What Ad Pro does

AD PRO is a privately held, full-service advertising and branding firm founded in 1988 and headquartered at 5842 McFadden Avenue in Huntington Beach, California, with 11-50 employees. The company operates as an integrated creative and production 'branding super firm,' delivering advertising campaigns, graphic design, marketing strategy, public relations, convention exhibits and graphics, printing, silkscreen imprinting, embroidery, signage, web and multimedia design, and promotional products under one roof. Its production backbone consists of in-house digital presses, large format color plotters, vinyl plotters, bindery, screen printing, and embroidery equipment, supported by FTP-based file transfer and remote machinery access that enable distributed collaboration with clients.

The company monetizes primarily through quote-based professional services engagements, with department-specific email and phone entry points (creative@, printing@, screenprint@, embroidery@, signs@, 877-77-ADPRO), and secondarily through an e-commerce promotional products catalog at adproweb.logomall.com. Its go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 500 corporations, federal and state agencies (U.S. Small Business Administration, U.S. Department of Census), and tribal organizations (National Indian Gaming Association), with supplier-diversity positioning as the central wedge into large-corporate procurement. The firm is American Indian, woman-owned and certified as a minority business enterprise through the NMSDC, California Public Utility Commission MBWE, and U.S. SBA SDB, and holds ISO 9001:2015 registration covering its full service portfolio.
