We are a “small” agency continuing to do BIG things! When Axis changed to Stimulus Advertising, it was more than just a name change. To be continued...
Stimulus Advertising is a full service marketing firm that specializes in Web Design, Branding, Social Media, Logo Design, Media Placement, APP Development and Marketing. Founded in the 2008, Stimulus advertising was created with the intention of bringing something different to Lynchburg. As the previous Brand Compliance manager for what is now known as Genworth, owner Lynn Kirby envisioned an a
gency that was not only honest, but also able to provide the customer with the best advertising and marketing needs in the area. Beginning the business under the name Axis Creative from 2001 to 2008, Lynn and his team helped many companies within the Bedford, Virginia and surrounding areas create lasting solutions to meet all of their business goals. The business changed for the better, looking to help more people in more areas across the United States.

Tip #5:
Use clear calls-to-action to turn casual visitors into potential conversations. Each page of your website should lead somewhere that promotes your business.
Tip #3:
Use valuable copy to inform, engage and convey. Clear, concise messaging that speaks directly to your audience builds credibility and encourages action.
Tip #2:
Use impactful photography to build a connection with your audience. Whether you're showing products, team members or your workspace, photography should be intentional and support your business's message.
The essence of great design lies in the fact that nothing can be removed without making the whole feel incomplete. In this sample from 1994, you can see that no design element can be removed without the design breaking.

Color isn't just decoration—it's strategy.
From trust-building blues to energetic reds, the right hue can shape how your brand is seen (and felt).
For powerful or energetic brands, red might be the best choice.
For traditional institutions that instill trustworthiness in their brand, blue conveys stability.
Yellow is a good choice for an energetic or optimistic brand, and green is often used to communicate growth or health.
