About Us: Marketing for the Trades
At A David Creation (ADC), we’re not your typical marketing agency. We don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions or one-size-fits-all templates. Instead, we tailor strategies to fit your unique business, your goals, and your market.
I’ve spent my life in the trades, growing up in my family’s painting company, Chism Brothers Painting. I know what it takes to build and run a successful contracting business — the hard work, the challenges, and the decisions that define success. Today, ADC carries that hands-on experience forward to serve painting contractors and similar trades. Whether you’re an industrial painter, a residential repaint specialist, or a contractor focused on garage floors or roof coatings, we understand your business because we’ve lived it.
How We Work: A Team Built for Winning
At ADC, we approach marketing like a football team. Success doesn’t happen by accident — it takes strategy, coordination, and teamwork.
The Head Coach: Your Account Manager
Your Account Manager is your head coach. A great coach isn’t the best player on the field, but they know how to lead the team, set the strategy, and make the decisions that win games. Your Account Manager oversees every part of your marketing plan, ensuring the right plays are made and the entire team is working toward your goals.
The Specialists: Your Star Players
Behind every successful strategy is a team of experts:
- Lead Generators: Specialists in Google Ads, Facebook, and SEO who drive the right traffic and leads to your business.
- Creative Playmakers: Writers, videographers, and content creators who craft messaging and visuals that connect with your audience.
- Brand Experts: Professionals who refine your branding, messaging, and design to make your business stand out.
- Graphic Designers: Trusted for day-to-day design needs like flyers, ads, or signage.
- Campaign Strategists: Experts who manage direct mail, email marketing, or retargeting with precision.
Team Huddles: Staying on Course
Unlike many agencies that set up autopilot campaigns, ADC is hands-on. We meet regularly — like team huddles in football — to review your progress, refine strategies, and ensure we stay aligned with your goals. Whether you’re looking to grow aggressively or maintain a certain business size, we tailor our approach to what winning means for you.
What Makes ADC Different?
- No Cookie-Cutter Marketing: While great ideas can work across markets, every business is unique. We take the time to understand your goals and create strategies specific to your market and audience.
- A Focus on Your Goals: Whether you want to scale your business or maintain a steady size, we work with your vision in mind.
- All Shapes and Sizes: From residential repaints to industrial coatings, we work with painters of all specialties and business models.
- Hands-On Collaboration: Marketing isn’t something we “set and forget.” We’re actively involved, meeting regularly to ensure your success.
Are We a Good Fit?
We’re not for everyone — and that’s okay. At ADC, we work with business owners who are ready to collaborate, invest in their growth, and trust our expertise. If you’re looking for a marketing partner who will walk alongside you — not just set up a template and walk away — we might be the perfect fit.
Our clients range from businesses just getting started to established companies nearing $10 million in revenue. Some outgrow the need for an outsourced team and move to an in-house marketing manager — and that’s a milestone we celebrate with them. Even then, ADC often remains a trusted partner, providing expert execution on high-level campaigns or serving as an advisor to their team.
So let’s make it simple. If you’ve read this far and like what you see, I have one question for you:
