In 2013, Lindsay Thomae took a leap of faith, launching Thomae Advertising with nothing but a vision and determination. Twelve years later, her boutique agency has become a strategic powerhouse by forging genuine and trusted relationships.
A native of Tucson, Thomae’s deep ties to the community influence her agency's approach, which emphasizes authentic connections as the foundation of success. This client-centric focus has cultivated strong, enduring partnerships across various regions, from local businesses to national brands.
Thomae Advertising crafts narratives that resonate. " We give brands a voice,” Thomae said, “so our clients can focus on why they’re in business, their sweet spot.”
Empowering Through Example
Thomae's entrepreneurial spirit is fueled by more than business ambition—her role as a mother drives it. Her daughter, Ava, is her primary inspiration, “She drives my sense of purpose and ultimate desire to set a powerful example as a female business owner,” Thomae said. This personal motivation shapes her leadership, promoting a culture of empowerment for both her team and her clients. “I’m all for creating a safe and inclusive environment that encourages collaboration and fosters trust.” This commitment extends beyond her agency's walls, permeating every client relationship.
What Clients Say
Mike Belatti, COO of Arby’s (Irish Beef, LLC), shared his experience working with Thomae Advertising, “Lindsay and her team have been instrumental in crafting a compelling narrative that tells the broader story of who we are and what we do. What sets Thomae Advertising apart is its partnership-driven approach. They don’t just execute strategies; they become an extension of our team, constantly identifying opportunities and staying one step ahead. Quite simply, they are invaluable partners.”
Zach Fenton, Partner of Rielly Craft Pizza & Drink, Bata, and Fentonelli’s, echoes this sentiment, praising Thomae’s dedication and enthusiasm: "Lindsay Thomae is the best! She has great energy and is passionate about supporting her clients and their businesses. She frequently delivers unique value-add marketing opportunities through her relationships with various local publications and media. In a world where so many people seem to do the bare minimum, it’s refreshing to work with someone who goes above and beyond."
Joan Harvey, Co-Owner of Canyon Cabinetry & Design, who has worked closely with Thomae Advertising for over a decade, adds, "I’ve been working with Lindsay Thomae for a long time, and our partnership has built a solid foundation based on trust and mutual respect. I recommend Lindsay to others because she works tirelessly for her clients and genuinely cares about their success. She takes the time to tailor her services to meet our unique needs, and she's always mindful of our audience. Lindsay knows how to get us seen and she listens, understands, and delivers results that truly reflect what we want for our business."
Looking Ahead
Twelve years in, Thomae remains laser-focused on innovation, helping brands communicate and connect with their target audience. “We’re communicators at heart,” she said. “Communication never goes out of style. Who knows how we’ll communicate years from now? That’s what makes marketing so exciting, and we’ll be here for it!”
