about us

We rock... no seriously, we do.

"The times, they are a-changin'" in the recruitment advertising world and that means your ad agency should be changing right along with them. Of course, we have a long history in the industry... over 30 years now. Our team consists of a good combination of old and new characters all working with the same goals in mind.

Now, we've heard that not many people love what they do but, at David Wilson Associates, we have more good days than bad. Whether working on a new pitch, brainstorming for new ideas or planning our next BBQ, we always put our best foot forward. We thrive on creativity and competition, whether playing another company in softball or volleyball or competing on an RFP, we want to win.

We believe we work harder than the competition, and always with our clients' best interest at heart. Because in the end, your success directly reflects on our success and our success starts with our employees.
