What makes us different? A lot.

Most agencies assign their clients an account executive, designer, web person, and maybe even a social media guru, coder, photographer and more. It takes a week to get going (if you’re lucky), and takes another 1- 3 weeks to get a proof because there’s a different timeline (and hourly charge) for each person involved. Opposite of the big agency is the freelancer. They’re cheap, but typically move slow and lack full service skills.

What makes us unique is that we have big agency experience but move 3 times faster, and have 3 times the skills of freelancers. Every person on this team has a varied skill-set from design to coding to social media advertising and photography. On a small scale, we can handle your graphics, web, and servers. On a larger scale we can take your company through a branding discovery and strategy meeting, develop all deliverables needed, write your software and execute your new strategic marketing plan.

What they say...

“Ad Factory was our sole interactive agency and had responsibility for creating all marketing campaigns including Email, Social, Web and internal marketing assets. She and her team also managed national campaigns, print, collateral and media buys with our other departmental heads. I highly recommend Heather and Ad Factory. They are easy to work with, they deliver great work and produce outstanding results. Ad Factory was extremely responsive to our needs and deadlines, which often required last-minute changes and numerous versions to address the requirements of our 12 divisions across the US. They never let us down.”

“Ad Factory was always there for us in our time of need, 12+ years. At Tootsies we have a lot of last minute projects that arise and Heather along with her team take such great care of us and get us what we need quickly. I know I can always rely on Ad Factory and never have to doubt their professionalism. I do not know what we would do without Heather! She along with the rest of her team work hard and long to get the job done. They bend over backwards for their clients and their creative talent shows through their work!”

For nearly ten years Heather and Ad Factory have been creating graphics, designing and managing multiple websites, and strategically helping my restaurants and other ventures including Cafe Adobe, Texas Back in Business, and others. She also set up a very complex website for one of my ventures that required government-level security servers and a custom application that went through HUD and Earnst & Young audits. Her company responds more quickly than any advertising or online firm that I have ever hired since 1982. The quality is good and they are always cheerful. Highly recommended!

"I've had the pleasure of working with Heather for more than 9 years for my company(s) marketing, positioning, branding, website and e-commerce. I found she has not only industry leading expertise but more importantly, she's remarkably resourceful in providing creative yet cost sensitive solutions. She very quickly got a grasp of our needs and pointed out numerous substantial items which we had not considered. Heather is exceptionally creative and comprehensive in her approach to marketing efficiencies. I couldn't recommend her any higher, especially for small to mid-size businesses looking for cost effective, creative solutions with bottom line impact.”

"I would like to offer my personal and professional recommendation for Heather Foelsing. Since 1995, I have utilized her skills specifically for advanced Photoshop techniques in regards to post-production on photography for magazines. We have hundreds of photographs in various high-circulation publications. Heather's skills with all of Adobe Creative Suite products are expert and in this very competitive field, I rely on her when my clients demand the best."

“We have worked with Heather, the owner of Ad Factory, for over 15 years. She is very professional and we appreciate her quick turnaround time. Heather's management of our website, e-commerce, graphic and marketing needs is critical to the success of our store. We highly recommend her business.”

Custom Software Case Study:

Texas Back in Business was awarded a contract to hand out $100 million federal dollars to small business owners who were affected by hurricane Harvey. We developed a custom application that Earnst & Young audited and approved, and underwriters at GLO / HUD used to track applicants’ federal documents, assess applicant worthiness based on specific custom calculations, hold monies to be potentially awarded in escrow and eventually, distribute the funding, sitting on 4 NSA level security compliant servers we setup and ran.

More about us, in their words:

Fashion Boutique, Arlington, VA

“We found a website tagged as “done by Ad Factory” after spending a year looking for a designer that actually got what we did and could tell our story. We contacted her May 7th and had a new website mockup from her by May 9th! It was creative, easy to understand and navigate. Heather immediately grasped the focus of our business and translated that vision to our website.

Since May of 2012 we have been thrilled with the results we received from Heather and staff. Our marketing has never been better, received more compliments or generated more new business. Heather has the ability to juggle many projects, with perfection and on a timely basis.

She handles our e-blasts, magazine and newspaper ads, and our bi-annual catalog, its supporting collateral from window signs to e-blasts that match, and manages our website. One of her best qualities is keeping in contact with us. Heather and her staff are always accessible. Even when she was on vacation we were able to keep in contact showing dedication and caring for clients. Heather is responsive, timely and amazingly creative. Finding Heather and Ad Factory was such good luck for Crystal Boutique and our staff.

I would recommend Heather and Ad Factory to anyone that wants extraordinary talent, a team player and flexibility. The business world changes quickly and Heather keeps us ahead of that curve.” Joel Cohen, Owner
