has run on the same principle ever since: the best we have, for every client, every time.

Most Agencies Don't Get To Be Old

The average client-agency relationship lasts around three years. Ours have run longer than some of our competitors have existed. Thirty-five years is not a milestone we're marking, it's the only proof that exists for the things you can't check before you sign.

Anyone can win an account. Keeping one requires the parts of an agency you cannot evaluate in a pitch. We have been doing that since 1991, through every channel that has come and gone since.

Most of what we do today didn't exist when we opened. We rebuilt around all of it. Understanding businesses, creating work that deserves to run, and saying what doesn't work has held since 1991 and it holds now.

Steamatic Franchise Owner
I bought the store eight years ago. It's been in business for 25 years, and the previous owner taught me everything he knew about advertising, so I kept doing what he'd always done. We spent thousands and thousands of dollars every month and listened to the reps. We thought they were doing what was best for us, but they were doing what was best for them. In three years, maybe one customer ever said they'd seen or heard our ad.

I met Brenda on a flight to Dallas. I figured she'd say what they all say, but she clearly knew what she was talking about, so I gave it a try. In the first week, we had dozens of people coming in every day saying, 'I saw your ad.' Our employees couldn't believe it.

We don't spend any more money than we did before, and we get so much more in return. Going direct doesn't save you anything. Brenda negotiates a better deal and makes sure your spots play at the right time to the right people, instead of randomly in the middle of the night. It makes a huge difference.

She tells us the truth, she works for us, and she does what she says she's going to do. She's always kind, always thinking ahead about how to make things better. One of these days I'm going to retire, and if my business is worth a lot of money, it'll be thanks to Brenda.

We've been with Brenda at Brooks Advertising for about 30 years, since my parents started the business. It's a family relationship, and we've been very well taken care of. Brenda doesn't just do our advertising because it's her job. She truly cares about this family business. She's creative, on time, and very professional.

She's an expert media buyer. Brenda can get rates on TV commercials that stretch our budget far beyond what another agency could, so our dollars go a lot further. She also has a great group of creative resources for our TV commercials and other media, and she puts it all together in one package. That's one less thing I have to think about.

The greatest thing is that if I went directly to the TV stations, I'd pay the same as I pay through Brenda. Her commission comes out of the buys we're already making, so I never have to worry about her raising our costs to earn more. She's truly focused on what's best for our company, and that's what makes it such a successful partnership.

Brenda is a branding expert, too. If you've heard of our company, you've heard 'Ah, Townley.' Brenda came up with that, and for 30 years, that's what people think of when they hear our name. Thank you, Brenda, for helping us build that brand and become as successful as we've been.

We have had the pleasure of working with Brenda of Brooks advertising for well over 15 years. She has handled our advertising needs in a professional, consultative manner that has helped drive sales in our business. We view Brenda at this point as both a partner and a friend in our business and would highly recommend her services. In a world where it seems most advertising organizations are only interested in the size of their commissions Brenda stands apart as someone who fully understands that her role is to help drive our success through varied advertising approaches.
