the company

Don Farleo Advertising & Design Company (ADCo) was founded in March 1991 to fill a distinctive niche as a communications company – a company with many of the capabilities of a full-service advertising, marketing and design agency; yet, a company with the heart and soul of a freelancer. Don Farleo, ADCo’s owner, left the multilevel bureaucracies of conventional advertising agencies because he believed then as he does now, that clients could—and should—expect honest value and accountability. You shouldn’t have to pay for the stuffing in the middle.

Compared to big agencies, ADCo offers creative advertising and design services with more streamlined functions and far less bureaucracy. Compared to freelancers, ADCo offers experience, stability and broader capabilities while still maintaining their hungry energy and fortitude.

Today, ADCo continues to thrive on its core roots – Operate simply, without layers of bureaucracy, to efficiently provide solid value and effective communication solutions for clients.

Responsiveness and flexibility are paramount, accommodating the distinct requirements of each client and each project. ADCo creates communications that are highly creative, yet soundly based on strategic thinking. And our commitment to quality, creative development and superb execution is steadfast — you’ll find a team at ADCo with the talent, expertise and resources to meet your advertising needs.
