About Advertel, Inc.

By definition, Advertel is an ad agency. We operate much like an ad agency. Many of us have worked at the ad agency level through our career. Some of us come from media (radio, TV, newspaper), yet others have roots in telecommunications. If you walk through our halls, you'll see cubicles, offices, conference rooms, IT/engineering department, recording studios, and production/distribution facilities. In this respect, we may also resemble a radio station, except no transmitter.

We're professionals dedicated to making our clients look and sound good, with a primary focus on telephone media. While we've seen many changes in media recently, Advertel's business philosophy has remained the same. Provide a service that proves invaluable to our clients, at a quality level and cost not easily achieved by any other means.
