Why should you talk to Ads&IDEAS®?
The parent company of Ads&IDEAS® is the James G. Elliott Co., Inc., a successful outsourced sales company established in 1984, that has generated an estimated $750 million dollars of revenue for more than 600 brands.  Jim Elliott, the founder, built the business on the understanding that sound strategic thinking is essential to advertising sales success, and he created an environment where analysis comes first.

Each year, a number of publishers and media owners who are not clients of the outsourced sales company ask Jim Elliott and his associates to help them with advertising strategies and product positioning.  Although many of these executives have no plans to outsource their advertising sales operations, they recognize the value of the Elliott Co.’s current knowledge base and experience and tap into it,

In 2016, to accommodate the growing demand and to reduce possible confusion between the consulting / advisory services and the Elliott Co.’s sales arm, Jim Elliott launched a sister company — Ads&IDEAS — still connected to the Elliott Co. but with a different mission. Research, marketing services, consulting and our newsletter by the same name are grouped under the Ads&IDEAS® umbrella.  The James G. Elliott Co., Inc., continues to be focused on advertising, exhibit, and sponsorship sales.

Ads&IDEAS® is a learning organization. The unique advantage this new division offers to media brands is current, constantly updated knowledge of today’s advertising environment and best practices gained from the sales company.
