Every now and then something happens in life that takes you from heading in one direction and points you down a new path. One autumn our founder Joan was in the middle of one such life change, contemplating her new business while sipping coffee on the back porch of her home on Sugartown Road. Lost in thought ideas began percolating, when a beautiful Sugar Maple tree caught her eye. A stunning tree whose leaves burst with brilliant color reliably each autumn. It provided inspiration.

A little investigation revealed that “Sugartown” was derived after one of two origins. The dispute stated it was named after either the Sugar Maple tree, which is known for growing quickly, its great strength and vibrant fall foliage. Or it was a variation of Shugart’s Town, named after Eli Shugart, who in 1804 opened a tavern to serve weary travellers at a crossroad in the historic village of Sugartown. After thoughtful consideration Joan opted to brand her business after the Sugar Maple tree (as opposed to a tavern). It seemed like a good fit for an ad agency whose mission is to help businesses grow big, stay strong and look brilliant.

We feel it is important to contribute to one’s community and support causes related to education, community healthcare systems, the well being of children, women’s interests and non-profit organizations.

As a woman owned business we also feel it is imperative to advance opportunities for young women through mentoring, professional support and paid internships. We teach and guide and try to inspire with the belief that “Success, if it’s meant to be, it’s up to me.”

We are proud to have supported these organizations:
