Our Story

Williams Advertising was founded in 1985 by Hopkinsville, Kentucky native Douglas E. Williams. An ad specialty expert, Doug provided promotional products to the Hopkinsville and Christian County area for over 30 years.  Doug worked up until shortly before his death doing what he loved – talking with his customers, writing up their pen and calendar orders, and refusing to be convinced by Sarah that computers were the most efficient way to conduct business.

Sarah Whitaker, Doug’s granddaughter, joined Williams Advertising in 2015 after previously having a career in corporate marketing.  In 2018, Sarah was named co-owner and in 2020 became owner of Williams Advertising. 

This family business recruited another member of the Williams family when Becki (Williams) Wells joined the company as Operations Manager in 2018.  Graphic designer Jessica Bueno joined Williams Advertising in 2019.  Kaitlyn McNicholas joined the Williams Advertising team in 2020 and is Account Coordinator for the Branded division of Williams Advertising – before it was known as the Branded division! 

In early 2021, the Branded division of Williams Advertising was launched to give a dedicated space for the promotional products work we do within our marketing agency.  An entire site dedicated to our branded merchandise capabilities was launched at thebrandedthings.com.  The promotional items work and inspiration for client projects can be found on Branded Instagram and Branded LinkedIn as well as thebrandedthings.com site. With Williams Advertising’s marketing services, customers served are primarily surrounding the Hopkinsville, Kentucky regional area.  Williams Advertising serves marketing customers in Hopkinsville, Murray, Kentucky, Clarksville, Tennessee and Nashville, Tennessee.  The Branded division of Williams Advertising serves clients nationwide.  The separation of the two divisions means marketing clients have a dedicated space to learn more about their marketing here on williamsadco.com, and learn more about promotional products on thebrandedthings.com. 

In 2022, Williams Advertising welcomed Emily Faulkner as she became Sales & Account Manager for the Branded division of Williams Advertising.
