William Lawrence Advertising (WLA) has always had its head in the clouds – and its feet firmly on the ground.
Launched in 1977 to handle project and recruitment advertising for what was to become British Aerospace, WLA aimed high with the launch of the BAe 146 Whisperjet and never looked back.
Now a full service agency located in St Albans, WLA handles a wide range of advertising for both large and small companies interested in achieving maximum marketing effectiveness at a cost-effective price.
We are proud of a track record that has seen us build lasting relationships with our clients. We think it’s the best advertisement an agency can have.
William Lawrence Advertising is fully recognised by the Newspaper Publishers Association (National Press) and the Newspaper Society (Regional and Local press). While recruitment still accounts considerably for turnover, William Lawrence has over twenty years plus years evolved into a major, regional motors and retail agency.
Although its base is in St Albans, active clients are to be found in the Channel Islands, South Coast, West Country, Wales, Nottingham and East Anglia as well as London and the Home Counties.
The staff and associates of William Lawrence are very much a team with a hands-on style of operation. The majority have been involved in the advertising industry for longer than they care to remember and it is probable that for collective years of experience no other agency of its size can match William Lawrence. This doesn’t mean the agency hasn’t kept abreast of progress. Far from it. Its studio uses Apple Mac technology and programmes with ancillary equipment and Hi-Speed Broadband for receiving and distributing of artwork.
Some copy, such as car listings can be received via e-mail and transferred to the artwork production system and if necessary, authorised material can also be downloaded from web sites onto the production system.
An equally great asset for William Lawrence clients is its understanding and experience of the media and its muscle in negotiating with them. This comes not only from the thirty plus years in the business but also from the fact that all its senior members at one time worked in the media in one capacity or another.
So, at William Lawrence you have the ultimate combination of years of experience backed by the latest IT, sophisticated systems backed by seasoned and dedicated advertising people.
