About

"Steve is one of the most creative and innovative people I have had the pleasure of meeting. He has a complete grasp on marketing and finding unique avenues to transform ideas into realities." --John Hanti, Owner and Executive Producer, the Studios at SST, New York City. A FULL-SERVICE AD AGENCY AND MARKETING FIRM IN ONE MAN. Powerful, persuasive copy is not written by academics. It is written by lunatics. Like me. After ten fabulous years in the 70's as a so-called rock star, I added journalist to my resume and then, in 1982, creative advertising and marketing guy. Through the years I have developed an extensive skill set and extraordinary empathy which I employ to serve clients large and small. Copy and design, collateral sales pieces, print, radio, blogs, website graphics and content, articles, editing, SEO--whatever you need. I'll deliver. And if you need a great jingle or a great radio spot, I can do that, too. For 32 years, major corporations like Dollar General Stores, Sara Lee Foods, Johnston & Murphy Shoes, Cadillac-Fairview Shopping Malls, along with countless local regional firms have relied on Steve Acker for their advertising. My experience as a songwriter and recording artist endows my work with a unique edge--street-smart advertising, aka... soul. "Touch the heart and the head will follow," and that's what I do. I have a gift for getting to the heart of my client's business quickly and communicate its message to the hearts of its customers powerfully. Being the benign lunatic that I am, I make the work fun and exciting because I am passionate about it. AND...I ALWAYS make the deadline.
